Thank you @ukcots.bsky.social for putting on such a great conference earlier this week in Glasgow. There were many inspiring ideas that I want to think about incorporating into my own statistics teaching. Next step, get started on making quarto books/sites and hosting them on GitHub…

Thank you to everyone who attended and presented at #UKCOTS2025! Please look out for our feedback form email to inform future additions of the conference. Safe travels to everyone making their way home from Glasgow!

And finally, we had a range of workshops from active learning, using large lectures, using gen AI to create Shiny apps, and a Timberlake demonstration of Stata19. #UKCOTS2025

We had a range of talks from quantcrit, teaching data science, exploring student profiles, to reflecting on LLMs in teaching statistics. #UKCOTS2025

For a summary of day one, we had three speakers for our plenary session on AI and critical thinking in statistics education.

Welcome to day two of #UKCOTS2025!
