As part of the Flexible Learning Introductory Statistics project, we created StatSpace, an online repository for teaching and learning resources in introductory statistics. StatSpace will be a platform for collaboration in teaching introductory statistics, for sharing teaching resources, experiences, and best practices. Currently, StatSpace contains a suite of resources for teaching statistics across various disciplines; these resources were developed by a team of UBC statistics instructors from the Faculties of Science, Arts, and Medicine. We recently launched a new version of the website, with an improved user interface, and commenting, rating, and search functionalities. 

In this session, we will talk about the lessons learned from creating StatSpace, including the planning, collaboration, and publicity that go into a project like this. We hope to show how these lessons can apply to similar projects undertaken by other departments, and to provide a model for collaborative projects undertaken between departments and faculties. Participants will consider how they might use a repository in their own department.
