Many students have difficulties in the learning of elementary statistics because they think the concepts are abstract. Besides traditional classroom instruction, teachers can use the World Wide Web (WWW) technology to enhance the teaching and learning of statistics. In this paper, the author wants to discuss how the WWW technology can:- serve as a teaching resource; elaborate on the statistical concepts; promote interactive learning; be available for individual learning; and prepare students for the world of learning and work in an information age.
