  • Abstract
    With the advent of global competition and process re-engineering, the need for statistical reasoning is becoming increasingly important in a variety of business, managerial, and engineering applications. This paper presents a technology-enabled approach for providing just-in-time training for onsite learners in basic probability and statistics. By modularizing core concepts, instruction can be modified for students with varied mathematical backgrounds. Online review materials contain applications in business, engineering, and management and address alternative learning styles. Online materials also allow students to navigate through a variety of applications, download multimedia instruction, and complete interactive self-correcting exercises in each of the curricular modules.
