Connexions modular content

Connexions ( cnx.org ) is an online, open access educational resource dedicated to providing high quality learning materials free online, free in printable PDF format, and at low cost in bound volumes through print-on-demand publishing. The Collaborative Statistics textbook is one of many collections available to Connexions users. Each collection is composed of a number of re-usable learning modules written in the Connexions XML markup language. Each module may also be re-used (or 're-purposed') as part of other collections and may be used outside of Connexions. Including Collaborative Statistics , Connexions currently offers over 6500 modules and more than 350 collections.

The modules of Collaborative Statistics are derived from the original paper version of the textbook under the same title, Collaborative Statistics . Each module represents a self-contained concept from the original work. Together, the modules comprise the original textbook.
