Use of Infographics in Virtual Environments for Personal Learning Process on Boolean Algebra

Abstract

The cutting edge technology opens new opportunities to plan and implement various teaching strategies in virtual environments that enable the efficient development of competence in students. Therefore, universities face the challenge of implementing innovative technological tools in the educational process to facilitate the assimilation and utilization of knowledge. In particular, the professor of Computational Mathematics course 2014-II has decided to use the infographics during the construction of audiovisual contents presented by the Usable Adaptive Hypermedia System (SHAU) in order to improve the communication channel between the web interface and the user. This system customizes the information considering the level of knowledge possessed by students on Boolean algebra and styles of visual - auditory learning. The quantitative approach through ANOVA method allows this research to analyze the development of knowledge of the 30 students before and after using the SHAU 2.0. Finally, the results confirm that the use of the infographics with the latest technology facilitates the learning process through the construction of audiovisual contents based on Graphic Design.
