1er ciclo de seminarios de capacitación: tecnología, diseño instruccional y pedagogía
Edición 01
What is an instructor-led online course?
The online instructor-led courses are offered in a personalized mode with a limited number of participants per class. Start and finish dates are clearly marked. Besides the online tools used for interaction in the virtual environment, courses provide students with continuous support from a technical assistant, the tutor and a program coordinator, who are experts in the course topics, and are able to offer effective feedback in all course activities and promote relevant discussion.

ABOUT THIS COURSE
Acompáñanos en este ciclo de seminarios junto a Stella Porto -
Desde el grupo BID hemos creado la iniciativa #Movingonline BID, la cual consiste en apoyar la transición de la formación presencial a la formación en línea. Como parte de la iniciativa vamos a desarrollar este ciclo de 4 seminarios donde se abordarán temáticas conceptuales específicas. Los siguientes temas fueron seleccionados a partir de las necesidades expresadas en encuestas de los diferentes cursos y comentarios vertidos en los chat del ciclo de Webinar de los jueves:
- Que necesito saber para elegir un LMS para mi curso y estudiantes.
- Cómo promover el aprendizaje activo.
- Las diferentes presencias del tutor/a en un curso online.
- Evaluar y calificar: diferencias y alcances.
AUDIENCE OF THE COURSE
COURSE STRUCTURE
Durante esta sesión conversaremos sobre los principales aspectos a considerar, como mi audiencia, características de mi curso, alcance, para seleccionar un sistema de gestión de aprendizaje online o LMS como generalmente se identifica. Vamos a revisar las funcionalidades de algunas plataformas, las más usadas y analizar en líneas generales que necesito saber para elegir una u otra.
Cuando uno diseña un curso es importante tener claridad respecto a la alineación de los diferentes componentes con respecto a los objetivos de aprendizajes. Tener un eje de aprendizaje congruente, de manera que el curso plantee actividades y recursos que lleve a los estudiantes, de manera ordenada, hacia el logro de los objetivos planteados. Vamos a conversar como lograr esto, considerar que tipo de actividades son más apropiadas para cada nivel de objetivo y ver cómo desarrollar las mismas de forma tal que sean didácticas y atractivas haciendo uso de las herramientas que ofrecen las tecnologías.
En los entornos de aprendizaje virtuales, el papel del tutor o tutora es determinante para el éxito de la actividad formativa centrada en los/as estudiantes. El tutor/a pasa de ser transmisor de conocimiento a facilitador del aprendizaje, promoviendo y orientado por medio de la construcción del producto, resultado del desarrollo individual y la interacción social. Durante este seminario vamos a conversar sobre los diferentes tipos de presencia (social, cognitiva, docente) en un curso online. Las particularidades y características de cada una, las técnicas para motivar e impulsar una interacción dinámica y fluida y algunos tips y buenas prácticas.
Durante esta sesión conversaremos sobre qué se entiende por evaluar y calificar, dos acciones que por lo general se confunden en la práctica. Veremos los alcances de cada una, identificaremos las características, principios y atributos de la evaluación tradicional y la diferencia con la evaluación auténtica, con el fin de reflexionar sobre este tipo de evaluación para los cursos online.
