So begins Day 1 of the OER project.

 

Nov 19. 

Did a perusal of different searching sites (freelearning, thanks Scott) and OER commons and searched for statistics, quantitative methods in education, statistics for education.

 

Variety of resources, a bit over and underwhelming—some clicks lead me to some open but incomplete pages of textbooks (O’Reilly?).   Collaborative statistics, a module found via connexions via freelearning looked promising, especially in its approach, and the fact that its target audience is outside of math or engineering. After this initial search I’d almost really like some short video lectures or demos to supplement all the text I seem to be finding.

 

Realized since I can’t find a course called statistics for education research, I need to find a syllabus that will tell me what I need to learn.  Then maybe I can pull something together. 

Next steps:  google a course outline or syllabus.

 

Time spent: Approx 15 min.
