Do you teach undergraduate introductory statistics? Would you consider joining a
large-scale effort to enhance course outcomes for students who identify as Black, Latine,
Indigenous, People of Color, from low-income homes, or the first in their families to go
to college?
Digital Promise is looking for instructors to participate in the Fall 2024 Cohort of the
Statistics Teaching and Technology Studies (
STATS)<http://statsresearch.org/>g/>. This
research has been funded by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and examines the
implementation and efficacy of a new introductory statistics courseware based on the
Charles A. Dana Center's curriculum and incorporating active learning and real-world
examples.
What does it mean to be in the STATS Fall ‘24 Cohort?
* Participate in a set of online research activities including student surveys,
instructor surveys, and a statistics concept assessment for 3 academic terms
* Implement the Lumen One courseware starting either in the Fall 24 or the Fall 25
term
* FREE access to the Lumen One courseware for any instructor and student in a class
implementing the courseware as part of the research
* A $1000 / semester honorarium for instructors participating in the research (for a
total of $3,000 for 3 semesters)
* Up to $8000 institutional honorarium (dependent on implementation year and number of
participating instructors)
* Gain additional insight into the engagement and learning outcomes of students in
your introductory statistics sections
