Abstract: 

The goal of this paper is to report on the development of a dynamic computer-based simulation of the concept of statistical power and the misconceptions students have regarding this concept. The paper will include three sections briefly summarized below: (1) considerations in constructing a dynamic computer-based simulation for statistical instruction; (2) discerning misconceptions and addressing their remediation and (3) plans for future development.
