Portal Docente: Especialización y Aprendizaje para la Educación

Education and Learning, Education Technologies, Laureate Educator 0 comments




The following account intends to explain the reasons why “el Portal Docente” (Faculty Development) is a good option to find best practices in sister and higher educational institutions across the globe. It also provides a brief account on networking, one of the best benefits of the online courses and a great way to get in touch with other colleagues working somewhere else in the world. Finally, it mentions some reasons on how influential “el Portal Docente” has been in my current teaching practices.


          A veces con el trajín de nuestras actividades docentes nos quedamos un poco rezagados en nuestro propio desarrollo como profesionales, nuestro deseo de aprender a trasmitir nuestro saber y así contribuir con la creación del conocimiento y destrezas de nuestros estudiantes. Los cursos del Portal Docente de Laureate, cuyos temas educativos y calidad, promueven el aprendizaje en el profesor y le proveen con ideas, estrategias, y destrezas que nos pueden ayudar a modificar nuestro modelo instruccional y creencias educativas.


          “¿Qué se pretende lograr a través del Portal Docente?”, se puede preguntar cualquier instructor universitario. Como docente de la Universidad Latina, quien ahora está conectado con muchos colegas de la Red Laureate, el Portal busca la homogenización de las mejores prácticas y enfoques educativos que han probado ser exitosos en muchos contextos universitarios alrededor del mundo. El Portal Docente, como profesor universitario, me ofreció analizar y profundizar en teorías que han formado mis destrezas como instructor virtual, bimodal y presencial del Siglo XXI; todo esto en un solo lugar. La exposición a otras teorías educacionales me ha permitido la creación de competencias que ahora están entronizadas en el concepto de aprendizaje profundo en los educandos universitarios.


             ¿Qué ha sido lo mejor de los cursos virtuales con o sin la guía de un instructor? Desde mi óptica, muy personal –desde luego-, una experiencia única de los cursos del Portal Docente es la oportunidad de networking (conexiones académicas dentro de las universidades Laureate) con colegas de muchas áreas de estudio en múltiples lugares del orbe. Este networking, aún hoy, me permite compartir prácticas andragógicas con otros docentes en otras latitudes e inclusive experiencias, material en línea, etc. Hemos compartido puntos de vista de forma interdisciplinaria que enriquecen nuestras perspectivas como educadores. Y toda esta exposición a nuevas perspectivas promueven la autocrítica y, por ende, nuestro desarrollo profesional en nuestros campos de acción como instructores.


          ¿Cómo ha cambiado mi práctica docente desde mi vinculación al Portal Docente? Mi experiencia ha sido muy beneficiosa para mis estudiantes y en lo personal, desde luego. Los cursos que he tomado en el Portal Docente me han hecho girar en un ángulo de 180° en mi forma de enseñar. La temática tratada en los cursos del Portal Docente han hecho que mi práctica profesional esté más alineada con la tendencias educativas del Siglo XXI con prácticas bimodales de aprendizaje, con proyectos en mis cursos, y siempre pensando en el estudiante adulto trabajador actual.


          El Portal Docente no es un MOOC que trata de incluir docentes de muchos niveles educativos (primaria, secundaria, comercial, universitaria, etc.); es una ventana hacia la internacionalidad y el intercambio de prácticas educativas con colegas universitarios dentro de la familia Laurte. El fin último de Laureate es promover el aprendizaje de destrezas entre los miembros de nuestras facultades para mejorar nuestro desempeño como docentes y la calidad de aprendizaje entre nuestros estudiantes. Desarrollémonos profesionalmente y alcancemos todos, la satisfacción de guiar a nuestros estudiantes en su aprendizaje y de crear profesionales altamente competentes con todas las destrezas necesarias en este Siglo XXI.

Teaching, the Humble Art of Helping

Laureate Educator, Teaching 0 comments




Teaching, the Humble Art of Helping
Education can be seen as the combination of two key elements that assist the creation of knowledge: 50 % teaching + 50% learning = knowledge. However, how can we have students access the whole 100%? At this point is where the teaching professional turns into a “humble artisan” that will lead his apprentice to achieve a goal, knowledge.


Like the artisan that plans the execution of his art pieces, the teacher guides his student through the learning process. Along the process (i.e. a lesson), the instructor can spot the difficulties a student has and then find a way to help the student overcome that hardship. Likewise, the teacher can identify what the strengths the student has to help him/her develop them much more. To sum up, the identifiable mistakes along with his/her strengths can be of great help to deepen and achieve the course contents and objectives.


The planning of a course takes another color shade in helping students learn. Part of the course planning should include the creation of a class culture that can allow student on-going learning, class after class. A good class culture can host a great deal of debate and exchange of ideas with a teacher-moderator. This healthy way of exchanging ideas can contribute greatly to the creation of a hearty PLN (Personal Learning Network) for each single student in a course.


If teaching is the humble art of helping students to create their knowledge, by making good use of the key components of a good teacher, we all can trigger some good meaningful and ever-lasting learning in each one of our students in the classroom.

If I Had a VLE for my Courses, ...

Laureate Educator, Teaching With Technology, Virtual Learning Environments 0 comments



If I Had a VLE for my Courses

Hypothetically speaking, if I could use the whole potential of the Central Core that Universidad Latina has, a Moodle-like system, I will definitely create a hearty VLE for my students. Due to the fact that it is not 100% functionally at this point, let me fantasize of what I would do once it is at its full best.



At our Central Core I can upload texts, video, audio, etc. But everything is limited to a given amount of gigabytes per teacher. If I had the chance to upload all sorts of material to my courses, I would include interactive PPTs that students could download and work on. This sort of material can suit many kinesthetic students who need to manipulate objects, technology in this case, to achieve learning goals. Videos would be my second choice of elements I would nourish my VLE with. Why videos? The fact that many students are visual learners can guarantee that they will learn much more. The third element I would love to have as part of my courses’ VLE would be audio in podcast format for my aural students. A VLE can help all sort of students with various learning styles.



Having all the above elements in a VLE can be spiced up with other features. Polls sound like a nice tool to find out about student satisfaction and how course VLEs can be improved. Forums are incredible gadgets to be included in courses as well to keep on discussing what is being addressed in class. This can guarantee that introverted students can regain their voice and discuss overtly. A chat room as part of an VLE would simply make it way to create a class culture that could go beyond the boundaries of a room in a university. It could give students the chance to coach it other if needed, or the teacher could do it as well.



Can a VLE help absent students to catch up on their studying? The fact is that students miss class for several reasons, from very personal to medical ones. A VLE can provide students with a tool to work on the very same material covered in class. PPTs, handouts, practices, videos, pictures, and so on can be available to any student who did not show up for class. Although I do not actually use a VLE per se at the university, I created some blogs in which I embedded a blog content bar for students to get the corresponding material per week. Absent student can also catch up, or regular class attendants can go back and review material already covered.


I imagine that the time will come in which all of us teachers at Universidad Latina and at Laureate Universities Network will be fully into using technology and, consequently, VLEs. We just have to get ready for that day to come to cope with the challenges that this new way of virtual learning will bring.

Useful Moodle Features in VLE

Laureate Educator, Moodle, Teaching With Technology, Virtual Learning Environments 1comments



Useful Moodle Features in VLE
Understanding the basic features a virtual learning environment (VLE) should have, Moodle has a series of characteristics that definitely help learners achieve learning goals. What I like particularly about Moodle as a VLE are its functions for information storage, class forums, quiz-like activities, and reflective blogs for participants.



From the point of view of a online course designer, Moodle provides a unique way of storing information. Moodle is an LMS (Learning Management System) that can help curricular developers, course tutors, and students to plan learning as part of PLNs. From a systematic point of view, Moodle allows course participants to work on course tasks and achieve learning objectives at the end of each unit. Consequently, it allows the tutor and course designer to visualize student learning outcomes.
The interaction among course participants is imperative and Moodle as a VLE fosters it. One of the most fruitful experiences of working on an online course is the exchange of ideas, experiences, and links. Just imagine that something like this were absent from a VLE. I must say that we would be defeating the purpose of the “real” virtual learning environment: the exchange among participants to foster critical thinking.
A Moodle go-of-it is its potential to host interactive quiz-like activities. Reading an online text sounds OK, but how about spicing it up with a bit of interactivity? Quiz-like activities are ways to have course participants move towards analysis of the material being presented to them, synthesis of what is being studied in different course units, and self-assess themselves in terms of how much it is being understood by the individual. This is a nice way to reward or challenge students in a virtual course.
Finally, reflective blogs are like the cherries on the icing on the course cake! Reflection is the outermost manifestation of an individual’s analysis, synthesis, and self-assessment, especially if combined with try-it-out activities. The blog is a nice way to hear our inner voice which sometimes is rather silent but paying attention to every single detail we may look over if we do not stop to reflect. A professional reflective blog, in which all of us reflect on our teaching and learning, is a great way to discover one’s beliefs towards many issues we are aware of and care for.




As a LMS learning tool, Moodle is definitely a great system to work with students in higher education. Its unique features and its password-protected access guarantees student and teacher privacy as it actually happens in a real classroom.
