- QUERCUS - CAL Tools in Statistics and Modelling
- The objective set in this first strand to
this project is
to design software which would make the laboratory work much more effective and
more efficient. Initially this was to be based in a service class for
Bioscience students but a further development is to make available the
authoring resources as tools for other lecturers so that they can piece
together their own tutoring system simply by modifying existing applications.
The second strand to the project is to develop materials which could be used in
statistical modelling. This would link in the capabilities of computer algebra
package together with a tutoring system. The aim is to encourage students to
develop their understanding of statistical modelling using graphical
presentations. Most of the mathematical methods would be handled by the
computer algebra package.
- The STEPS Project
- The STEPS project
brings together nine departments in seven universities
throughout the UK to develop problem based teaching and learning
materials for statistics.
The materials being produced are based around specific problems arising
in Biology, Business, Geography and Psychology. It is intended that
students will discover that statistical issues arise from these
problems as important natural parts of the process of reaching
conclusions. The role of the computer is to assist in the exploration
of the problem and to provide support materials for the statistical
ideas encountered. Graphical illustration plays a major role. A
glossary of statistical terms is provided, and, where appropriate,
problem modules can be operated in parallel with standard packages.
