AMATYC/ASA Web-Based Distance Learning Program

The American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) and the American Statistical Association (ASA) have developed a web-based distance learning program to complement the AMATYC Traveling Statistics Workshops sponsored by CAUSE. These webinars will differ from the CAUSE webinars in that they will be longer, one to two hours, and involve hands-on activities with interaction between the presenter and participants.

The first webinar in this series is Emphasizing Conceptual Understanding in Statistics to be presented by Bob delMas of the University of Minnesota on February 26, 2009 at 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Although targeted to instructors at two-year colleges, this webinar should also be of interest to university faculty and AP statistics teachers. Departments are encouraged to have multiple participants view a single connection (for example, by projecting the course in a conference room). For more information and to register, visit the ASA web site at: www.amstat.org/education/amatyc_asa

CAUSE can now accept tax-deductible contributions
CAUSE has established a development account at The Ohio State University to allow donors to provide tax-deductible donations by credit card through a secure connection. You might even multiply the effectiveness of your contribution if you work for a company that provides matching for charitable donations (there are hundreds of companies that match donations to Ohio State funds). The CAUSE Support Fund will be used for pilot projects that further our mission of advancing resources, professional development, outreach, and research in statistics education.
