Microlearning is a way of delivering education in small learning units, typically allowing students to control their own learning, at their own pace. This self-contained lesson includes interactive links, activities, and a knowledge check quiz. Our microlearning lessons give you unlimited options so that you can choose how you want to use them, whether you decide to include them as part of your teaching or to use them independently.

Content

This lesson is part of the Descriptive Statistics chapter, which makes up the Introductory Statistics course. All content is rigorously peer-reviewed by educators.

This lesson contains the following:

• Introduction to Descriptive Statistics
• Skewness and the Mean, Median, and Mode
• Summary
• Knowledge Check 

Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students should be able to: 

• Recognize, describe, and calculate the measures of the center of data: the mean, median, and mode.

There are many ways to use microlearning, either before, during, or after class. Here are just a few ideas:

• Use it as homework.
• Use it as a personalized learning path: provide a selection of microlearning topics and let students choose 2 or 3.
• Use it before class, to gauge how prepared students are.
• Use it in class if devices are available.
• Use it collaboratively, either online or in class as group work.
• Use as a “wake up tool” to let students explore something on their own (and give yourself a break; you can even watch their scores coming in to the LMS!)
