Nearly sixty videos of varying lengths, in a narrated-slideshow format, with detailed tables of contents. First put online in 2012 and with correspondingly low video resolution.
A suite of twenty professionally-produced videos using real-world examples to explain statistical concepts to students in social sciences. They vary in length from ten to 25 minutes, are shot at various locations around the world and use a combination of real-world settings, interviews, and worked examples with animation. Interviewees include Nobel laureate Gary Becker, the then Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Maria Miller, Jesper Roine of the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics, staff of the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless, a fund manager, and a human rights activist.
