This project is part of the Enhancing JISC data services for Teaching and Learning project cluster in this particular programme. The main focus of projects in this cluster is to improve use of existing JISC owned resources through the JISC data services for learning and teaching. Through a number of strategic investments by both the JISC and the ESRC, the UK academic community has access to a Collection of Historical and Contemporary Census data and related resources (CHCC) which are available in digital format. Whilst individual data sets are used extensively in research they are significantly under used in learning and teaching programmes within HE. There is clear evidence that the CHCC could be used more widely in learning and teaching programmes. The project will contribute to the DNER and will increase the use of the CHCC in learning and teaching by improving accessibility to the primary data resources; developing an integrated set of learning and teaching materials; improving awareness about the contexts in which Census data can be used in learning and teaching; integrating contextual materials; providing access to Web-based data exploration/ visualisation tools and developing resource discovery tools. The central aim of the project is to develop CHCC into a major DNER learning and teaching resource. The key objectives are to: - Promote increased and more effective use of network based data services for problem based learning and student project work across a broad cross section of learning and teaching programmes; - Develop an integrated Web-based learning and teaching system that links together data extraction and visualisation/ exploration tools with comprehensive learning and teaching resources; - Significantly increase the Census user base by increasing use of the CHCC in learning and teaching; - Build new user communities by promoting increased awareness of the CHCC and its learning and teaching potential; - Improve the productivity of teachers by significantly reducing the overheads required to incorporate; - Census data related resources into learning and teaching programmes; - Improve access to key primary data sources and related resources; - Minimise any delays in getting the key 2001 Census outputs used in learning and teaching. Project start date: 2000-10-01. Project end date: 2003-09-30. (Excerpt from this source)
