Data-Driven Learning Library
Like a closet full of physics apparatus, but for data and models.
欢迎来到ATOC数据驱动学习库，简称DDLL. The DDLL is a virtual library of discipline-specific modules, ready for integration into the classroom. 许多ATOC的教职员工对研究质量的观测数据集和地球系统模型具有特定的专业知识和熟悉程度，这些数据集和模型已成功地转化为教学工具或课堂材料. These modules, contributed by faculty and curated by the Technology Committee, 为教授相同或类似课程的任何教员所设计，以便所有学生都能从ATOC教员的全面专业知识中受益, independent of who is the instructor at the time.
