Ver a los computadores como máquinas capaces de llevar a cabo tareas descritas en un lenguaje simple permite comprender mejor cómo funcionan y cómo se construyen. A partir de esta hipótesis, se ha desarrollado un material para la docencia virtual de un curso sobre Fundamentos de Computadores común para los estudiantes de grado en Ingeniería Informática y en Tecnologías de Telecomunicación. En este artículo se presenta tanto la organización de los nuevos materiales como su impacto en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Los resultados obtenidos en su primer semestre de prueba indican que, a pesar de su amplitud y de echar en falta más ejemplos, los estudiantes (en especial, aquellos de mayor rendimiento académico) valoran de forma positiva tanto los materiales como lo que han aprendido con ellos.
SUMMARY -- Looking at computers as machines able to carry on tasks that are described in a simple language enables learners to better understand how these machines work and how they are built. From this hypothesis, a new e-learning material on Computer Fundamentals has been built. This material has been used for corresponding courses within the Computer Engineering and Telecommunication Technologies degree programs. In this paper this material is presented as well as its impact on student learning. Despite of finding it somewhat long and, indeed, with not enough examples, the results from the first semester of its usage show that students (particularly, those with greater academic performance) value the new materials and what have learned with them positively.
