What is DataShop?

The LearnLab DataShop is a data repository and web application for learning science researchers. It provides secure data storage as well as an array of analysis and visualization tools available through a web-based interface.

DataShop is currently funded in part by a National Science Foundation grant (OAC-1443068). Previously it was funded by National Science Foundation grants (SBE-0836012, SBE-0354420) to LearnLab.
