The CDS-Exchange Community Fellows program aims to support educators in creating and sharing cutting-edge instructional resources that integrate computational and data science approaches across fields. The focus for this year’s cohort will be data visualization techniques. Selected fellows will receive funding, training, and mentorship to develop open educational materials that can be widely disseminated to fellow instructors in the CDS community.
Led by CDS-Exchange PI Kate Cahill of New Jersey Institute of Technology and co-PI Linda Akli of the Texas Advanced Computing Center, mentoring and model curriculum materials will be provided by Vetria Byrd. Currently the Department Head and Associate Professor of Computer Science at James Madison University, Dr. Byrd is a nationally recognized expert in information visualization and Data Visualization Pedagogy.
