Abstract:

The Information and Communication Technologies present new scenarios that require a revision of the classic model of education, since both the methodologies, the way of access, the acquisition of knowledge and the resources used are affected by this technology. Today, the students have grown immersed in technology, where computers, tablets and cell phones are ways they interact with their world, so they need to study with material that fits the way they learn.

The elaboration of the digital book on the subject of graphics was developed for the courses of statistics that are taught in the FES-Cuautitlán in a virtual environment. The book is based on the theory of social constructivism, which maintains that an optimal learning environment is one where there is a dynamic interaction between teachers, students and tasks that provide opportunities for students to build their own knowledge.

The digital book on the subject of graphics will act as a catalyst for the integration of information technologies in the educational process of teaching and learning of the subjects of statistics. This book will offer students an experience of multimedia such as galleries, videos, interactive diagrams and objects in 3D, and mathematical expressions. These books demonstrate another way to visualize the content through interactive tools that demonstrate to the students that they do not have limitations with didactic content as images with interactive subtitles, rotate an object in 3D, and make responses with movement according to the content of the chapter. In addition, students can interact with the book because their sheets are animated, highlighting text, taking notes, finding content and finding definitions in a glossary very easily. It is important to mention that this type of learning will help the student to learn from anywhere because everything is in a virtual classroom.

The proposed digital textbooks provide for each chapter to indicate prerequisites, learning objectives, written topic development, explaining videos, interactive exercises and self-correcting questions.

In summary, the audiovisual contents of these books will provide advantages when explaining and understanding the concepts. Being interactive, the advantages of the network and its applications will take advantage. They will adapt to the curricular changes and taking advantage of the digital flexibility, the teachers will be able to select contents, to add, to modify, etc. They will be textbooks that will be in continuous revision.
