Abstract:

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) recently unveiled several new online data training modules and data tools to facilitate easy access and use of its data. This session provides guidance and advice on using these online resources to navigate a myriad of NCES data sets. The session will cover new additions to the Distance Learning Dataset Training System (DLDT), which provides information about NCES data and the tools that users need in order to find published reports, explore and acquire data, create data files, and conduct analyses in selected statistical software packages. The session will also summarize web gateways for NCES data users and introduce a resource document offering detailed instructions on using selected online data tools.
