Abstract: The work of the Flexible Learning in Statistics Group ranges from conducting studies of important aspects of statistics education to developing and testing resources for difficult statistics concepts. In this seminar, students will present several recent projects: using student focus groups to assess Shiny apps, developing and testing interactive resources to improve understanding of Bayesian inference, enhancing Stat 251 labs by creating active learning material and introducing pre-lab quizzes, and conducting a study of the impact of exam question wording on the performance of students with English as an Additional Language (EAL). You’ll also hear about StatEngage, the ASDa-led project to guide students through the challenges of consulting.
