I am pleased to announce new websites for both the IASE and the ISLP
which have been developed over the last six months. The new site for
the IASE is http://iase-web.org and the new site for the ISLP is
http://iase-web.org/islp .  Please view both of these new sites.

We wish to encourage current IASE members to log in to the Member Area
of the new IASE site and to check details of their profiles, many of
which are out-of-date. In particular we would like you to check your
"Department" and "Affiliation", as well as perhaps providing a
"Biography" which could be just a couple of lines to indicate what
your work entails currently. It is possible that in transferring data
from the old site to the new site some characters in names or
addresses have been corrupted, so please correct these if appropriate.

The new sites have been developed by John Shanks at the University of
Otago. John's work is well known to members of IASE as he developed
the ICOTS7 and 8 sites as well as the Round Table in the Philippines
in 2012 and he is web master for ICOTS9.

Now for some history and a thank you. IASE thanks the Department of
Statistics at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, who hosted the
previous IASE site entirely free of charge for 10 years and Chris Wild
in particular who built and maintained the site starting from very
small beginnings. A rich repository of records has been established
and all people involved in statistics education in most countries of
the world have been the beneficiaries. By 2012 the site has hosted
2,500 papers on statistics education and other resources. In 2012, its
last year of operation, the Auckland IASE publications page was viewed
over 135,000 times. The most viewed resource was the 2005 PhD
dissertation of Mari Murtonen which was viewed nearly 20,000 times.
This was followed by Lennart Radeâs 1990 ICOTS 3 paper âStatistics
and the Computerâ and Joan Garfieldâs 1995 Int. Stat. Review paper
âHow students learn statisticsâ both with over 15,000 views, and
Felicity Boydâs 2002 PhD dissertation âMethods of Learning in
Statistical Education: Design and analysis of a randomized trialâ
with over 10,000 views.

IASE and the entire statistics education movement thank Chris for his
dedicated work which has had huge impact on the development of
statistics and training in statistics internationally.

This email has been sent to all people who have ever been members of
IASE in the hope that if your membership has lapsed you will rejoin
the Association and keep up to date with a rapidly changing area.
