Need more engagement in your Zoom class? I just talked about the prisoner's dilemma in my 200-person social psych class and did a real life simulation for pts. It was mayhem in the chat! Don't worry they get 1 more chance on Fri. Some grassroots organizers have set up a GroupMe.

Anyone up for creating short (less than 10 min) videos of you explaining an intro stat finding from your research? Descriptives, correlation, z-test, t-tests, chi2? I can make a public page for us to post them all as a shared resource for teachers if anyone can donate their time.
