Abstract:

Online courses--whether intended as a distance learning course or as part of a blended instruction program--are becoming increasingly popular. There are a variety of challenges involved in translating statistics education pedagogy into an online format. For example, how to encourage constructive discussions? How to design collaboration-friendly environments? How to create activities that develop understanding? The luncheon host has experience with these issues through the INSPIRE program, an online program to teach statistics to first-time AP Statistics teachers.
