Abstract

Nowadays there are many tools to teach, both analogical and electronic. In our classes we use either tools: slides (and their xerox copies), computer driven presentations, videos, exercise bundles, calendar of the subject, syllabus, blackboard, detailed program of the subject... In the teaching/studying process there are to reference systems: the teacher’s and the students’. In the former, it is the teacher who knows the subject and has designed it, whereas in the latter the students should acquire the competences relative to the module, grade... To that end, the students should follow the teacher’s indications and use the materials we give them directly or indirectly. Unfortunately, the students, in their reference system, and due to the way teachers do our job, do not have any linear narrative threat facilitating the acquisition of the knowledge and competences. In this communication we present a tool, the electronic notes via Jupyter notebooks, which provides the students with a linear narrative threat based on a static initial schema but adaptable to each student, and modifiable and extensible by each student, being executable as well.
