Egalitarian access to data resources provides a level playing field for educational institutions to engage students in exploration and participation in the scientific process. However, online data resources are often geared toward domain research and present challenges to both non-specialist instructors and students in how to develop teaching modules and reach learning goals, respectively. This session invites papers that provide detailed examples of how online resources are applied in the undergraduate classroom and the range of success attained in the various endeavors.<br><br><br>Conveners: <br>Karin A.
