What makes StatCenter and Psych 3000 Online stand out from online course that are based primarily on the exchange of email and threaded discussion forums is the sophisticated teaching design of the interactive online software (Java applets). Register Here
Award-winning teacher, Tom Malloy, based on 30 years of teaching statistics, has designed the applet interactivity course to teach students difficult statistical concepts in elegant and engaging ways that get results. Among his many teaching awards Tom Malloy was selected as the best teacher in Utah in 1993 by the Carnegie Foundation.
A guiding design principle in the design of Psychology 3000 Statistics is the use of a rich set of "value-added" features. What do we mean by that? Legitimate critiques of online education point out that value is lost when the classroom, face-to-face interaction with a teacher is minimized or eliminated. It is therefore important that online education make up for this lost value with software which adds value that a teacher cannot provide. Simply using computers to teach the same information in the same way as in the classroom but without the human interaction is generally assumed to degrade rather than improve education. The "value-lost" degradation of teaching and learning in online education is not inevitable. For example, research simulation programs can give students repeated experiences with making research design and data analysis decisions. Such multiple experiences are very difficult to accomplish in a lecture or a discussion, even in a one-to-one tutorial. Research simulations (while less enriched than independent study in a faculty's research lab) adds value by teaching statistical and research concepts in ways that normal classroom interaction cannot easily accomplish.
Full, printable online lectures. Psychology 3000 Online makes a full set of online lectures for the entire class available to students online. These lectures can be read online or printed out for free. As a service for those who don't want to spend time downloading and printing the lectures, already-bound, photocopied packets of the lectures are available for purchase with no royalty or publication charges. They cost simply what it takes to photocopy and mail the lectures. For more information Click Here
