Hi Bianca, The two recent and very good sources you could consider to use in teaching (bio)statistics are:
https://moderndive.com<https://moderndive.com/> by Chester Ismay and Albert Y. Kim https://www.huber.embl.de/msmb/index.html Modern Statistics for Modern Biology by Susan Holmes and Wolfgang Huber Both use simulations and models to explain statistical concepts and their applications. The former is based on tidyverse, the latter is more biological, both are open.

They are planning to develop their material on using SPSS, and I am trying to convince them to rather use R/RStudio. They are reluctant to switch, because (1) they have been using SPSS quite some time, (2) SPSS is "easier" than R, and (3) they don't seem to think that funding might become a problem in future. I came across the "Data Carpentry for Biologists" material in the discuss list http://datacarpentry.org/semester-biology/ and I'm looking for something similar specifically for Biostatistics/Biomedical statistics. Any resources or referrals will be greatly appreciated!
