step. The system will capture the amount of time taken (in seconds) spent at
each step. In the test questions section, students are given specific time to
attempt the test and their performance measured at the end of the test.

3. Development of STATLEARN@
STATLEARN@ is developed as a web application. The major reason why
web application was chosen as the platform for STATLEARN@ is because it
improves the accessibility and the availability of STATLEARN@, which in turn
allows students to access the STATLEARN@ anytime at any place, provided
they are connected to the internet. STATLEARN@ was developed using basic
web development languages. HTML, CSS and JavaScript are used for the front-
end design, in other words, the presentation, of the application. A popular CSS
Framework named Bootstrap is used to achieve responsive web design. With
responsive web design, STATLEARN@ becomes a mobile-friendly web
application, allowing students to use the application easily on their smart
phone devices. Moreover, a popular JavaScript library named jQuery is used
to implement interactivity on the front-end side of the application. For the
back-end side of the application, PHP is used. The back-end consists the logic
of the application, for example the functions to check for students’ answers as
well as the functions to perform calculations. This development process will
calibrate with the process of solving hypothesis testing. It can be explained by
the flow chart in Figure 1.
