Paper Abstract:
|
The University of Castilla-La Mancha has decided to implement the two tools which are considered to be the most
widely-used, the most functional, the easiest and most standard, and the most widely-supported in all the world: WebCT
and Moodle. Against this backdrop, Virtual Campus has emerged: www.campusvirtual.ulcm.es.
This paper is dedicated to the analysis of said tool as a primary mode of e-learning expansion in the university
environment. Defined as an entity which is physical, virtual, administrative, technological and educational, it can be used
to carry out standard educational university activities in accordance with the guidelines set out by the new European
Space for Higher Education. The continual effort to use new technologies throughout the world of higher education has
led to the development of a variety of informational tools which make it possible to support traditional education through
use of the Internet. A great many diverse applications are available, both technologically and in the form of programs,
which satisfy the majority of virtual education needs. New needs continue to present themselves, not only with regard to
the exchange of information and documents, but the complete and integrated management of teaching which is carried
out using virtual environments and the Internet: e-learning. |
