THE NEED FOR MORE ADAPTIVE TEACHING METHODS
Most students find statistics difficult and uninspiring:
• Conflicts with pre-conceived ideas about chance and data analysis
• Increasingly complex statistical data structures• Complex mathematical formulas• Instruction still dependent on blackboard-based
lectures and paper-and-pencil homework
![Page 3: THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF MULTIMEDIA TEACHING OF STATISTICS Nathaniel Derby, Wolfgang Härdle, and Bernd Rönz Institute for Statistics and Econometrics Economics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d255503460f949fc32f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF TEACHING STATISTICS
The Third Dimension: Jumping between frames of the sequence (context)
3.3 3.2
3.1
1
2
3
4
The First Dimension: The sequence of the lesson (storyline)
The Second Dimension: Examples and more information (deepening)
Map these three dimensions onto the computer.

WHY A NET-BASED SOLUTION?
• Web browser the only connection between different platforms
• Easy access to real data sets
• allows for the use of web-based tools
![Page 5: THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF MULTIMEDIA TEACHING OF STATISTICS Nathaniel Derby, Wolfgang Härdle, and Bernd Rönz Institute for Statistics and Econometrics Economics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d255503460f949fc32f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
GOALS
For the teacher:
1. Move from classroom examples to more elaborate statistical data analysis
2. Handle more data and examples in the instruction
3. Emphasize more statistical critical thinking
4. Demonstrate the assumptions connected with various statistical methods and models
5. Concentrate more on the students’ difficulties
![Page 6: THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF MULTIMEDIA TEACHING OF STATISTICS Nathaniel Derby, Wolfgang Härdle, and Bernd Rönz Institute for Statistics and Econometrics Economics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d255503460f949fc32f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
For the student (three dimensions):
1. Review the lectures at his/her own pace
2. Perform examples with several data sets and view the results
3. Discover relations between the course subjects
GOALS

THE PRESENT SITUATION
Transparencies:
• An outline of the lectures in catch phrases
• Important formulas
• Graphic representations
• Examples -- few computer-based, presented by lecturer
![Page 8: THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF MULTIMEDIA TEACHING OF STATISTICS Nathaniel Derby, Wolfgang Härdle, and Bernd Rönz Institute for Statistics and Econometrics Economics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d255503460f949fc32f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Teaching material for the students:
• Outline of the lectures• Selected textbook references• Collection of the formulas• Printed versions of transparencies• Prepared exercises with solutions
Limited computer use, not stressed by the lecturer

THE PROPOSAL: MM*STAT
• Hypertext functionality throughout all pages
• More information
• Examples (Fully explained, enhanced, interactive, programmable)
• Multiple choice questions at the end of paragraphs
• Glossary
• Introductory page with general explanations
• Help system
• Video sequences
• Sound

Ideas for future development:
• Question-answer page
• Page for notes
• Page for the timing of the lecture
• Links to other subject areas for more information
