Flipped Learning Online Community

by Mocko,Megan E

Hi everyone! Over the summer, several statistics educators formed a group to meet online and discuss flipped learning in statistics classrooms. Initially, we began as a reading group for Robert Talbert's "Flipped Learning" book. Still, since then, we have continued to meet and have general discussions, lesson planning support, and troubleshooting tips around issues of flipped learning. There was interest in continuing the conversation into the Fall. Please complete this survey<https://forms.gle/L1RPFpqNbFZgnJ1W6> if you are interested in joining the flipped learning community. In addition to completing the survey below about the online discussion group, you are also welcome to join the #flipped-learning channel on the CAUSEweb slack page: https://www.causeweb.org/slack Thank you!

The CAUSE Cartoon Caption Contest for August is now taking entries!

by Taylor, Kati

The Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education is happy to announce our 75th Cartoon Caption Contest! Each month a cartoon, drawn by British cartoonist John Landers, is posted for you and your students to suggest statistical captions (cartoons are posted at the beginning of the month and submissions are due at the end of the month).   The caption contest is offered as a fun way to get your students thinking independently about statistical concepts. The next cartoon and the entry rules for the contest ending August 31 are at   https://www.causeweb.org/cause/caption-contest/august/2022/submissions The best submission will be posted on CAUSEweb and the winner(s) will receive their choice of a coffee mug or t-shirt imprinted with the final cartoon. Enjoy. If you’d like to help us learn what the community feels makes a good cartoon caption, please go to https://CAUSEweb.org/caption-experiment<https://causeweb.org/caption-experiment> and answer the questions you are asked about the cartoons you see. Participation is voluntary, confidential, and quick. If you’d like to try your hand at creating your own statistics cartoon or song or video or poem, or other fun item, you should enter CAUSE’s A-mu-sing contest (see https://www.causeweb.org/cause/a-mu-sing/2023/rules). [A picture containing text, queen Description automatically generated] July Results:   The July caption contest cartoon is shown here. The judges found the winning caption to be “The art of data visualization," written by John Montagu, a student at University of Colorado, Boulder. John’s simple caption can be a vehicle to discuss how finding a good data visualization to tell the story of a study’s results is an art – even if it must be combined with the science of statistics to give an appropriate impression. An honorable mention this month goes to Jim Alloway from EMSQ Associates for his caption, “While each plot was from a different perspective, it was the aggregation of the plots that told the whole story.” Jim’s caption reinforces the idea that it may take several graphs to give a full picture of a data set. Thanks to everyone who submitted a caption and congratulations to our winners!
