Abstract

With the diversity in the backgrounds of students currently entering universities, many students lack the preparedness to undertake studies that include quantitative content. At the same time, many of these students are required to enrol in an introductory statistics course at some stage during their undergraduate program of study. This, along with an associated prevalence of statistics anxiety, means that
many students require additional assistance to progress and stay engaged. A variety of support mechanisms may need to be enacted to assist students to succeed. This paper introduces and discusses the development of StatsCasts:
short, focused screencasts on topics students have struggled with in the past, for anywhere, anytime support in learning statistical concepts. An evaluation of the
pilot stage of a larger research project is presented, to show how students at one of the three collaborating universities perceive these multi-media support resources, and to what level students access them. Initial findings indicate that most students found the StatsCasts beneficial to their learning and understanding of the relevant concepts.
