    Abstract

    ![CDATA[The Statistics Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) is a key component of many university research methods courses. Teaching SPSS is especially difficult when the students have no assumed background in either mathematics or statistics. A group of 300 undergraduate Communication students were taught using a blended learning approach of traditional methods and interactive online Flash video tutorials created with the Macromedia program, Captivate. The tutorials depicted the process by which students could analyze survey data. Observation and feedback showed that students could progress at their own pace, and review the Flash tutorials from home. The value of the blended learning approach is discussed.]]
