Statistics (Online)
Aisha Arroyo

Professor Arroyo’s media and real-life scenarios make this online course relevant to student’s today. The guided videos use Mayer’s principles of multimedia; chunking content, personalization, voice, and the modality principle (students learn better with graphics and narration together). Discussion posts and problem sets allow students to learn from each other. Formative assessment and the final project require students to communicate, analyze, and interpret statistical data through written, oral, and visual methods, making this an authentic assessment.
