ActivStats

ActivStats is an innovative multimedia education product that teaches introductory college-level statistics and the use of our Data Desk data exploration package. ActivStats was designed and authored by Paul Velleman, and reflects modern research into how people learn and specifically how people learn statistics. Based on MediaDX, it's an interactive mix of narrative, video, sound, and animation that encourages students to work at their own speed and, along the way, explore the concepts and skills that particularly interest them. Once the user has worked through the software, it remains a lively reference resource. The success of the original ActivStats has prompted the cooperative development of a number of related statistics courses that link up to other statistical analysis tools.
