Tools for an Interactive Learning Environment (TILE)


The TILE project consists of two parts: statistics labs that are designed to teach students how to think critically (and statistically) about quantitative problems that are real and important to them; a toolkit, which provides a flexible and extensible environment where instructors can develop portable teaching applications.

Statistics labs

The labs use multimedia to create an an interactive and applied setting where students learn the important statistical concepts.
