The factors for enhancing student engagement frequently identified are active and problem-based learning as well as real-life experience relevant to students' interests. The importance of using real data in teaching statistics has been repeatedly emphasized and its importance is growing. However, data collection, as part of a student project, faces serious practical problems. It is time-consuming, may require access to equipment, or raise ethical issues.
