ActivStats is an innovative multimedia education product
that teaches introductory college-level statistics and the use of our
Data Desk data exploration package. ActivStats was designed and
authored by Paul Velleman, and reflects modern research into how people learn and
specifically how people learn statistics.
Based on MediaDX,
it’s an interactive mix of narrative, video, sound, and animation that
encourages students to work at their own speed and, along the way,
explore the concepts and skills that particularly interest them. Once
the user has worked through the software, it remains a lively reference
resource.
The success of the original ActivStats has prompted the
cooperative development of a number of related statistics courses that
link up to other statistical analysis tools.
Innovative, Comprehensive Statistics Resource
ActivStats uses a full range of multimedia to motivate,
explain, visualize, and apply introductory statistics concepts. It
integrates video, simulation, animation, narration, text, interactive
experiments, web access, and Data Desk into a rich learning environment.
It is used successfully by both students and professionals.
Professional
The Professional version is designed to help you review
the statistics you have forgotten or to learn these valuable skills for
the first time on your own. It includes the Assistant, a special tool
that guides the user through the steps of a data analysis that offers
links to ActivStats activities to review specific concepts.
