Course in Environments for Teaching and Learning with ICT

MODALITY:Online

DATES:Enrollment open

TERM OF COMPLETION: 3 months from enrollment

DURATION:150 hours, 6 ECTS

ICTs in Education have given rise to new challenges not only in the forms of production, representation, dissemination and access to knowledge, but also in creating new conditions that offer the possibility of building innovative learning environments.

It is a new teaching based on synchronous and asynchronous communication, with innovative communication and collaboration tools that respond to the emerging needs of an educational system that flees from traditional patterns.
