Abstract:

Are you involved with an online or distance learning introductory statistics course? Have you wondered how to foster active learning in your course? (Fostering active learning is one of the recommendations of GAISE.) Maybe you are already successful in doing this and would like to share your ideas. Maybe you'd like some ideas. Let's get together, brainstorm, share ideas, and talk about the challenges associated with implementing active learning in our online and distance learning courses.
