Instructors needed for experimental testing of interactive song pedagogy
Project SMILES (Student-Made Interactive Learning with Educational Songs) is looking for spring semester field testers of the interactive songs we have developed in our NSF project for statistical literacy and reasoning in the introductory course (for a 6-minute tour/demo, see
https://www.causeweb.org/voices/2017/poster/8). This will involve a randomized controlled experiment amongst the students in your course, where some students will take part in a few activities using interactive songs while others will complete other activities on the same topics. These online activities take approximately 5-10 minutes per learning objective addressed. All students will complete one multiple choice assessment item per objective for the songs chosen, which will involve a real-world context and will be embedded in course exams. Instructors taking part will receive a consulting fee for their efforts. For more details, please contact John Weber at
