E-learning como agente de cambio. Diseño pedagógico de un proceso de formación

Abstract

This paper presents the development and a summary of the results of a Training Experience implemented in the University of Extremadura. This experience is the innovative design of an online Postgraduate Course for Secondary School Teachers. The research team, which has been committed to online teaching for longer than a decade, began an innovative experience to test their singular conception of e-learning. So, a continuous process of group-negotiation began in order to design a course where the educational method should be the main part of the course. The design is innovative because of the tutorial approach and the learning evaluation process (as the quality of the evaluation is expected to be high although this is just implemented online). At present the results of the experience are being studied, however some strong and weak points have been already found out, so they might guide our teaching methods in order to get good practices for online learning.
