Inquiry activities have become increasingly common in Ecology and Evolution courses, but the rapid shift to remote instruction for many faculty members in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has created new challenges for maintaining these student-centered activities in a distance learning format. Moving forward, many instructors will be asked to create flexible course structures that allow for a mix of different teaching modalities and will be looking for resources to support student inquiry in both online and in-person settings. Here, we propose the use of data-driven inquiry activities as a flexible option for offering students experiences to build career-relevant skills and learn fundamental ecological concepts. We share lessons learned from our experiences teaching a two-semester course-based research experience in global change ecology that leverages publicly available datasets to engage students in broadly relevant scientific inquiry.

A distributed framework and cyberinfrastructure for open, persistent, and secure access to Earth observational data. It ensures the preservation, access, use and reuse of multi-scale, multi-discipline, and multi-national science data via three primary cyberinfrastucture elements and a broad education and outreach program. The DataONE Investigator Toolkit is a collection of software tools for finding, using, and contributing data in DataONE. DataONE currently hosts three Coordinating Nodes that provide network-wide services to enhance interoperability of the Member Nodes and support indexing and replication services. Coordinating Nodes provide a replicated catalog of Member Node holdings and make it easy for scientists to discover data wherever they reside, also enabling data repositories to make their data and services more broadly available to the international community. DataONE Coordinating Nodes are located at the University of New Mexico, the University of California Santa Barbara and at the University of Tennessee (in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory). DataONE comprises a distributed network of data centers, science networks or organizations. These organizations can expose their data within the DataONE network through the implementation of the DataONE Member Node service interface. In addition to scientific data, Member Nodes can provide computing resources, or services such as data replication, to the DataONE community.
