An Earlier Adventure
2001 Kansas City Math Tech Expo
Limited Interactions
Our Intro Stats Course
Elementary Statistics (gen. studies prereq.)
Instructor each semester for past 8 years
Other introductory courses across campus:GBA, PSY, NUR, ECON, …
Introduced MyMathLab online homework (Fundamentals of Statistics, by Sullivan)
Created an applied statistics course for more mathematically-inclined students.
MyMathLab Homework
Why Change?
Consistent results! Strong evaluations.
But some students fail to complete the course Job or family issues Financial issues Student immaturity
Administrators increased attention to success rates and graduation rates
Changes to general studies courses and their prerequisites.
Change is Coming
Video lectures becoming common (expected?) College algebra video lectures
complemented with guided note-taking.
Math faculty decision to consider more online course options
Changes to the common core for high schools
CBMS National ForumThe First Two Years of College Math: Building Student Success
Change is Needed
Students comment on the first day example
Making a Change
Short video introductions posted online for a mild “flip the classroom” flavor.
Class time available for more examples, more active-learning, expanded coverage.
Customize WeBWorK homework problems (2014 MAA PREP online workshop)
Open-source textbook (OpenIntro Statistics, openintro.org)
Considerations
Break existing presentations into more palatable “bite-size” pieces.
Adjust material to match new textbook.
Create WeBWorK problem sets consistent with the course.
Organize set of relevant in-class activities.
Re-use same videos as a resource for applied statistics course.
Technology Choices
Panopto – lecture capturing, recording
Doceri – Using your iPad as a “portable whiteboard”
WeBWorK – open source, online homework
