Active learning for undergraduate statisticians

In universities, mathematics pedagogy often follows a very traditional didactic model. More modern approaches are taking hold throughout the sciences, with active learning as a strong component. Recent guidelines on teaching statistics from the ASA include active learning as an example of best practice.

The speakers in this session will draw on their experience of active learning in statistics for undergraduate students of the mathematical sciences, providing examples of successful implementations. The aim is to share best practice and stimulate discussion about future directions
