DESIGN AND PROTOTYPE OF A MULTIMEDIA BASED STATISTICAL TUTOR

Statistical analysis is one of the most versatile tools used in the In dustrial Engineering function. Yet, statistics poses a major dilemma t o many students of I.E. and to practicing I.E.'s because the concepts are not well understood by them. For this reason, statistical analysis is often misused in many cases. We have designed and are currently de veloping a multimedia-based statistical tutor, using ToolBook(TM). Thi s tutor gives the end user capabilities to explore, interactively, the fundamental concepts underlying the various techniques commonly used by Industrial Engineers. Through this exploration, the end user discov ers the theory behind the techniques as well as many dynamic examples within the engineering domain.
