Virtualization of educational proposals or online education as a pedagogical model?


Despite the numerous advances in times of the pandemic that include the need for "virtualization" of on site educational proposals, which are achieving very good results, it is of interest - as a suggestion - to "think" of the role of online education as a much broader concept.

The importance of online education to reach audiences far from academic centers has been highlighted a lot. Far from denying its importance, it seems necessary but not sufficient.

Identifying the "strengths" of virtual education that articulates its different dimensions represents an additional challenge.

At the same time, there is a need to ask ourselves about what it is to be a good teacher in "virtual environments" and if the capacities and attitudes are similar or different from those of a teacher in face-to-face contexts.

Integrate knowledge from evidence added to experience in the field. A good dose of "passion" for "teaching" - without losing the capacity and the power to deconstruct knowledge - as well as
being open to perceiving new and different sources of inspiration ...

Thanks for your attention!!
