Abstract:

In this session, we will discuss online approaches to basic statistical education. I will give demonstrations of how we teach a "statistical reasoning"-centric course online at Johns Hopkins, and we will discuss the approaches and experiences of the session participants. We also will brainstorm on how to take an intensive, real-time, interactive laboratory-based course in statistical computing and make it web-ready. For years, we have taught two-week intensive courses in data analyses at Johns Hopkins and want to pursue it as an online offering. The varied and innovative perspectives of session participants guarantee to make this an exciting and informative exercise.
