Open Science 101
Open Science 101 is a free curriculum designed to teach researchers, students, and the general public about the principles and practice of open science. Open science is a commitment to the open sharing of software, data, and knowledge (algorithms, papers, documents, ancillary information) as early as possible in the scientific process.
Important Open Science 101 Update
Open Science 101 was initially released in December 2023. Since then, over 3,000 learners have completed the curriculum, earning their NASA Open Science badge.
Over the past year, we have actively sought and received feedback from our learners and instructors. We appreciate the time and effort participants have taken to share their thoughts and experiences with us. We began planning for version 2.0 of the course in August of 2024 and are now in the process of implementation.
Version 2.0 will include:
- Feedback from the community, including user experience enhancements
- Fewer duplicated elements to reduce time to course completion
- Updated activities and examples to display the latest and most relevant use cases of open science
We have temporarily paused Open Science 101 to implement these updates. We anticipate bringing the Open Science 101 course and associated resources back online in April 2025.
Our goal is to ensure that Open Science 101 continues to serve as a high-quality and relevant resource for everyone. We are committed to making the course and related resources even better and more beneficial for the community.
