\subsection{Overview of the Application}
Our application, titled
Johnny ``Johnny Takes on
complex subject material (cite something here?)l. Using a simplified methodology of storytelling ins Stats for
Informatics, Informatics'', is an extension of earlier works that create storytelling modules to teach
tructional complex subject material. Using a simplified methodology of storytelling instructional guides, inspired by instructional applications like Alice 3D and websites like
killmath.com, \url{killmath.com} and \url{http://vectors.usc.edu}, we create a story-based
on-line online application to teach to statistics concepts that are considered challenging to individuals first learning statistical methods in a research setting.
Our application begins with a narrative detailing our protagonist, Johnny. Johnny is an Informatics student, new to research and statistical methods, who must interpret data findings from a research project he is working on. After briefly introducing him, we discuss his research question, clarifying that every research study must detail a clear research question that contributes to scholarly knowledge. This happens to be: ``people who update their Twitter accounts when using mobile devices update them more than people who update their Twitter statuses using computers and laptops.''
