Abstract

This paper presents the ongoing work1 related to the realization of an introductory statistics course produced by a blended learning authoring environment. The main challenge of this work is applying a blended learning approach in the field of statistics using R as a main engine behind all related pedagogical activities which belong to the course materials (self-training exercises, homework, guided exercises, quizzes, etc.). Moreover the production of the course materials using this environment will be open, sharable and compliant with SCORM standard.
