"Low Tech, Low Cost, Low Time, High Payoff Activities" with André Michelle Lubecke, Lander University 2:00 to 2:30 pm Eastern time, March 24 th , 2014 (Note special time) Abstract :  A few inexpensive items have ‘inspired’ a number of classroom experiences that have students discussing experimental design issues and/or generating data in relatively fast and fun ways. This webinar will present a few activities that are often cited as favorites by students taking a statistics course as part of their General Education curriculum. Some possible extensions/variations that could be used in other types of courses will also be discussed. These activities use only an inexpensive set of wooden farm animal puzzles, dice, cards, and a stopwatch   To Register for this webinar please visit https://www.causeweb.org/webinar/activity/2015-03/   also, the presentation slides are posted if you would like to print them.     Logistics : The webinar will be conducted using the GoToWebinar software platform.
