The only self-contained PC-based training I know of is Cogito's material,
specifically "An Electronic Companion to Statistics". You can info at
http://www.cogitomedia.com - select the Products link.
One nice feature is it includes segments from the Public Broadcasting
System's Inside Statistics video series, which is long, but pretty good.
Another helpful tool to consider is the Standard Deviants Statitics video
tape series. You can purchase it through www.amazon.com - search using
"standard deviants statistics". (yes I mean deviants and not deviates).
They are VERY good tapes intended to help college students make it through
their first stat classes.
