sigma: Statistics special interest group

Overview

The sigma-Network for excellence in mathematics and statistics support established a Special Interest Group (SIG) in Statistics Support in 2016 which aims to share expertise, good practice and resources for those involved in teaching or supporting statistics in Higher Education. The chairs of the committee can be contacted at:
Alun Owen (Coventry University) Email: aa5845@coventry.ac.uk
Ellen Marshall (Sheffield Hallam University) Email: ellen.marshall@shu.ac.uk

Events

The SIG usually holds events which primarily offer training on the additional skills or knowledge needed to provide project based statistics support in maths support centres. Materials used at the events and additional associated resources are usually available. The next event 'Innovations in teaching and supporting statistics' will be held at Sheffield Hallam University on January 16th 2020. Events and details are advertised through the sigma network Events pages and the mailing list .

Resources

As well as the self-help resources on many statistical techniques using SPSS, R, SAS and Jamovi, the stats sig has created a number of resources for training and helping statistics tutors. Click here for a full list with links to specific resources.
