Description¶
Lumen Learning's online statistics courseware replaces or supplements textbooks with segmented multimedia content, interactive practice, study supports, and instructor-facing engagement and intervention tools.
Components¶
- Lumen One Introduction to Statistics courseware: Lumen One Introduction to Statistics is an online courseware product designed to replace traditional textbooks in gateway statistics courses. Content is "provided online as short segments of text with extensive graphics and video interspersed with interactive exercises." It includes student-facing components (Readiness Checks, Study Plans, Learn It text, Apply It activities, Fresh Take videos) and instructor-facing supports (a Faculty Engagement Center, automated messages, time-sensitive intervention flags, question banks). The courseware embeds diverse identities and real-world statistics applications, and automatically executes 13 of 27 surveyed EBT practices. (Barbara Means et al. (2026))
- Online interactive introductory statistics textbook implementing the practicing connections framework: The article's design artifact is an online interactive textbook for introductory statistics developed by the authors, in which the framework's connection types and principles are instantiated. The book is organized around the practice of data analysis (explore variation, model variation, evaluate and compare models), three core concepts, and five key representations, with each page using a "struggle first" pedagogy asking students to answer questions before the relevant information is presented. R is interleaved throughout to reduce extraneous load and free resources for reflecting on connections. (Fries et al. (2020))
Claims¶
- The number of evidence-based teaching practices enacted in courseware-using statistics classes is strongly associated with class-level affective engagement (r = 0.61). [+W]
- EBT practice enactment is positively associated with residualized course grades (r = 0.316). [+W]
- EBT practice enactment is positively associated with residualized student learning on the BASIC assessment (r = 0.315). [+W]
- Meeting four or more implementation fidelity criteria is associated with course grades about 0.24 points higher than expected, a 0.58 grade-point swing versus meeting only two criteria. [+W]
- Instructors in their second or subsequent term using Lumen One made greater use of six of seven instructor-facing courseware components than first-term users. [+W]
- Three fidelity components—completing Apply It problems, following up on Time-Sensitive Interventions, and having Automated Messages on—differentiate classes with better-vs-poorer-than-expected grades. [+W]
