Abstract:
|
Teaching introductory statistics courses presents a challenge to students with little mathematical background. This is an even greater challenge when the students are at remote locations. Interactive television (ITV) has been used to help build productive learning environment. We will discuss some of the challenges and advantages of using technologies for distance learning and share ideas of how to teach effectively.
