Overview
This micro-credential trains students in the use of interactive educational communication in university teaching, promoting experimentation with content editors to develop teaching resources independently and creatively. It also facilitates the use of content organization, management, and creation tools available at the University of La Laguna.
To train students in the potential of interactive educational communication in university teaching, experimenting with content editors in order to learn how to develop teaching resources using autonomously and creatively the different tools for organizing, managing and creating content available at the ULL.
