Course of Calculus: a new methodolgy with Moodle's platform

Abstract

The project we present, explains basically the production of auto learning educational material using the different resources of the platform moodle, to develop a set of topics different from which habitually are presented to the students. Thus, the knowledge’s of the students on these topics can be improved and consolidated. One of the most important motivations which has stimulated to developing this project is the one of trying to change the form which the students obtain their knowledge’s and trying also to change the method of work of the students. We try to do all this work in a more attractive and participative form. Then, we can improve the academic yield of the students of the first university courses, which is often a motive of analysis and critique. The development of the project is centred basically in technical studies, due to the adscription of the professorship that has taken part in it. However, because of the proper nature of the project and of the form we treat the topics; we do not expect special difficulties to extend the project to other areas. Likewise, we have tried to the changes that obviously will have to take place (be produced) in the methodology of the education of the mathematics in the new frame ECTS. To which we are all adapting.
