Abstract:
Computer scientists have been designing and experimenting with interactive, graphical interfaces for several years now. Recently, educational technologists have begun to take advantage of these advances. With funding from the Applications of Advanced Technologies program in the Division of Science and Engineering Education at the National Science Foundation of group of researchers at BBN are designing and developing interactive, graphical mini-laboratories to help students develop a qualitative understanding of statistics. These Macintosh-based mini-labs allow students to explore statistical concepts and processes by manipulating graphical objects.
The CAUSE Research Group is supported in part by a member initiative grant from the American Statistical Association’s Section on Statistics and Data Science Education
