 ## Abstract
 
-> A recent study has shown that students in IR courses are espe-
-cially motivated and learn more effectively when they participate
-in shared tasks as part of their coursework. We thus present a
-range of tools and resources that support teachers in integrating
-research in their IR courses. Based on TIREx and ir_datasets,
-our Web IDE-based applications and tutorials cover the process
-of a typical shared task in IR and allow students to gain hands-
-on experience with experimental IR research—from creating test
-collections over developing retrieval systems to making relevance
-judgments and finally statistically analyzing the results. Using our
-tools, IR research coursework can be conducted on existing or new
-collections but can also be coupled with an upcoming shared task
-to which students can optionally submit their final approaches. We
-do not only present our tools and resources, but also report on our
-experiences in implementing the corresponding teaching concept
-in four IR courses for students at two universities. Our results con-
-firm that students are very motivated to conduct research, and we
-also find that some of the resulting artifacts (e.g., students’ test
-collections and retrieval approaches) are of genuinely high quality.
