The use of digital components in an undergraduate statistics course

Abstract

In a research project, the Economic and Social Statistics Department of Trier University was able to get an insight into the use of screencasts and e-tutorials in an undergraduate statistics course. The empirical data show that students make ample use of the flexibility those tools offer. We also see that active exercises are very important in terms of exam preparation. The participation rates and the tenacity in working exercise problems can be improved. A natural next step would be the implementation of adaptive e-learning scenarios.
