Teaching and Learning Conference 2019: Sta(r)tistics: A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) to teach Statistics in Biomedical Sciences

In general as soon as students of most disciplines hear the word statistics you will experience a change of the atmosphere in the room to one of gloom and uselessness. Comments such as “I have never understood maths” or “I might as well give up now” are far too common. The aim of this session therefore is to demonstrate that by using the MOOC "https://www.canvas.net/browse/university-of-sunderland/courses/statistics-for-everyone" it actually is possible for students to achieve a good statistical understanding whilst still enjoying working with a difficult material.
