Abstract:

The International Statistical Literacy Project (ISLP) is an ongoing project of the International Association for Statistics Education (IASE) with the objective of promoting statistical literacy around the world and aiding those interested in statistical literacy. Its web page at www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~iase/islp contains the largest collection of international statistical literacy resources available today relevant for the media, teachers, students, adult educators, national statistical offices, and many others. In this poster, we illustrate how to make the most of these resources with several examples on how to use them: assessment tools built from it, community programs proposals to improve statistical literacy, national statistics tutorials and many other. In each of these examples, we show in detail how we put it together using the ISLP.
