At the Western Conference on Science Education in London, I spoke about flipping a statistical consulting course for the first time.

Abstract:

A flipped class is one that engages students with material outside of the classroom to prepare for an active learning experience in the classroom. Bates et al. (2017) remind us that the idea of a flipped classroom is not new and that many classes are becoming increasingly suited to this model as higher education institutions invest more in technology. Instructors can choose to flip some classes in a...

At eCOTS 2024, I co-facilitated a birds of a feather session with Tatiana Krikella. 

Abstract:

In response to the evolving landscape of statistical education and the growing integration of technology, our discussion aims to explore avenues for enhancing the teaching capabilities of R and RStudio. The primary goal is to generate a collaborative list of features and tools that could be integrated into these...

At the UW Teaching and Learning Conference, I spoke about engaging students in their assessments by incorporating contributions from those students.

Abstract:

How can we better engage our students with their assessments? The use of student-generated questions (SGQs) or student-generated tests (SGTs) have been examined in recent years as demonstrated by Lam (2014). This approach is recognized to promote students’ active participation in the assessment process and to potentially provide students with timely feedback before misconceptions can be formed...

At the Math Teaching Seminar, I spoke about practices that I employ in my courses at the University of Waterloo to encourage and promote student voices.

Abstract:

One of my teaching goals for the past year was to establish practices in my courses that promote student voices and intentionally gather student feedback throughout the term. As a result, these practices have developed into a cohesive process that: (1) begins before the first day of class, (2) relies on anonymous and known feedback from students (the latter acquired from “Student Reps”),...
