Welcome to the OLC (Beta Site)

ICPSR's Online Learning Center (OLC) is the result of discussions with teaching faculty about using data in their classrooms and the challenges such an undertaking can entail, in which several key themes emerged. Instructors wanted the ability to 1) quickly locate relevant data that are easy to work with and work to demonstrate the concept(s) and 2) customize any materials to their own teaching approach and syllabus.

Faculty can use the OLC to demonstrate concepts in class by simply clicking the links within the Data-Driven Learning Guides. The guides are also set up so that students can easily work though topics assigned by the instructor - no special software or previous statistical knowledge is required. Therefore, Data-driven Learning Guides allow instructors to easily integrate quantitative literacy into introductory and even upper-division courses.
