Using Real Data For Statistics Education In An Open-Source Learning Environment

The tutor-web is an open-source learning environment designed to be used for teaching mathematics and statistics. The system offers thousands of exercises at high school and university level, and has been used for a decade to teach introductory statistics courses with good results. A new component has recently been added to the tutor-web so that students can enter their own data or get real data from several data sources for practicing and learning new concepts.
