Pearson: Web-Apps in Intro Stats


Bernhard Klingenberg (Williams College)


Information

Web-apps (apps that run in a browser) are popular learning tools that help enhance the student learning experience. While apps showing the Central Limit Theorem are now standard, GAISE guidelines of including simulation and multivariate thinking in the curriculum necessitate the use of different types of apps. But when and where should apps be introduced, and how should they be used? In this talk, Bernhard Klingenberg will offer some suggestions and demonstrations for how to strategically use apps to cover concepts and promote statistical thinking. Professor Klingenberg designed and published these web-apps at ArtofStat.com.
