This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will create web-based courseware featuring software (the "Urn Sampler") built around the simulation/resampling method in statistics which focuses on the process of formulating a statistical test. This courseware will also feature a statistics text (Statistics: Making Sense of Data by Stout, Marden and Travers), self-assessment tools, a "Virtual Professor" help system, a "Virtual Statistics Consulting Lab," and entry-level spreadsheet-based statistical software. The target market is students in introductory statistics courses, who will purchase the product just as they now purchase texts. The courseware aims to leverage the latest and most standard web technologies that are anticipated to be in place at the conclusion of the project's development phase.The plan combines the power of a web-based structure with the new resampling techniques to create a unique learning environment for statistics students. The Urn Sampler will be an open and flexible lab tool that will let teachers create exercises to supplement class lectures and other course materials. It will make it easy to teach the new compute-intensive resampling methods that have proven successful in teaching statistical inference. It addresses a diverse audience, including undergraduate and graduate students taking a required course in quantitative reasoning or statistics, students taking an undergraduate major or minor in statistics, and graduate students studying statistics and continuing education students. Additional product sales will come through purchases of parts of the web product by students whose instructors have adopted a text other than the Stout, et al. text.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段项目将创建基于网络的课件，其特点是围绕统计中的模拟/再模拟方法构建的软件（“瓮采样器”），重点是制定统计测试的过程。 本课件还将提供统计学文本（Statistics：Making Sense of Data by Stout，马尔登and Travers）、自我评估工具、“虚拟教授”帮助系统、“虚拟统计咨询实验室”和基于电子表格的入门级统计软件。 目标市场是统计学入门课程的学生，他们将像现在购买教科书一样购买该产品。 该课件旨在利用最新和最标准的网络技术，预计将在项目的开发阶段结束时到位，该计划结合了基于网络的结构与新的reservation技术的力量，为统计学生创造一个独特的学习环境。 瓮采样器将是一个开放和灵活的实验室工具，将允许教师创建练习，以补充课堂讲座和其他课程材料。 这将使它很容易教新的计算密集型reservation方法，已被证明是成功的教学统计推断。 它解决了不同的观众，包括本科生和研究生采取定量推理或统计必修课程，学生采取本科专业或未成年人在统计学，研究生学习统计和继续教育的学生。 额外的产品销售将通过购买部分网络产品的学生，其教师已通过一个文本以外的斯托特，等文本。
