Abstract:
The technology that has been integrated into the educational process is changing teaching paradigms. Thanks to technology books are also changing. Students no longer have to load all the books. Getting a copy of the book is a rare occurrence, and not having to buy hundreds of books on paper. New technologies are changing the way traditional education is viewed and understood. The advances cause new alternatives to arise for problems that until now had no solution. Digital books are the most effective and simple way of accessing the benefits of the digital technologies for education.

Digital books are the most effective and simple way of accessing the advantages that the digital technologies for education offer in this proposal. Textbooks with their content measured and adjusted to the syllabus integrate activities, summaries, exercises, etc. The advantages of technology: multimedia presentation, interaction, personalization, etc.

Within this context an interactive digital book of measures of central tendency was carried out. In a data set, the following characteristics are usually of paramount importance:
1. the center,
2. the variation,
3. the distribution,
4. the atypical values and
5. the characteristics of the data that change over time.

The most important central trend measures are the mean, median and standard deviation. Understanding standard deviation values using tools as the general rule of rank is especially important.

Because technology allows us to get many of these statistics automatically, it is not so important to memorize formulas or perform complex arithmetic calculations by hand; On the other hand, so that the students can concentrate on understanding and interpreting the values that are obtained from them.

The interactive digital book of measures of central tendency contemplates that each chapter points out prerequisites, learning objectives, written development of the subject, videos with explanation, interactive exercises, widget (html 5. Interactive galleries, interactive images, etc.) review questions.

The interactive digital book will provide students with a full-screen experience with galleries, videos, interactive diagrams, 3D objects, math expressions, and more; These books give life to the content in ways that a printed page can not do. Students will no longer be limited to static images that illustrate traditional texts, but can now immerse themselves in an image with interactive subtitles, rotate a 3D object or make an answer come alive in the chapter overview. You can flip through a book with a single finger on the screen. They can also highlight text, take notes, find content and find definitions in a glossary very easily. In addition, they can take them wherever they go, which will allow students not only to learn between the walls of the classroom, but also in the virtual space that make up these books.
