I am trying to work out how to teach statistics to undergraduates in life-science disciplines such as Biology and Psychology. I decided to use simple Python programming to show how resampling works, and therefore, how to do simple statistical tests. Here is my first shot at a pilot course: https://matthew-brett.github.io/les-pilot

Now I am looking for other people trying to do similar things. Kendrick Kay runs a graduate course in University of Minnesota that teaches both Matlab and statistics:

http://www.cmrr.umn.edu/~kendrick/statsmatlab/

Quoting from the course front page:

We will focus on nonparametric and computational approaches to statistical problems, as opposed to classical statistical approaches involving parametric assumptions and analytic solutions. This course is intended for graduate students or postdocs who would like to gain a better understanding of statistical principles and/or learn how to program in MATLAB.

I believe Kendrick started teaching this course in Stanford:

then at Washington University in St Louis:
