This is a Web-based, technology-intensive short course developed jointly by the U of I Departments of Statistics and Curriculum & Instruction. The topics to be covered will include: descriptive statistics (central tendency and variation); expectation; probability; regression and data collection.
Both the content of statistics and effective instructional strategies will be dealt with--reflecting the NCTM Standards for curriculum and for teaching. This module is composed of the following five units:

• Unit 1: Exploring Data: Tables and Graphs
• Unit 2: Summarizing Data: Centers and Spreads
• Unit 3: Linear Relationships: Regression and Correlation
• Unit 4: Probability and Expected Value
• Unit 5: Probability Distributions and Random Sampling

Participants will complete one unit at a time, but must complete all five units to earn credit for the module.
Credit: 4 grad. sem. hrs. or 12 CEUs.
