MATH 115 (Statistics)3 credits with an elementary algebra
prerequisite (for now)Mostly pre-nursing students and pre-
dental hygiene students with some liberal arts (AA degree), CTE (AS/AAS degree), and unclassified students
2-3 sections per semester taught by me and one other tenured math professor
Our joint decision: focus the student’s attention and work on a statistical term project.

Project EmphasisA term project gets the student to
experience every aspect of the statistical process
Project topics and general methodology are of the students’ choosingAn introductory assignment and small-
group discussion focus on statistical questions and data collection
Initial topics and research methodology are proposed by the student but over- or under-reaches are discussed with the instructor to ensure appropriate and meaningful plans

Project EmphasisRequired progress reports keep students
on task and facilitate student-instructor dialogue
Grading standardsTopic and progress reports submitted on
time and appropriate (possibly after revision)
Topic relevance to course learning outcomes
Depth of researchResearch relevance to topic chosenPresentation of the submission artifactConsistency of conclusions and dataSelf-evaluation

Project EmphasisNot fully a project-based learning
approachThe usual topics are introduced in
the usual order but the motivation for the topics is how they facilitate the students’ projects
Expected coverage is ensured while retaining to a great degree one of the important hallmark of project-based learning that English and Kitsansas (2013) identified: self-regulated learning
![Page 7: Eric Matsuoka CMC 3 South Fall Mini-Conference October 10, 2015.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d9a6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Statistical projects are good but Web 2.0 submission options make them better.
Today’s “Digital Native” students grew up with technology and eschew text-based elements of traditional education (Prensky, 2001).
We should leverage the iGeneration’s love of technology (Rosen, 2011).
Flexible options form the core of Universal Design for Learning principles, which facilitate learning for all students (Lancaster, 2008).

Facilitating Student CreationsMost college students have experience
creating and sharing content on social networking sites but those skills do not automatically transfer to academic settings (Grosseck, Bran, & Tiru, 2011).
Content instructors cannot be expected to be omniscient technologists and can turn to knowledge brokers, who have specialized expertise, for help (Rosen, 2011).

Facilitating Student CreationsLeeward CC’s Educational Media
Center Staff provided substantial assistance to me and my students.Google Sites template created for
students to copy and populateEducational Technologist Rachael
Inake led a hands-on introduction to using Google Sites in a computer classroom.

Facilitating Student CreationsRachael also created a YouTube video that
students could use for later reference.

Student responses were positive.Response Survey results (n = 23)
I liked having options for submitting my project 91.3%
Choosing my own topic probably motivated me to work harder on the project than I otherwise might have with an assigned topic.
65.2%
In working on the project, I could better see how topics covered in class are used in the statistical process.
73.9%
Having the option to make a video, web site, or some other format other than a paper got me to think more about what I was doing and how I would present it.
78.2%
The presentation and screencast tutorial by Rachael Inake led me to create, or at least consider creating, a web site for my project submission.
65.2%

Web 2.0 project scores increased over prior semesters’ printed submissions.
