Web Interface for Statistics Education

Dale Berger’s statistics website Web Interface for Statistics Education WISE was selected as a winner of the MERLOT Award for Exemplary Online Learning Resources, which recognizes and promotes outstanding online resources designed to enhance teaching and learning. (1)

WISE consists of a sequence of interactive tutorials on key statistical concepts, including:


 * sampling distributions (2)
 * the central limit theorem (3)
 * hypothesis testing (4)
 * statistical power (5)
 * correlation and regression analysis (6)
 * t-tests (7)

The tutorials use dynamic applets that allow the user to explore relationships on their own. Guided exercises are designed to help the learner to take advantage of the applets to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts and logic that underlie much of inferential statistics.
