Presenters will demonstrate the use of their software to help students learn and engage with core concepts in statistics and data analysis ranging from introductory statistics to analytics procedures. MyStatLab software helps to manage and individualize the learning and evaluation process through several capabilities such as auto-graded Excel based exercises.  JMP examples will include simulations to demonstrate foundational topics such as the sampling distribution of the mean and outlier influence to how interactivity of a visualization can illuminate the output of unsupervised machine learning algorithms for clustering, and how dynamic and responsive graphics can be used to teach core design principles in effective data visualization.
