The Department of Mathematics at James Madison University is developing a computer classroom/laboratory for Introductory Statistics. The facility will be used to improve the curriculum through the use of individual and group projects involving statistical experiments and data analysis, in-class use of WEB-based resources, and further development of James Madison University's Interactive Problem system, currently being implemented for WEB-based homework assignments in Introductory Statistics. Goals for the project include helping students construct a conceptual understanding of statistics, giving students a realistic picture of the role of statistics as an essential tool in their own discipline, introducing students to the computer as a primary tool in data analysis with skills which are easily transferable to courses in the students' disciplines, and helping the introductory statistics course become more effective in meeting the goals of mathematics-statistics general education.

詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学数学系正在为《统计学入门》开发一个计算机教室/实验室。该设施将用于通过使用个人和小组项目来改进课程，包括统计实验和数据分析，在课堂上使用基于网络的资源，以及进一步开发詹姆斯麦迪逊大学的互动问题系统，该系统目前正在用于基于网络的家庭作业。该项目的目标包括帮助学生构建对统计的概念性理解，让学生对统计作为本学科基本工具的作用有一个现实的认识，向学生介绍计算机作为数据分析的主要工具，其技能很容易转移到学生的学科课程中，并帮助统计入门课程更有效地满足数学-统计通识教育的目标。
