Abstract:
|
More and more statistics courses are being taught in online or hybrid environments, and it can be a challenge for instructors to think about how to best structure and teach such courses. During this panel session, four educators will share their experiences teaching in online and hybrid environments. The educators come from different departments (Business, Educational Psychology, and Statistics) and have experience working in different environments (online or hybrid) with different types of students (undergraduate, graduate, and non-traditional). Discussion will focus on a variety of issues, such as time management (from the instructor and student perspective), assessment, working with large classes, working within different classroom management systems, and fostering active learning within online environments. The panelists will share how they have dealt with different challenges involved in online teaching, and they will also talk about the unique opportunities online teaching can provide in terms of better understanding how students learn statistics and how to most effectively teach statistics.
