Getting students to attend large-group teaching sessions and keeping them engaged throughout is a particular challenge. To achieve these goals for introductory Pathology courses for Medical Science and Exercise Physiology students (PATH2201/2202), we introduced a blended approach to learning, with overview lectures supported by online modules. We also developed large-group feedback/integration sessions which featured in-class questions to which students could respond using mobile devices.

Stats Central at UNSW Sydney is conducting a two day short course, Introductory Statisitcs for Researchers, in April 2018. Aimed at research workers, the course provides an overview of statistical design and analysis methods.
It has become a cliché to say the internet has changed sex, and it is certainly an understatement. As digital technologies have opened up new possibilities for finding sex and love, so too are they demanding new ways of thinking about how we do research. While presenting new conceptual and methodological challenges, the textual, archival and public nature of online spaces have actually enhanced our ability to research sex.
R is widely used and extremely powerful statistical software. This course assumes that you have never used R before. You will learn how to obtain and install R, which is open-source software, and RStudio, which is a versatile, user-friendly interface for using R.
It is very useful to do this course before our introductory statistics course, Introductory Statistics for Researchers.
