Abstract
The rapid technological innovation enable educators to integrate computers with other types of media, such as graphics,animation, audio and video, and called interactive multimedia. The interactive multimedia has been claimed to have great potential for learning, allowing a high degree of freedom of navigation and learner control in this environment. I It was impossible to transmit large multimedia data because of a Internet properties. After tens of year passed, many people began to transmit multimedia data in the Internet which had fast-speed and high-bandwidth. Some people want to learn classes to be taught in school through the Internet. Students, who are studying the field of social sciences, have to learn and practice statistics in order to analyze the current social status and to predict the future trend. However, students have a strong tendency to avoid the statistics lessons, which are dealing with complicated numbers, mathematics, various equations, and so on. Educators wish to use multimedia data in the educational field. Due to previous reasons, many parts in the educational field had tried to join real-time objects to multimedia objects. But, real-time data didn't appear easily due to many faults like network errors and system bugs if we want to control data in order to teach and learn classes. This paper aims to construct a stimulating environment for learning statistics and develop an actual lesson on the Internet, which students can study by practicing directly. The lesson is fully interactive and visualized by using multimedia technologies.
