Data-Driven Statistic Courses in an Interactive Teaching Computer Laboratory

该项目正在为初级统计专业的学生创建一个互动教学实验室，通过增加数据分析潜力、证明获取万维网资源、加强合作学习的可能性以及鼓励发展交流技能来改进课程。使用V-Net交互式培训系统将网关计算机联网，该系统允许教员从控制站监视、交互或显示任何单个站上的工作。该课程还利用了万维网上可用的资源，例如Chance News和各种现实世界的数据集。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。学生被要求以书面和口头形式传达他们的统计查询结果。这种数据驱动的课程重点和通过V-Net实现的多样化的课堂体验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。学生的实验室练习和项目结果将在该项目的网页上公布。*

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. *
