  1. Melanie Shores, The University of Alabama at Birmingham, United States

Abstract: Teaching online is a struggle for many students but when you add math to the equation it seems to become even more difficult. More specifically, teaching statistics online is a daily challenge for most students. Therefore, it is important to explore best practices for teaching statistics online in higher education using Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Fundamentally, UDL provides the student with multiple means of accessing the course based on presentation, action and expression, and engagement and interaction.
