Testing of the TASAM system took place in the main laboratory of the college of Economics and<br />

Administration in King Abdul-Aziz University, after the mid exams of the first semester (academic year<br />

2010-2011). All the computers used in the experiment were connected to the Internet and participants<br />

accessed the TASAM website through a common web browser. Participants consisted of 53 first<br />

levels of statistics students from Arts and Humanities collage and consisted of two different group<br />

tests. Each of the two groups in the system testing was engaged in using two chapters within the<br />

statistics course see the following table 4:--<br />

Testing comparisons consisted of the following:-<br />

Compared the result of group (A) using the TASAM system without professor explanation of the<br />

chapters correlation and Measures of Variability with students of group (A) not using the TASAM<br />

system only using the professor explanation of the chapter (Measures of Central tendency).<br />

Compared the exam result of group (A) using the TASAM system without professor explanation of<br />

the chapters correlation and Measures of Variability with students of group (A) using the TASAM<br />

system with professor explanation of the chapters correlation and Measures of Variability).<br />

Compared the exam result of group (A) students not using the TASAM system with professor<br />

explanation of the chapters’ correlation and Measures of Variability with second group (B)<br />

students using the TASAM system without professor explanation of the chapters Measures of<br />

Variability and Measures of Central tendency.<br />
