The Claremont Colleges' "Web Interface for Statistics Education" seeks to expand teaching resources offered through Introductory Statistics courses, especially in the social sciences. This project aims to develop an on-line teaching tool to take advantage of the unique hypertextual and presentational benefits of the World Wide Web (WWW). This teaching tool's primary application is as a supplement to traditional teaching materials, addressing specific topics that instructors have difficulty in presenting using traditional classroom technologies. The tool serves to promote self-paced learning and to provide a means for advanced students to review concepts. Their goal is to provide easy entry to internet resources that can be used in support of statistics education and applications. The site includes the following: 1) interactive statistics tutorials, 2) answers to questions, and 3) a jump-off point for connecting to other resources in statistics on the Internet. Instructors will be able to utilize the WWW presentation in conjunction with their classes: a) to supplement their text assignments. and b) to provide common examples and practice problems, where students can receive immediate feedback. Instructors can ask students to use the pages as a supplement for the textbook and classroom, or they can assign particular topics and questions for the students as homework. This has been added to Statistics Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
