• Abstract:

  This article presents the experience of developing a virtual laboratory prototype to promote the
  teaching-learning of statistics through the Shiny package of the statistical software R. Shiny
  allows the creation of a user interface based on buttons and selection windows that allow
  interaction with elements presented to the user. The aim of this study is to show the general
  structure and the considerations of developing a tool of this type, including the modules for the
  main interface, the activities included in the virtual laboratory and the possible interaction
  options, mentioning its limitations. The programmed modules focused on simple and multiple
  linear regression analysis considering the study of the assumptions of this type of models. In
  conclusion, Shiny is a powerful tool to create technological teaching tools, since it allows the
  creation of friendly modules that facilitate the application of statistical content. This study is
  recommended for those who are new to interactive application development and have considered
  open-source software as a resource.
