The 45 participating students signed a consent where they are assured of
the confidentiality of the use of the data and allow the same to be used in the
present investigation. A table was drawn up showing an acceptance and
general approval of the use of the page measured through the positive
opinions of the students.
The Technology factor received high marks in ease of location and
functioning of the links, while the lowest notes refer to access speed,
something that depends on many factors and not only on the design and
content of the page, and multimedial elements, where very personal and
subjective tastes and uses interact.
The Quality of Information factor received in general almost 90% of
positive qualifications, except in the item Understanding of theoretical
contents, something that may be related to the nature of the Subject and its
own difficulties, rather than with the material included in the website.
The Design factor received more than 90% of positive grades in the two
items that comprise it.
4. Conclusion
These results, which indicate a high acceptance by the students of all the
work carried out, constitute an incentive for future extensions, the
improvement of the website and the inclusion of new features in it.
We believe that the recent development of digital technologies in Statistics
makes it possible to expand traditional learning environments with a virtual
space that, when used appropriately, allows time and space to be added to
face-to-face learning environments.
The teacher, in our case of Statistics, is the one who has to apply didactic
strategies so that in the digital age all the tools of information and
communication are implemented in the teaching from the initial level to
prepare citizens with a critical spirit that develops competences for their
insertion in this vertiginous society in which we live.
