Abstract

With the World Wide Web, CD-ROM and other stand-alone software for statistics concepts, electronic textbooks for statistics education are now beginning to appear at a somewhat rapid pace. This talk will present the author’s views, experiences, and current opinions on such media. A real-time demonstration of one such product, the multimedia CD-ROM, An Electronic Companion to Business Statistics, by Jonathan D. Cryer and George W. Cobb, (Cogito Learning Media), will illustrate some of the possibilities.
