Abstract:
|
One of the challenges in using technology when teaching statistics is getting all your students on the same page: licensing and installing the software, coping with different interfaces for different operating systems, distributing data and software files. A new approach is to use web interfaces so that students need only have a browser. This round-table will present one on-line system based on R. In addition to removing issues about installation and system compatibility, on-line systems provide attractive opportunities for group and collaborative work. We'll discuss how on-line computation and collaborative possibilities can be used effectively and explore some innovative ways to provide better interfaces between students and statistical computation.
