Read full description

Cálculo AR es una aplicación educativa desarrollada como complemento digital del libro de Cálculo I. La aplicación permite a los estudiantes escanear códigos QR incluidos en el libro físico para acceder a recursos educativos relacionados con cada tema. Estos recursos incluyen videos explicativos, modelos interactivos en 3D, material de prácticas en PDF y música educativa. El objetivo de Cálculo AR es reforzar el aprendizaje de conceptos importantes como números reales, funciones, límites, continuidad, derivadas, integrales y aplicaciones del cálculo, utilizando una experiencia más visual, práctica e interactiva. Funciones principales: •⁠ ⁠Inicio de sesión y activación de acceso para usuarios del libro. •⁠ ⁠Escaneo de códigos QR mediante la cámara del dispositivo. •⁠ ⁠Acceso a videos educativos vinculados al contenido del libro. •⁠ ⁠Visualización de modelos interactivos en 3D. •⁠ ⁠Acceso a prácticas complementarias en PDF. •⁠ ⁠Reproducción de música educativa mediante QR. •⁠ ⁠Interfaz sencilla enfocada en estudiantes. La aplicación está dirigida principalmente a estudiantes de ingeniería y carreras afines que cursan Cálculo I. Cálculo AR no reemplaza las clases ni el libro físico, sino que funciona como una herramienta de apoyo para el estudio autónomo, el repaso y la comprensión visual de los temas.
