end report: Big data in Biology Education

Big data handling is essential in modern Biology education. Existing curricula suffer from gaps between 1, traditional analysis method and modern computationally-intensive data handling, 2, the young and older generation’s learning styles, and 3, school laboratory facility and big data creation requirement. In order to bridge the gaps, we built an education scheme covering from big data creation to analysis. We embedded a novel side-by-side learning strategy during the learning process. The innovations were carried out by an interactive scheme based on “train-the-trainers” model. The project resulted in a practical infrastructure which can effectively implement big data in biology education.This file is the final report of the project.
