Abstract:
|
With the advent of the internet, many technologies have emerged as tools for enhancing the educational experience. One such technology is the podcast, a pre-recorded audio and/or video file made available on the internet to be played on any computer or mobile device at anytime. This presentation will give a brief description of podcasting, academic uses, and the associated benefits and weaknesses. While the name implies the use of an iPOD, this presentation will show that podcasting requires only a computer (MAC or PC), recording software, a microphone, and the internet. Demonstrations, incorporating Tablet technology, will be applied to the area of statistics education. Podcast mini-lectures will be created covering topics on generating histograms in Excel, normal probability distributions and z-tables, z-tests, and regression estimation with interpretation of accompanying output.
