Abstract:
|
Teaching Statistics Online: Online education is growing faster than brick and mortar classes. What is the future of higher education? How will statistics fare? Does teaching intro stats require face-to-face instruction? Will a "best-of-breed" online version of Statistics 101 develop and come to dominate the field? If so, what will contribute to such an outcome? If not, what will prevent it? These are some of the questions that will be discussed at this roundtable.
