Amirah Hazwani Abdul Rahim Universiti Teknologi MARA

        Statistics is a core subject in many university programs. It plays a vital role in developing analytical thinking and decision-making skills across various disciplines. However, students frequently find it challenging to grasp statistical concepts and apply them effectively. Traditional learning resources such as textbooks and lecture notes often lack opportunities for continuous practice and interactive learning, which can negatively impact academic performance. To address these challenges, the STA406 Interactive Statistics Learning Portal was developed as a digital learning platform that supports self-paced learning through structured online practice and interactive educational resources. The portal provides convenient access to topic-based exercises, learning materials, and guided practice anytime and anywhere, encouraging active participation and independent learning. Unlike conventional learning approaches that rely heavily on face-to-face instruction and printed materials, the portal integrates digital technology into statistics education by providing a centralized, accessible, and user-friendly learning environment tailored to the STA406 curriculum. It also extends learning beyond scheduled class hours, enabling continuous practice and improving access to learning resources. By enhancing students' engagement with statistical concepts, the portal contributes to a more meaningful learning experience while supporting the digital transformation of higher education. This innovation aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education by promoting inclusive and accessible learning opportunities. The STA406 Interactive Statistics Learning Portal provides a practical, user-friendly, and solution that enhances students' understanding, mastery, and confidence in statistics while offering strong potential for wider implementation across higher education institutions as an innovative digital learning platform.
