• The Conceptual Question Library offers 1,000 conceptual-based questions to help students internalize concepts, make interpretations, and think critically about statistics.

  

• The Getting Ready for Statistics Library contains more than 450 exercises on prerequisite topics. Assign these questions to students who may need a little extra practice on their prerequisite skills to be successful in your course.

• The StatTalk Video Library is based on a series of 24 videos, hosted by fun-loving statistician Andrew Vickers, that demonstrate important statistical concepts through interesting stories and real-life events.
