隨著網際網路(internet) 的盛行，利用網路(network) 來當作電腦輔助教學(computer-aided education) 的工具，已慢慢的變成一種趨勢。然而一般在網路上的電腦輔助教學多以靜態的文字呈現，與傳統的教科書並無重大的差別，只是比較方便查閱而已。隨著全球資訊網(World Wide Web, WWW) 的快速發展及爪哇程式語言(java programming language) 的興起，互動式(interactive) 網路輔助教學變成一種未來的趨勢，將它應用在許多的基礎統計教學上更可增進教學的效果。藉由使用全球資訊網的技術，配合上由爪哇程式語言所寫成的 Applets 小程式，教授者可以利用超文字標註語言(Hypertext Markup Language, HTML) 透過全球資訊網來讓使用者直接使用這些 Applets，以達到互動式的教學展示。本文中六個關於統計概念的 Java Applets 應用於統計課程輔助教學的範例，可以幫助學生更容易學習一些較抽象的統計概念。而達成此目的的方法，則是根據視覺化(visualization) 與模擬(simulation) 兩個方式，透過網路將這些抽象的統計概念，用圖形或遊戲具體的呈現出來。本文將透過這些例子，說明並討論如何使用它們來增進統計教學的效果，最後也會介紹如何將這些 Java Applets 與 WWW 結合，讓教授者輕鬆的應用在自己的網頁中。

With the prevalence of internet, it is gradually becoming a trend to use the network as a tool of computer-added education. However, it is used to present the computer-added education with static state of the word, but it is just convenient to read for the user and there are no difference with traditional textbook. As the growing up of WWW and the development of Java, the interactive computer-added education is becoming a trend in the future and it can promote the effect of teaching basic statistics with the application of this new media. The instructor can take advantage of HTML by combining with Java Applets to achieve the display of interactive education through WWW. In this paper, we will use six examples of Java Applets about statistical computer-added education to help student easily to learn and to understand some abstract statistical concepts. The key methods to reach the goal are visualization and simulation with the display of graphics or games. Finally, we will discuss how to use the Applets and how to add the Java Applets into your homepage easily.
