EFECTOS TERMODINÁMICOS EN EL DISEÑO DE MATERIALES MULTIMEDIA

This paper, from a transdisciplinary theoretical perspective, introduces the term entropy in the design process and development of interactive materials, this way, it proposes the concept of educational Interactive Multimedia Systems (IMS), as a open, volatile and modifiable multimedia system, therefore, adaptive to the environment with which interact. The system presents modifications as for its structure when interact with the student, producing a process of continuous feedback; by means of a qualitative analysis of the behaviour of the entropy and of the quantity of information, it is possible to give design rules and also to carry out a more exhaustive study of the relative displacements that they present. This way, it is guided the process of design of these applications like a complex true system accepting, from a constructivist perspective that the student is not a simple user of a computer program, but rather he takes the main role in the learning process.
