He created a website to explain many types of analysis and to help anyone who wants to understand statistics. The name of this project is <a href=\"http:\/\/students.brown.edu\/seeing-theory\/index.html\">\u201cSeeing Theory\u201d<\/a> &#8211; very creative isn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs the number of students and the backgrounds of students that are taking statistics grows, I think the pedagogy around statistics has to adapt too, There are a lot of students taking it with less math literacy, but have to to take it for other disciplines. A visual approach might be the link for those students.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/daniel-kunin.com\/\">Daniel Kunin<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/students.brown.edu\/seeing-theory\/index.html\">\u201cSeeing Theory\u201d<\/a> website also lets people interact with the types of analysis in a way to promote understanding.
