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.

Toolkit
The toolkit provides instructors with flexible and extensible
tools to support development of lab material.
The tools are written in Java. They support HTML inputs
with additional tags and with programming statements in
the Omega language.
