Abstract

We shall present with examples how analysis of astronomy data can be used for an educational purpose to train students in methods of data analysis, statistics, programming skills and research problems. Special reference will be made to our IAU-OAD project `Astronomy from Archival Data' where we are in the process of building a repository of instructional videos and reading material for undergraduate and postgraduate students. Virtual Observatory tools will also be discussed and applied. As this is an ongoing project, by the time of the conference we will have the projects and work done by students included in our presentation. The material produced can be freely used by the community.
