Teaching and Learning Conference 2019: Teaching Statistics to non-specialists

Think back to the last time you were taught Statistics. Can you describe the experience in three words? From many people we hear words like boring difficult or frustrating. Statistics training is crucial for enabling students to engage with their studies but it presents students and staff across disciplines with a set of particular challenges including a lack of enthusiasm and confidence. In this session we share the story of the Transform Statistics Project which has brought together academics from diverse subjects to discuss these challenges share best practice and develop better online resources for teaching and learning of Statistics.
