Contextualization of the distance studies of the faculty of engineering of the Alonso de Ojeda University

Abstract

This research refers to the different characteristics identified in the teachers of the Fac-ulty of Engineering for the teaching-learning process in the distance learning modality. The process is evidenced in the integration of learning and knowledge technologies for the aforementioned modality, when the teacher has a diversity of cases of distance stu-dents in different curricular units of the Faculty of Engineering. In this way, it is as-sumed as an objective to contextualize the Distance Studies of the Faculty of Engineer-ing of the Alonso de Ojeda University. Likewise, it is established in the positivist para-digm, being considered as a descriptive, field, non-experimental, transectional research. The population consisted of 25 virtual teachers of the Faculty of Engineering, as a sam-ple we worked with 12 teachers belonging to the School of Computer Engineering who have applied the design of digital content, using digital tools and resources, all with the purpose of allowing students the learning process to search, manipulate, contrast and share information; supported by participation, cooperation and creativity that provides learning in digital environments. The use of Moodle as a virtual learning environment is mainly evidenced, and alternative tools are used for the exchange of information and the evaluation process such as: Email, Edmodo and Academic Blog.
