To be most effective, it is important to be sensitive to the issue of math anxiety when constructing the microlecture.

'''Goals:''' Simplify fundamental statistical concepts for students in an online course whom experience math anxiety. (Expand Upon Further)

'''How does it work?:''' I will employ the following operating system and applications, with the goal of using open source tools to the furthest extent: Linux Mint as the desktop operating system, Audacity as the podcasting application, OpenOffice.org Impress as the presentation application, Slideshare for posting online and syncing audio with presentation (Expand Upon Further)
