Abstract:
|
Students learn better with visual aids. It is especially true in learning statistics, in which some concepts are difficult or impossible to picture or calculate in our head, such as the Central Limit Theorem (CLT). To better explain the theorem, it requires thousands of iterations of procedures in sampling, graphing and computing an enormous quantity of data. The whole detailed process is too tedious to demonstrate. Currently there are no instruments available that not only show and record the complete statistical procedures but also require no knowledge of additional software. Therefore, we apply a novel programming technique that automatically generates teaching PPT slides to effectively illustrate the concepts and results of the CLT. The PPT demonstration will be focused on presenting statistical calculation results and graphs in a dynamic manner.
