Plataforma Moodle y la aplicación WhatsApp, recursos didácticos en tiempos de COVID-19

Abstract

Despite the advantages that digital technologies offer to the teaching-learning process there are still limitations in their use, which was evidenced, when online education was assumed as an alternative to continue training processes in times of Covid-19. The objective of this article is to analyze the usefulness of the Moodle didactic platform during the sanitary crisis caused by COVID-19 and how this experience has served for its better use in post-pandemic face-to-face courses. For which a descriptive study with mixed focus was carried out, based on hermeneutical, analytical-synthetic and statistical methods. In addition, a survey was applied to the 16 students of the second year of the Sociocultural Management for Development career at the University of Granma. The results obtained indicate that regardless of the initial difficulties and uncertainties, the students quickly adopted online education for the development of the teaching-learning process, achieving, not only the fulfillment of the objectives of the curriculum, but also the quality of learning. They currently advocate maintaining the experience of using ICT in the post-pandemic face-to-face modality.
