Webinar Recording: Warm and Cold Data in Learning: Appreciating the Goldilocks Zone

[Click Here to Watch]

Warm data research seeks to answer the question: “How can we improve our perception of the complexity we live within, so we may improve our interaction with the world?” (Bateson, n.d.) Cold data on the other hand, captures the methodical steps of observe, measure, and analyze inherent in natural science. We need both. Join Drs. Hilary Leighton and Mickie Noble as they explore how to create integrated, interdisciplinary curriculum designed to help students develop both a more affective and personal connection to their studies as well as necessary empirical skills. This can further emphasize the importance of multiple ways of knowing and creates an opportunity for new science narratives that better understand the interrelationships of a complex, living system.
