Making the Transition to Online Teaching - JSM12 Invited Panel
According to Allen and Seaman (2010), in the fall of 2009, approximately 5.6 million college students were enrolled in at least one online course. As the demand for online courses continues to grow, it is important for statistics educators to think carefully about how to create quality online experiences for their students. It is possible that online courses may one day become the norm rather than the exception, and several instructors who are used to teaching in more traditional settings will need to transition to the new reality of teaching statistics. What kinds of things will need to change in this transition? What ideas will need to be left behind or reconsidered? How will the instructor's role change? This panel consists of instructors who have taught in a variety of settings at different levels (e.g., high school up through graduate school) and who teach everything from hybrid courses (i.e., partly online and partly classroom-based) to courses within fully online programs. The panel will share their experiences making the transition to online teaching and will provide helpful advice and lessons learned to the next generation of online statistics instructors.
