Academic publisher SAGE has announced that IntroStats Online, a fully-digital introductory statistics textbook written by Greg Francis, has been honoured with a 2014 CODiE Award from the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) for Best Social Sciences Instructional Solution. Launched in May 2013, IntroStats Online is an interactive textbook designed with activities to fully immerse students into the material.
In addition to the text it features, the textbook includes thousands of practice questions, interactive demonstrations and simulations, calculators, a centralised grade book that automatically records student progress, and STATLAB Online, an interactive laboratory where students can conduct classic behavioural experiments.
The SIIA CODiE Awards have recognised excellence in the software and information industries since 1986. Judging takes place in multiple stages by educators and administrators who work in K-12 or higher education institutions.
