QUALITY INTERACTION IN DISTANCE LEARNING PROCESSES. BEYOND EMERGENTIAL EDUCATION
Abstract
Distance learning provides extraordinary opportunities to allow access to as large a number of students and reduce the cost of delivering lessons. Furthermore, if used well, it can be considered as a means to improve the quality of teaching/learning processes. However, the challenge for universities is to overcome the emergency approach that was adopted following the COVID-19 crisis and to support university thanks to an adequate and competent planning of teaching activities.
The theme of interaction in the framework of digital teaching that characterizes this intervention arises from the reflection on some characteristics of quality distance learning. It intends to focus above all on the importance of investing in the professional development of university teachers. The intent is to assume a systemic logic in the design of ecosystems designed specifically to support students in their learning paths.
