The Electronic Conference On Teaching Statistics (eCOTS) took place online from May 19th through the 23rd, 2014. The eCOTS 2014 themes were: "Teaching from Big Data", "The Impact of the Common Core", and "Bridging the Disciplines". The conference was hosted by the Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education (CAUSE). eCOTS focuses on undergraduate-level statistics education (including AP Statistics), with a target audience of statistics teachers. eCOTS seeks to provide a virtual meeting space for educators to share ideas, teaching methods, and research results, and it is hoped that eCOTS will be a forum where statistics educators from around the world can network and connect as they learn how to incorporate new ideas, methods, and resources into their existing courses or programs. The registration fee for attending eCOTS will be $25. This is the total cost to attend as many sessions as you would like including any of the six 2-hour workshops being presented by NSF supported statistics education projects!
- Michelle Everson served as chair of the eCOTS 2014 Program Committee.
- Other members of the committee included Leigh Harrell Williams, Megan Mocko, Georgette Nicolaides, Dennis Pearl, and Bethany White.
