On-line Journals

The Journal of Statistics Education (JSE) publishes refereed articles, datasets, reviews, and tips related to all aspects of teaching statistics at the postsecondary level. JSE has been available electronically since its founding in 1993.

The Web Guide to Statistical Journals ,maintiained by Gordon Smythe at University of Queensland, contains links to loads of stat journals (not just stat education).

Chance News - biweekly references to statistical issues in current news media.
Statistical Education Section - of the American Statistical Association.
CTI Centre for Teaching Statistics - at the University of Glasgow.
International Study Group for Research on Learning Probability and Statistics.

E-Mail Discussion Lists

One of the first electronic discussion lists devoted to teaching issues was the Edstat-l list founded at North Carolina State University. To subscribe send the message

subscribe edstat-l Your Name

to listserv@jse.stat.ncsu.edu. You may also participate through UseNet News at sci.stat.edu. Archives of Edstat-l (and several other discussion lists) are maintained by the Journal of Statistics Education Information Service.

A number of other e-mail discussion lists are maintained for specific countries (e.g. Australia, Brazil, Italy, New Zealand), statistical topics (e.g. Bayesian methods, experimental design, time series analysis), subject areas (e.g. biometry, geography, econometrics), and (many) software packages (e.g. Minitab, SPSS, SAS). An excellent resource here is Mike Fuller's List of Statistical Lists which contains information on a host of discussion lists.
