SOCR Project - SOCR Wiki Educational Materials Expansion Project
Project Goal
To expand the existent SOCR Activities with new modular or meta hands-on exercises and activities that utilize the available SOCR tools.
Background
The SOCR resource consists of a number of java applets, computational library and educational materials. As part of our commitment to modernize probability and statistics education using IT-tools we design, test, validate and disseminate a number of materials and activities that illustrate the power of various statistical techniques, experimental processes and interactive Java applets.
Project specs
This project will involve designing new educational materials for IT-based probability, statistics and math education. I will developed 30+ interactive activities that demonstrate the utilization of www.SOCR.ucla.edu computational applets for improving student motivation, building intuition and enhancing knowledge retention. In this project, we will be designing new interactive educational materials and resources for blending IT-tools in the regular statistics education curriculum. Examples of such tools and materials are included in the SOCR EduMaterials. We need to expand the current collection of activities and provide activities for most of the SOCR Distributions, Experiments, Games, Analyses, Charts and Modelers, as well as design new meta-activities that utilize several of these utilities (e.g., Power Transform, EM Mixture Modeling, Law of Large Numbers).
