DEVELOPMENT OF A VIRTUAL PLATFORM ADAPTED TO THE PRACTICAL SUBJECTS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PHYSIOTHERAPY DEGREE

Virtual learning is becoming one of the main focuses for European Higher Education Area (EHEA) since most of the European universities are now undertaking new challenges in this field. This perspective promotes the students’ autonomous learning and enhances their instrumental competences. In this way, students are able to develop their computer basic abilities and improve their strategies of management of data.

In the following paper we propose a virtual platform adapted to the subjects with an important practical content in the context of Physiotherapy studies. We have designed a hypertextual structure where text, graphics or videos are related among themselves. According to our purposes, the main utilities of ICT are: to facilitate the possibility of working in small groups, to improve the motivation of all students, and to develop integration of visual and oral thinking.
