A project of the International Association of Statistics Education (IASE). After a first phase of the project led by the outstanding work of Carol Blumberg, where the emphasis was in the development of a series of webpages that will provide users throughout the world with a data bank of international statistical literacy resources for all audiences and in several languages, ISLP is now moving one step ahead. Besides continuing collecting web-based statistical literacy resources from all over the world, ISLP now actively organizes and promotes statistical literacy activities throughout the world and gets actively involved in other worlwide projects. The webpage is a forum where everyone can edit and enter their statistics literacy resources and participate in discussions.
