Active Learning with FRED Data
Mendez-Carbajo, Diego
Journal of Economic Education, v51 n1 p87-94 2020
In this article, the author describes the practice of active learning with Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED). First, he outlines the broad intellectual context of learning with and about economic data, summarizing the recent scholarly contributions made to the topic. Next, the author presents several strategies for teaching with FRED in the classroom. Following that, he describes a type of interactive instructional resource called FRED Interactive (FRED-I) modules, accessible through econlowdown.org, the online repository of multimedia teaching and learning resources produced and curated by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The author then illustrates the use of these modules in hybrid classrooms through several examples. He concludes by presenting potential lines of research on the topic of active learning with data.
