Abstract:
The paper reflects on the growing demand for statistics training, in permanent education in general, and in just-in-time training with direct applicability in particular. It reports on work in short-course and in in-company training in statistics. Special attention is given to two cases, on the one hand a self-study course for a government department, on the other hand a system of highly interactive applets for visualization of statistical concepts related to the linear model.
