Electronic teaching of statistical methods

[Narfeldt]

Hello
I'm about to teach our organisation in some statistical methods. Its going to be a selfstudy course there the student are read for an exampel in a ebook or something simular (few clicks away). Do anybody know a good program to tech in?

In my opinion, it all depends on your budget.
Your options range from really cheap:

Create the course in a word format, using forms, locking everything except the answer blocks for students to enter forms. They download the form, complete the form blanks and turn it in for grading/evaluation.

to relatively expensive (but SLICK!)

For less than $1,000 (USD), you can get a digital video camera and some editing software and create a TV show (DVD or intranet) of the instructor presenting the course material. You can intersperse PowerPoint, video clips of processes, etc. into the show as well as interim and final tests. Students can take the course at their availability and speed.)

If you want to get this elaborate, tell me and I'll dig out some of my files on suppliers.

If I had another ten years of work ahead of me, I'd probably create a company to make these custom (specific to the company) training programs. If I change my mind, I may be back here looking for course and curriculum designers and presenters!

Al,

There are some good sites there. I especially liked the NIST Engineering handbook. Well done.
