EMILeA-stat
Statistical and quantitative thinking and acting have become fundamental skills in several branches of natural sciences, life sciences, social sciences, economics, and engineering. Therefore, already pupils should get to know elementary and application-oriented statistics (e.g., descriptive statistics, exploratory data analysis). Furthermore, students of many different disciplines should be familiar with basic and advanced statistics.
These goals gave the main impact to develop EMILeA-stat as one system suitable for teaching statistics at schools, universities, and in further vocational training which supports both supervised and self-directed learning.
EMILeA-stat, a multimedia, web-based, and interactive learning and teaching environment in applied statistics, was developed in the project "e-stat". The project was set up by 13 partners working at eight German universities: Augsburg, Bonn, Berlin (Humboldt-University), Dortmund, Karlsruhe, Münster, Oldenburg (leading university; now Aachen), and Potsdam. The project is also supported by further partners in advice and it cooperates with economic partners such as SPSS Software, BertelsmannSpringer Science+Business Media (Springer Verlag), and MD*Tech Method & Data Technologies (XploRe-Software). Within the project period about 70 people were co-working in developing und realizing the learning environment and its content.
The general structure of the learning environment offers on the one hand the opportunity to tailor individual courses covering specific learning needs. On the other hand, EMILeA-stat serves as an environment for selfdirected learning as well as an intelligent statistical encyclopaedia. The basic statistical contents are presented on different levels of abstraction in order to take into account that different types of users have - owing to their individual mathematical and theoretical backgrounds - different needs. Moreover, theoretical contents are supplemented by interactive visualizations such as JAVA-Applets.
