Enhancing students' understanding of regression concepts

Some commercial e-Learning packages on regression have failed to realise their claims of facilitating students' understanding of regression concepts, because the concern of knowledge-building rationale has not been addressed. Thus, an e-Learning package for regression concepts was designed by the authors in a direction towards a more hierarchical pattern of knowledge construction. The package was undergone in three phases of evaluation by educational designers, teachers and students. Positive feedback was received from educational designers as well as teachers. Also, the students found that within the environment of the package their learning process was enhanced and fostered through peer learning and teacher assistance, thus providing a better understanding of the regression concepts.
