Title: Statistical Software in the Introductory Statistics Classroom
Author(s): Scott Toney*+
Companies: University of Denver
Keywords: Statistical Software ; Classroom software
Abstract:

Every college or university has at one time or another struggled with the question of what statistical software to use in support of statistics courses. Are you more focused on software for discovery and introduction of topics or calculations? Do you like the cost and power of R, the Big Data capabilities of JMP, the research applicability of SPSS, or the universal coverage of Excel? Do you have something else that adds value to your courses? Come to this session to share what has worked well for your institution and to hear what other institutions are using (or have stopped using). Our goal will be to not only share, but to create a shared resource we can draw from after the conference.


Authors who are presenting talks have a * after their name.
