Abstract:
Technology that has been integrated into the educational process is changing teaching paradigms. The changes are generally good and, thanks to technology, books are also changing. As such, students no longer have the burden of carrying paper books. New technologies are changing the way we see and understand traditional education. These advances mean that new alternatives are emerging for problems that until now had no solution. Digital books are the most effective and practical way to access the advantages that technology brings to the classroom. In digital books we textbooks have their contents adjusted to indexes that include activities, summaries, exercises, etc. The advantages of technology are multimedia presentations, interaction, personalization, among others.

Within this context, an interactive digital book was produced on the topic: Importance of Statistics and Presentation of the Information for the Statistical Subjects Taught at the Faculty of Higher Studies Cuautitlán. The book was made with an interactive approach, that is, in most chapters there are HTML5 objects that students can access by connecting to the Internet from any mobile device or PC. The themes of this interactive book were statistics, variables and measurement levels, pie graphs, bar graphs, histograms, dot graphs, stem and leaf graphs, line graphs and forms.

Each chapter of the interactive digital book designates prerequisites, learning objectives, written development of the topic in the form of questions and answers, videos with explanation, interactive exercises, widget (html 5, interactive galleries, interactive images, etc.) review questions, internet activities and resources.
The interactive digital book will offer students a full-screen experience with galleries, videos, interactive diagrams, mathematical expressions and more. These illustrate content in ways that a printed page cannot. Students will no longer be limited to static images highlighting traditional texts, but can now immerse themselves in images with interactive captions that bring answers to life. They can flip through pages by simply sliding a finger on the screen. They can also highlight text, take notes, search for content, and find definitions in a glossary very easily. In addition, they can take them wherever they go, allowing them to learn not only within the classroom walls, but also in the virtual space that these books make up.
