Apps in Intro Stats: Where, When, and Why
Join Bernhard Klingenberg from Williams College for ideas and demonstrations for how to strategically use apps to cover concepts such as sample-to-sample variability, multivariate thinking and permutation testing.
Professor Bernhard Klingenberg, Williams College
In this session, we discuss how apps in Intro Stats are increasingly popular learning tools that help enhance the student learning experience. While apps showing the Central Limit Theorem are now standard, GAISE guidelines of including simulation and multivariate thinking in the curriculum necessitate the use of different types of apps. We offer suggestions and demonstrations for how to strategically use apps to cover concepts such as sample-to-sample variability, multivariate thinking and permutation testing.

Professor Bernhard Klingenberg
Bernhard Klingenberg is Associate Professor of Statistics in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at Williams College, where he has taught introductory and advanced statistics classes for more than ten years. In 2013, he was instrumental in creating an undergraduate major in statistics at Williams, one of the first for a liberal arts college. At Williams, more than 70% of an incoming freshman class will have taken a course in introductory statistics by the time they graduate. Klingenberg frequently returns to his native Austria to hold visiting positions at universities there, and offers short courses on categorical data analysis throughout Europe and the US. He has published several peer-reviewed articles in statistical journals and consults regularly with academia and industry.
