"IT" or "Internet Technology" is a rising star in distance education. With the rapid development of new technologies, educators around the world have more tools and greater out-reaching power than ever before. What are IT education and its associated technology? How can statistics education benefit from it? How do you teach a statistics course on-line and what are the unique advantages and disadvantages of teaching statistics through the net? This paper summarizes my experiences designing and teaching an elementary statistics web course and gives my answers to some of the previous questions. I will in this paper present the way the course was taught and how specifically some of the course content was delivered using the "WebCT"(WebCT) software. Additionally some pedagogical recommendations will be made.
