Overview:: This site is a youtuble channel that contains a collection of 30 videos that each goes over an example problem from elementary statistics, or the so-called descriptive statistics.
Type of Material:: Collection
Recommended Uses:: In-class activity in either individual or group work; home assignment, supplementary resource; or self study.
Technical Requirements:: Access to YouTube from any browser.
Identify Major Learning Goals:: To use the LibreTexts calculator to do Statistics examples of some statistics contents. The main goals are to apply statistical calculations via online calculator, interpret outputs accurately, reinforece the understanding of essential statistics topics, and develop confidence in using modern technology tools.
Target Student Population:: High School, College General Ed, College Lower Division
Prerequisite Knowledge or Skills:: Descriptive and inferencial statistics, probability, with basic math skills.

Content Quality

Rating:
Strengths:: The content of this site is clear and accurate with step-by-step statistical calculations, and this site can be easily used by all users. The material is well aligned with standard introductory statistics curricula, covering commonly taught topics such as descriptive statistics, probability, and interpretation of numerical results. Examples are focused and practical, helping learners connect theory with real data analysis tasks. Another key strength is the integration of interactive technology. By explicitly showing how to use the LibreTexts calculator, the material supports the development of digital and analytical skills that are increasingly important in statistics education. This practical orientation distinguishes it from purely lecture-based or text-only resources.
Concerns:: The need of examples from everyday situations to understand how to apply and associate descriptive and inferential statistics, and probability. This site does not consistently provide a direct or clearly visible link to access the LibreTexts statistical calculator referenced in the videos. This may create unnecessary friction for learners, particularly those studying independently, who must search externally to locate the correct tool. The material does not support dataset storage or reuse within the calculator environment. Learners are unable to save, revisit, or manage datasets across sessions, which limits opportunities for extended practice, longitudinal analysis, or project-based learning. There is no explicit information regarding data protection or privacy practices related to the use of the calculator or associated tools. The absence of clear guidance on how user-entered data are handled, stored, or protected may raise concerns, especially in educational contexts where institutional data protection requirements apply. If the site (Youtube Channel) can address these limitations, it would significantly enhance the usability, transparency, and instructional robustness of the learning material.

Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool

Rating:
Strengths:: This site can be considered as a review for students who just want to remember the quick highlights of some statistics and probability contents, since the content is short, direct to the topic that can be easily understood by all students. The open-access nature of the material supports equitable teaching practices, enabling instructors to adopt the resource without cost barriers and allowing learners unrestricted access outside the classroom.
Concerns:: This site does not provide integrated datasets, data-saving functionality, and clear data privacy guidance, which limits the material’s suitability for extended assignments, collaborative activities, or project-based learning.

Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty

Rating:
Strengths:: Students can easily access all the materials in the videos because hosting the instructional videos on YouTube provides a familiar and intuitive user interface, enabling standard controls such as pause, replay, playback speed adjustment, and captioning, which support diverse learning preferences and accessibility needs.
Concerns:: The lack of supported repeated or continued use of datasets. Therefore, learners cannot save, reload, or reuse previously entered datasets, requiring data to be re-entered for each session. This disrupts learning continuity and reduces efficiency, especially for practice, review, or multi-step assignments.
