  1. Using statistics in online and hybrid Statistics courses to improve Student Learning

  2. Overview • Low stakes assessments • HW with help • Progress Checks/Quiz next step without help aids; multiple attempts and pooling to allow for students to use this as formative AND summative assessment. • Using Item Analysis (IA) to improve student learning • Utilize statistics from IA to lead discussions in class or online discussion boards • Mean/median of exam scores • Email by Criteria; use assignment scores to reach those struggling the most

  3. Low Stakes Assessment • Heartland has integrated this philosophy into developmental math and statistics courses using MLP features • Unlimited attempts on homework and progress checks (quizzes) with stop-gap measures for timely intervention to decrease frustration • Utilize the Study Plan to improve scores • This allows both formative and summative assessment to occur with the same assessment instrument

  4. MLP Homework and Quizzes • View Statistics course in MLP • View HW and Quiz settings • www.heartland.mylabsplus.com

  10. Example of using IA in Tests • Look at Exam 1 in Kim’s current statistics course. • Statistics Course • MSL Instructors Tools • MML Gradebook • Select ‘Tests’ or if already in Gradebook, use dropdown to select ‘Tests’ • Click on the IA icon below the assignment you wish to review • Export Class Summary • How to utilize this information to improve student learning
