Conduct and Analyze a Randomized Experiment in 5 Minutes

childers

Classroom Stats (www.classroomstats.com) is a free, fast, fun way to engage students in the classroom with live data collection and analysis. Classroom Stats has a free mobile data collection application for students (in the iOS and Android stores) and a web-based portal for setup and analysis (descriptive and inferential statistics) for instructors. In a virtual teaching environment, Classroom Stats is an easy way to get students involved. In less than 5 minutes, you can conduct a randomized comparative experiment, and analyze the results live using traditional inferential methods or simulation-based methods. You can also collect survey data and data perfect for linear regression. We made Classroom Stats (www.classroomstats.com) out of a desire to make class more fun and interactive, with the added bonus of making statistics concepts stick by integrating real data with a context and purpose, fostering active learning, and using technology to explore concepts and analyze data (these are recommendations from the ASA’s GAISE report).

Here is a quick YouTube video showing how easy it is to conduct a randomized comparative experiment.

We hope that you try the new features in the spring semester and would love any feedback, comments, or suggestions you have.

Hi Adam,

This looks super helpful and easy to use -- thank you for developing and sharing this resource!
I've made your YouTube video link into an embedded video to make it easier for others to explore. :)

Cheers,
David
