Fundamentos pedagógicos para la creación y producción de recursos educativos abiertos (REA)

Abstract

This article is the result of a research of the Model for the co-creation and production of open educational contents through a virtual platform (Modelo para la cocreación y producción de contenidos educativos abiertos mediante el uso de una plataforma virtual) This model aims towards making a contribution in the strengthening of digital education in the department of Antioquia. The goal of this research was implementing a model for the co-creation and production of open educational contents, REA in Spanish, through the use of a virtual platform. This model, that is the main product of this research, is restricted within three main components: educational, production and technologic, which are aligned through autonomy, interaction, flexibility and mediation as transversal principles that encompasses the creation of open educational contents. The fundamental purpose of this research is promoting an education in which the teaching-studying processes are improved through the REA by making use of technology and the elements necessary for making more productive and efficient contents. At the same time, the study aims to implement its distribution under licenses that allow its re-use, adaptation and transformation without intellectual property restrictions. The educational component, in which an emphasis is made in this article, emerges from the analysis of different theories, strategies and methodologies for teaching and learning that are used in mediated technology through information and communication (CIT). This component of the model is fundamented in connectivism as a learning theory that bases the creation processes of open educational resources.
