Abstract
What recourse exists when the teaching of Statistics by visual means is not part of the equation? This case study of a team from the University of Coimbra – one teacher, two members of the Media Production Center and a visually impaired student – took up the challenge of teaching a full semester in Statistics in such a way that all students would experience and comprehend fundamental concepts ranging from summarizing data numerically and graphically to making decisions in Statistics through understanding centrality, dispersion and hypothesis testing. A very pragmatic non-visual orientation required class planning to emphasize on contents received aurally or read in Braille, with activities and challenges designed to engage all students in a variety of formats. Materials used in class will be presented in which Statistical Thinking is explored using visual, aural and tactile senses. Future research opportunities will be discussed.
