Abstract
The incorporation and integration of multimedia material in educational settings opens the possibility of change and renewal in classroom dynamics, the didactic processes involved, the facilities, the activity of the teacher and the role of the student. The use of these resources affects cognitive processes, increasing the capacity to encode, store and process information. In this context, the design and development of digital educational materials to integrate them into different contexts and paradigms is of utmost importance. Consequently, the design, production and evaluation in a pilot test of an interactive hypermedia educational material (IHEM) aimed at learning General Chemistry content was launched in 2019.
The pandemic unleashed in early 2020, led to the need to virtualize the General and Inorganic Chemistry Course at UNNOBA. Since the MEHI tool had been tested in a pilot test cohort in 2019, it was decided to launch it in the 2020 cohort, using it for teaching Unit 10 of the subject General and Inorganic Chemistry, in which the contents of Electrochemistry that addresses the hypermedial MEHI material are developed.
The work begins with a brief introduction that reviews the state of the arts and then presents the methodology and description of the sample used in the new educational experience and the data collection instruments for its evaluation. Finally, the results obtained and analysis data and the conclusions are developed.
