Evaluating Java Applets for Teaching on the Internet

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: ) is a website built around interactive tutorials designed to teach introductory and advanced statistical concepts. The tutorials use Java applets that dynamically illustrate the statistical concepts being taught. By using Java applets, we teach statistics in a manner not possible in a traditional classroom environment. In this paper, we provide examples of the applets, illustrate how students use them, and we report the outcome of a study that examined tutorial effectiveness as a learning tool. Index Terms—Java, Applets, Usability, Education I.
