Data-Driven Statistic Courses in an Interactive Teaching Computer Laboratory

该项目正在为初级统计学学生创建一个互动式教学实验室，通过提高数据分析潜力、证明获取万维网资源的途径、加强合作学习的可能性和鼓励发展沟通技巧来改进课程。网关计算机正在使用V-Net交互式培训系统联网，该系统允许教师从控制站监控、交互或显示任何单个站点的工作。这门课程还利用了万维网上的资源，例如机会新闻，以及各种真实世界的数据集。本课程通过广泛使用专业质量的统计软件包，强调解决问题和批判性思维的能力。学生被要求用书面和口头两种形式交流他们的统计调查结果。这种数据驱动的课程重点和V-Net使课堂体验的多样性成为可能，为统计密集型专业的学生提供了更好的准备，并使教师教育项目的学生接触到各种各样的学习体验。学生的实验练习和项目结果可以在项目的“我们”页面上找到。＊

This project is creating an interactive teaching laboratory for students in elementary statistics which is improving the curriculum by increasing data-analysis potential, proving access to resources on the World Wide Web, enhancing possibilities for cooperative learning, and encouraging the development of communication skills. Gateway computers are being networked using the V-Net Interactive Training system which allows the instructor to monitor, interact with, or display the work on any individual station from a control station. The course also taps into resources available on the World Wide Web, for example Chance News, and a variety of real-world data sets. The course emphasizes problem-solving and critical thinking skills by making extensive use of a professional quality statistical software package. Students are being required to communicate the results of their statistical inquiries using both written and oral formats. This data-driven course emphasis and the variety of classroom experiences made possible by V-Net is providing better preparation for students in statistics-intensive majors and exposing students in teacher education programs to a wide variety of learning experiences. Student laboratory exercises and project results are being made available on the project's we` page. *
