What is SOCR?
The goals of the Statistics Online Computational Resource
(SOCR) are to design, validate and freely disseminate
knowledge. Our Resource specifically provides portable online
aids for probability and statistics education, technology based
instruction and statistical computing. SOCR tools and resources
include a repository of interactive applets, computational and
graphing tools, instructional and course materials. |

What are the main SOCR
Components?
The core SOCR educational and computational components include:
Distributions (interactive graphs and
calculators), Experiments (virtual computer-generated
analogs of popular games and processes), Analyses (collection of common
web-accessible tools for statistical data analysis), Games (interfaces and simulations to
real-life processes), Modeler (tools for distribution, polynomial
and spectral model-fitting and simulation), Graphs, Plots and Charts (comprehensive
web-based tools for exploratory data analysis), Additional Tools (other statistical tools
and resources), SOCR Wiki (collaborative Wiki resource), Educational Materials and Hands-on
Activities (varieties of SOCR educational materials), SOCR Statistical Consulting and Statistical
Computing Libraries.
Java Browser Issues
Chrome browser users need to explicitly allow
Java applets to run in the browser window.
This is accomplished by manually enabling the NPAPI plugins
(chrome://flags/#enable-npapi).
How to use the SOCR Resources?
There are three major types of SOCR users: educators,
students and tool developers. Course instructors and teachers
will find the SOCR class notes and interactive tools useful
for student motivation, concept demonstrations and for
enhancing their technology based pedagogical approaches to
any study of variation and uncertainty. Students and
trainees may find the SOCR class notes, analyses,
computational and graphing tools extremely useful in their
learning/practicing pursuits. Model developers,
software programmers and other engineering, biomedical and
applied researchers may find the light-weight plug-in
oriented SOCR computational libraries and infrastructure
useful in their algorithm designs and research efforts. The
three types of SOCR resources are:
SOCR Support
Please consider making donations of any size to support SOCR student stipends (for resource development and conference travel) and instructor-training/continuing-education workshops (travel and stipends for K-16 educators to attend annual SOCR-events). |
