Almost 15 years ago, on i-Biology, I released the first version of the IB Biology StatBook: an interactive Excel workbook to support teaching the (now defunct) Statistical Analysis unit and for data processing & presentation*. Now, with the help of Claude Design, I’ve updated and turned it into a live web-app.

The new microsite is on https://ifyouuseme.ai/i-biology under “Stats & Data” and includes:

• Decision-trees for choosing statistical tools
• Interactive examples of everything IB Biologists need to do
• Explanations of the various methods, including t-tests, Chi-squared tests, Mann-Whitney U tests
• Guidance on data processing and presentation
• Statistics glossary

Students could put their own data into this tool to see how the different approaches might work, but it won’t give them the final product. They will still need to understand and present their work appropriately. Teachers can use this to demonstrate the different forms of tests and analysis live in class.

If you use these resources, you are not using any AI: it is all handled locally in your browser.

These resources are hosted on the support site for (If You) USEME-AI: Learning for Hope & Agency in an AI World.

*it’s still live, you can get it (and the slides) here.
