Abstract:

This project shows a virtual tutorships system as an instrument of support to the habitual classes, which will be useful in the process of learning for students in secondary school, concretely for students in the subject of Mathematics, for the fourth grade of Secondary Education.

This study has his focus on Trigonometry and the main aims of the study are:
- To place firmly the grounds of the Trigonometrical reasons.
- To Introduce ICT as a complement of the mathematic learning process.
- To promote the student`s active participation in the learning process through a virtual channel.
- The adaptation to the new demands which the higher education requires.

These virtual tutorships will consist of the preparation of a several video sequences, where we will find different mathematical concepts related to Trigonometry. This should allow the students to watch all the videos from everywhere with access to Internet.
With the introduction of new technologies in our daily live, it has been created a different educational environment, which will permit the development of new educational experiences, in this case, using a virtual channel to teach Trigonometry to students in fourth grade of Secondary School.
