TRUC: an eLearning tool for Risk and Uncertainty Concepts
Bart H. M. Gerritsen, Ale T. Ganzeveld · European Simulation Multiconference on Modelling and Simulation · 2002
Web enabled electronic learning tools (eLearning tools) gained much attention, lately. Key questions are how to endow an eLearning tool with the right type and level of interactivity and how to personalise the learning material offered. Personalisation should tailor massive learning material to the capacity and present needs of the student, while companies must be able to match the learning material to their business, projects and cases. This paper discusses the development of the TRUC eLearning tool for basic statistics, risk and uncertainty concepts. This web-based tool treats these concepts at various levels of mathematical skills. Apart from a personalised version, the tool can also be used as a traditional (electronic) textbook or a reference text. A central Glossary safeguards consistent use of terminology.
