DLs can be used:

"1.as a resource for teaching (curriculum development),

2.as an environment for learning (student experience), and

3.as authoring space (again, in support of student experience)."

DLs as primary sources for learning and investigation:

Remote sensing data access:

1. "students could investigate authentic scientific questions using real, complex data;
2. students would have the opportunity to study their world in order to explore policy options;
3. the activities that these resources support could help students to develop a view of science as inquiry unlike more conventional classroom activities; and
4. resources such as this can provide students with a common ground that links them to the community of practicing scientists."
