Abstract:
This learning innovation involves developing multilingual teaching materials (Spanish and English) with the aim of ease the understanding of the main theoretical concepts of qualitative research subjects in economics such as Statistics and Econometrics.
This material will be based on elaborated “.GIF” files and other multimedia files that will help the understanding of key concepts in these subjects. Particularly, concepts such as the mean versus the standard deviation, correlation vs. causality, multicollinearity and endogeneity are covered with this innovative approach.
Unlike video-tutorials, these GIFs are considered as knowledge pills contributing to improve the learning process. These GIFs are developed through the MadLipz application, which allows to produce short videos, just some seconds, easily followed by students.Keywords:
