2007
- Dec. 19. 2007, SOCR was added as a Facebook Application and made available as a tool/plug-in to all FaceBook Users. To add the SOCR App to your Facebook page follow these steps:
- Dec. 07, 2007, Dr. Dinov was interviewed and quoted in An article in the Wall Street Journal about a paper by Leif Nelson (NYU) and Joseph Simmons (Yale) entitled Moniker Maladies: When Names Sabotage Success. In this article the authors present experimental designs and data to support hypotheses that unconscious behaviour can insidiously undermine conscious pursuits.
- Sept. 24, 2007: The National Science Foundation (NSF) extended the funding for the UCLA Statistics Online Computational Resource (SOCR) for another 4 years (2007-2011). This is a great accomplishment for the SOCR team and recognition of the SOCR Resource achievements since 2002. In the next 4 years, SOCR will design, test, validate, and disseminate 1) tools (applets, demos, GUI interfaces), 2) educational materials (activities, class notes, tutorials), and 3) resources (Statistics Online Computational Resource Wiki, consulting, workshops, etc.) More information is available online.
- Aug. 22-29, 2007: SOCR sampling and simulation resources are going to be presented as an invited talk (Nicolas Christou) at the 2007 International Statistics Institute meeting (ISI), Lisbon, Portugal, (PDF Slides)
- Aug. 08-10, 2007: Nicolas Christou is invited to present the SOCR Central Limit Theorem Applet and hands-on activity at the 2007 Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching Conference, MERLOT, New Orleans, LA. (Talk PDF, Talk PPT)
- Aug. 06-08, 2007: SOCR/CAUSE Workshop at UCLA
- Aug. 01, 2007: JSM - Nicolas Christou will present Enhancing the Teaching of Statistics with Technology Using the Statistics Online Computational Resource (SOCR) in Session 466, at 2:00 PM at the Joint Statistical Meetings in Salt Lake City, Utah, July 29-August 2, 2007 (Abstract #309845, PDF).
