Abstract
This paper describes work associated with an Information Technology Training Initiative (ITTI) Project which is delivering a range of products in support of basic statistics and quantitative methods training. We describe the project philosophy and the background to it, the product design criteria and their development, current and projected usage, spin-off activity, evaluation and usability studies, and future plans. The project deliverables have already demonstrated their benefits as a learning resource within IT Training Workshops, as materials suitable for a final-year degree module and as selfstudy materials. Uptake of products by other universities will be briefly referred to and also their relevance to teaching, learning and training situations.
