Projects and publications

This site contains interactive material for online statistics learning, resulting from many projects.
The content of the elestat website is a collection of e-learning tools that have been developed in projects financed by the Flemish Government and Ghent University:

  • ILO-1 (1997-1998): Innovative learning environment for statistics and mathematics education (STIHO project)
  • ILO-2 (1998-2000): Innovative learning environment for statistics and mathematics education (STIHO project)
  • VirtEx (2000-2002): Learning in a virtual reality: virtual experiments (STIHO project)
  • Eledes (2001-2003): Electronic learning environment for experimental design (STIHO project)
  • EleStat (2003-2004): Electronic learning environment for statistics (convenant UGent)
  • OPL-project (2004-2006): Self-test and e-course for statistics distance learning (OPL project supported by the Education Committees of Food Technology, Physical Land Resources, Food Science and Nutrition, Environmental Sanitation and Aquaculture)
  • C+-project (2006): Elestat with SPSS: An extension of the Elestat exercise environment to the economic field an the use of the statistical package SPSS (project supported by the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration)
  • Metadatabase for datasets for the purpose of statistical education (2007-2008) (DKB - project)
  • Elestat Authoring Tool (2007 - 2008): Implementation of an authoring tool for the Elestat exercise environment (OPL - project)
