    • Fun, engaging pedagogies are called for (e.g., in the American Statistical Association’s GAISE Reports), but does research support this? Drawing from quantitative and qualitative studies (including our March 2013 Journal of Statistics Education paper and newer NSF-funded work), we discuss fun modalities, motivations, hesitations, resources, and emerging evidence of effectiveness.
