USING STATISTICS IN ONLINE AND HYBRID STATISTICS COURSES TO IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING
Overview
Low stakes assessments HW with help Progress Checks/Quiz next step without help aids;
multiple attempts and pooling to allow for students to use this as formative AND summative assessment.
Using Item Analysis (IA) to improve student learning
Utilize statistics from IA to lead discussions in class or online discussion boards
Mean/median of exam scores Email by Criteria; use assignment scores to reach
those struggling the most
Low Stakes Assessment
Heartland has integrated this philosophy into developmental math and statistics courses using MLP features
Unlimited attempts on homework and progress checks (quizzes) with stop-gap measures for timely intervention to decrease frustration
Utilize the Study Plan to improve scores This allows both formative and summative
assessment to occur with the same assessment instrument
MLP Homework and Quizzes

Item Analysis (Homework View) Utilize IA in homework to discover
weaknesses or gaps in learning Multiple attempts Skipping questions Missed questions How to utilize this information
Online or in class discussions More examples Including those topics in a subsequent
homework assignment
Example of using IA in Homework Look at 4.3 homework in Kim’s current statistics
course. Statistics Course MSL Instructors Tools MML Gradebook Select ‘Homework’ Click on the IA icon below the assignment you

Item Analysis (Quiz View)
Recall students do not have the “help aides” available for quizzes
A maximum number of attempts may be set by the instructor

Item Analysis (Test View)
Tests cover more than quizzes Only one attempt Check to see if items missed on quiz
were missed on exams (if exams are given in MLP)
View mean and median of exam scores
Example of using IA in Tests
Look at Exam 1 in Kim’s current statistics course. Statistics Course MSL Instructors Tools MML Gradebook Select ‘Tests’ or if already in Gradebook, use
dropdown to select ‘Tests’ Click on the IA icon below the assignment you wish
