Introducing the Common Online Data Analysis Platform

Data are everywhere, except in the classroom! The Concord Consortium’s Common Online Data Analysis Platform (CODAP) provides an easy-to-use web-based data analysis tool, geared toward middle and high school students, and aimed at teachers and curriculum developers. In this video, we demonstrate CODAP, presenting some of the many ways data flows into CODAP; dynamically linked tables, graphs, and maps; and user interaction with hierarchical data structures that help make the data intuitive. The Concord Consortium is currently collaborating with several NSF-funded curriculum development projects to bring more rich experiences with data to more teachers and students. We highlight CODAP’s use in InquirySpace (physics), OceanTracks (marine biology), and Terra Populus (social science). CODAP is free and open source with a commercial-friendly license. As the CODAP community grows, we expect this platform to become more powerful, flexible, and adaptable to a variety of online contexts. We invite you to join the CODAP community. http://codap.concord.org/ Vote for this video in the NSF STEM for All Video Showcase May 17-23, 2016: http://stemforall2016.videohall.com/presentations/740
