The e-ATLAS (Evaluation and Assessment of Teaching and Learning About Statistics) project is establishing a much needed evidence-based research culture in the statistics education community to better allow it to judge the effectiveness of its past and on-going efforts. Inspired by the internet's vastly expanded reach, resources, and accelerated development of the statistics education community, the project's innovative design seeks to provide customizable instruments that assess how teachers teach and what students learn. These instruments are administered on-line as part of a globally shared digital library of resources and linked to databases supporting assessment of course innovations, project evaluation, and research informing materials. Using these instruments, the e-ATLAS project is conducting a randomized nationally representative sampling of college statistics instructors and their classrooms. This provides a baseline of information on college teaching and student learning enabling investigators to triangulate the global position of their work. Through webinars and well-indexed exemplars the e-ATLAS project then supports new investigators in their drive for effective evaluation of their work.

E-ATLAS(统计教学评价和评估)项目正在统计教育界建立一种亟需的循证研究文化，使其能够更好地判断其过去和正在进行的工作的成效。受互联网极大扩展的覆盖范围、资源和统计教育社区的加速发展的启发，该项目的创新设计寻求提供可定制的工具，以评估教师如何教学以及学生学习什么。这些工具是作为全球共享资源数字图书馆的一部分在线管理的，并与支持课程创新评估、项目评估和研究信息材料的数据库相联系。利用这些工具，e-ATLAS项目正在对大学统计教师及其教室进行具有全国代表性的随机抽样。这提供了关于大学教学和学生学习的信息基线，使调查人员能够对其工作的全球位置进行三角定位。然后，e-ATLAS项目通过网络研讨会和索引良好的样本，支持新的调查人员有效评价他们的工作。
