UK Conference on Teaching Statistics

Thank you @ukcots.bsky.social for putting on such a great conference earlier this week in Glasgow. There were many inspiring ideas that I want to think about incorporating into my own statistics teaching.

Next step, get started on making quarto books/sites and hosting them on GitHub…

Thank you to everyone who attended and presented at #UKCOTS2025!

Please look out for our feedback form email to inform future additions of the conference.

Safe travels to everyone making their way home from Glasgow!

And finally, we had a range of workshops from active learning, using large lectures, using gen AI to create Shiny apps, and a Timberlake demonstration of Stata19.

#UKCOTS2025

We had a range of talks from quantcrit, teaching data science, exploring student profiles, to reflecting on LLMs in teaching statistics.

For a summary of day one, we had three speakers for our plenary session on AI and critical thinking in statistics education.

Welcome to day two of #UKCOTS2025!

#UKCOTS2025 is underway! Had great fun presenting this morning about my experimental design “game”. Thank you so much to @ukcots.bsky.social for such a friendly conference! Slides —> bit.ly/cmjt_experiment & the game —> statbiscuit-tomato-trials.netlify.app

At #UKCOTS2025, we have a stand from our sponsors Timberlake Consultants with a range of merch.

And finally, a welcome to #UKCOTS2025 and an invitation from Prof Helen MacGillivray to attend iCOTS 12 in Brisbane, Australia next year.

Including a lovely, hilarious recorded welcome by Sir David Spiegelhalter!
