Abstract:

Information and Communication Technologies, ICTs, propose new scenarios that require a revision of the classical teaching model, since both the methodologies, the way to access and acquire the knowledge and resources used, are affected by this technology. Students now have grown immersed in technology, where computers, tablets and cell phones, etc., are ways in which they interact with their world, so they need study material that fits the way they learn. Teaching material according to these ideas are digital textbooks integrated in appropriate virtual environments; a digital book is a publication whose support is an electronic file that can be stored in different digital media and allows the incorporation of interactive and multimedia elements. The elaboration of the multimedia book of the subject of hypothesis testing for the courses of Probability and Statistics that are taught in the FES-Cuautitlán in a virtual environment is based on the theory of social constructivism, which holds that an optimal learning environment is that where there is a dynamic interaction between teachers, students and tasks that provide opportunities for students to build their own knowledge, what happens due to interaction with others.

The multimedia book of the proposed hypothesis test will act as a catalyst for the integration of ICTs in the teaching-learning process of the Probability and Statistics subjects. This book will offer students a full-screen experience with galleries, videos, interactive diagrams, mathematical expressions and more; this book gives life to the content in ways that a printed page can not do. Students will no longer be limited to the static images that illustrate traditional texts, but can now immerse themselves in an image with interactive subtitles, make an answer come alive in the review of a chapter since they can browse through a book just by swiping a finger on the screen.

In summary, the audiovisual contents of these books will provide advantages when it comes to explanations and understanding of the concepts. As they are interactive, all the advantages of the network and its applications will be exploited. They will adapt to curricular changes and taking advantage of digital flexibility, teachers can select content, add, modify, etc. In a few words, they will be textbooks that will be in continuous review.
