The BaylorISMs Project is still in beta.
Mission (tentative)
The mission of The Baylor University Interactive Statistics Modules Project (“BaylorISMs”) is to serve the community of statistics users (students, practitioners, teachers and researchers) by producing and maintaining a repository of high quality and free interactive statistics learning and research materials.
History
The Baylor University Interactive Statistics Modules Project, affectionately known as “BaylorISMs”, grew out of a handful of stand-alone modules made with Mathematica that David Kahle (Asst. Professor, Statistical Science) created for his introductory statistical methods course at Baylor University. In the summer of 2012, the project was supported by the Baylor University Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Achievement (URSA) program, with (then) Baylor undergraduate Ryan Warnick working with Prof. Kahle to create several modules that became the foundation of several BaylorISMs.
In the fall of 2012, David Kahle, Jane Harvill (Assoc. Professor, Statistical Science), Lance Grigsby (Sr. Academic Consultant, Electronic Library), and Sharon Johnson (Web Designer, Electronic Communications) shared a series of conversations about how to best share the modules with the world. The current implementation was born out of those discussions – we hope you enjoy it! The project went live on March 20, 2013, and continues to grow daily. If you have any comments, suggestions, or criticisms, please send them our way via the avenues listed on the contact us page.
We are actively seeking funding to advance the project. If you would like to help support the project, or have suggestions for support, please send an email to the BaylorISMs Project.
Acknowledgments
Several people have given useful tips and support in the construction of these modules. The creators of BaylorISMs would like to extend a warm thanks to Jack Tubbs, Dean Young, James Stamey, and the rest of the Department of Statistical Science at Baylor University, as well as Baylor University’s Electronic Library and Electronic Communications .
The BaylorISMs project is made possible by generous funding from
• Baylor University through the Office of the Vice Provost for Research’s Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Achievement program.
