LearnSTAT OnDemand webinars are available to everyone, but ASA members receive a $25 discount. When purchasing access to one of the presentations, have your membership ID and the LearnSTAT OnDemand member code handy. The current member code can be found in the Members Only section of the ASA website under “Partner Discounts and Special Offers.” Once you complete the transaction, an email will be sent with information about how to view the presentation.

The ASA recently launched LearnSTAT OnDemand, a program that offers access to recorded webinars on an on-demand, pay-per-view basis. The recorded webinars are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year long.

LearnSTAT OnDemand currently has 13 offerings, including webinars from the Biopharmaceutical, Survey Research Methods, and Quality and Productivity sections and a webinar on statistical education developed in conjunction with the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges. Each recorded webinar is roughly two hours in length and features top statisticians discussing their areas of expertise.

New webinars will be added two to three months after they are presented live, continuously increasing the number of recorded webinars available and creating a virtual library that is accessible at any time in any corner of the world.

Once a recorded webinar is purchased, the viewer will have access to it four times. Navigating to and from the webinar recording constitutes one access period. During each access period, the viewer may pause, rewind, or forward the recording.

For added cost-effectiveness, a group can gather in a room equipped with a projector, screen, and computer with speakers to view the presentation together. This is ideal for the following:

• Adding an educational component to chapter meetings
• Showing a presentation to students
• Watching a webinar at the next departmental meeting

LearnSTAT OnDemand offerings are listed under the Continuing Education tab, along with descriptions of the webinars and presenter biographies. Questions about or suggestions for LearnSTAT OnDemand can be addressed to Rick Peterson, ASA education programs associate, at rick@amstat.org.
