Statistical Visualization Applets for the Collegiate QL Course.
Statistical topics are often hard to for students to conceptualize and time-consuming to create by hand. In this talk I
will present how several visualization Applets (designed and written by Dr. Mary Parker and Hunter Ellinger at Austin
Community College) can be used in a Quantitative Literacy course that includes basic statistical content to enhance
student understanding of how to create and interpret histograms, various plot types, correlation, and more. These open-
source Applets and their instructions can be copied to an instructor's own webpage and modified.
