It is difficult to teach statistical methods to large groups of students  of mixed mathematical ability and subject interests.  So we are using  e-learning and drop-in workshops to enhance one-to-one contact. Panopto and Sympodium were used to make short video clips to explain basic  concepts and demonstrate the use of statistical software. Blackboard  quizzes were written to evaluate performance and provide feedback for a  series of formative and summative data analysis exercises that were  tailored to the subject interests of different groups of students.  Adaptive release rules were used to ensure that students achieved a set  standard of performance before progressing to the tests. Discussion  boards and workshops were used to discuss individual problems.

The E-learning Brownbag Series is a platform where academic staff can share their good practice in technology-enhanced learning with the university community, including both staff and students.Please book through CDSAP https://stafftraining.bis.aber.ac.uk/sd/list_courses.php or drop in during the session.
