Non experimental evaluation of a computer assisted tool

Abstract

E-status is a web-based tool designed to improve learning in statistics introductory courses. On a separate research (Gonzalez et al, 2006) we present an experimental evaluation on the performance improvement among students of a dentistry school. Here, on an observational setting, we estimate its effect on improving the learning level of an introductory statistical course of 84 lecturing hours (6 European Credit Transfer System) for computer science students.
