Addressing Barriers to Teaching and Learning Statistics at a Distance

In the vein of continuous improvement, faculty members and instructional designers who want to ensure that online courses meet Quality Matters (QM) standards should consider participating in this workshop. Attendees will interact with each other to examine at least one unit plan from the online statistic course that was the focus of a recent case study. They will reference the QM Rubric specifically Standards #4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 to make recommendations for course improvement. The overarching goal is to reduce barriers to learning and ensure alignment among the course objectives, the learning activities instructional materials, and media resources.
