An in-class activity from the STAR Library can help
introduce the concept of regression.
Applets like this one from SticiGui Java Tools allow students to explore changes in the data to see how they affect the regression line.
Using self-tests like this one from Biometry: Statistics for Ecology, students can submit their answers and receive immediate feedback regarding questions answered correctly and questions or topics needing improvement.

The Intuitor site contains an
introduction to hypothesis testing,
relating it to what happens at a criminal
trial.
DIGSTATS contains examples and data sets, like the one below about Acid Rain.
The ARTIST database contains questions classified by topic and learning outcomes.

• Changes in teaching:– Teaching & Learning Cycle (TLC)
– Interaction with students– Hurdles of implementation (Searching &
Finding)– Advantages of implementation
Student Interaction
• Minimal change to student interactions
• Less lecture / more activities• Potential for more on-line
interactions• Potential for on-line instruction
