A good module should feel like:

concept → intuition → simulation → practice → takeaway

Here’s the clean template I’d recommend for every module page on your stats course site.

✅ Ideal Module Structure (Perfect for Your Website)

Each module should have these 6 components:

  1. Big Idea (1–2 sentences)

Start with the intuition, not definitions.

Example:

Sampling is the reason statistics exists: every estimate is noisy because data is finite.

This orients the reader immediately.

  1. Core Concept (Plain English explanation)

Explain without symbols first.

Example:

A sample mean is not the truth

It’s one noisy draw from a distribution of possible sample means

No math yet.

  1. Visual Intuition (1 figure or plot)

Stats becomes real when seen.

Examples:

Histogram of outcomes

Sampling distribution

Regression residual cloud

CI coverage picture

Even one plot is enough.

  1. Interactive Simulation (Shinylive embed or link) ⭐

This is your signature strength.

Example:

CLT slider: increase n → distribution tightens

Bootstrap slider: CI stabilizes

p-value simulator: false positives appear

  1. Mini Practice (3 questions max)

Keep it light but engaging.

Example:
