Abstract:
Introduction:Given our commitment to innovation in University teaching, the current project aims to create and design a blog of the Master Degree in Human Nutrition (University of Granada) as part of the Curricular Practices Subject. This type of blogs will promote active learning simultaneously developing transversal competencies through the use of technology.
Objectives:
The main objective of this project is to create and design an innovative teaching methodology adapted to the present time, as part of the Master Degree in Human Nutrition contents. The development of the blog
(i) will keep the students involved in the creation of informative knowledge based on scientific literature,
(ii) will promote the ability to synthesize and analyze information and,
(iii) will encourage teamwork and coordination to achieve a common goal.
Methodology:
Students enrolled in the Curricular Practices Subject (12 ECTS) of the Master Degree in Human Nutrition (University of Granada) have participated in the creation and design of a blog using the institutional platform https://blogs.ugr.es/, within the Innovation Teaching Project entitled "Alumni-blogs as a new internship format and learning tool for the Master Degree in Human Nutrition" (code 22-150) which was financed by the FIDO Plan 2022-24 at the University of Granada. The generation of blog content (post) were based on novel high-quality manuscripts (i.e., systematic or narrative reviews and original research articles) indexed in scientific databases such as PubMed, ENFISPO, GERIÓN, COCHRANE LIBRARY, CINAHL, LILACS or DIALNET, and published during the last 5 years.
Results:
The main results derived from this project can be found in: https://blogs.ugr.es/masternutricionhumana/. The students did not only pass the Curricular Practices Subject in the present 2022-2023 academic year, but also acquired skills related to knowledge transference. These competencies will be highly useful for their professional development since they will be able to create new blogs related to different biomedical fields.
Discussion: The implementation of this kind of blogs have achieved new advances in postgraduate teaching based on innovative techniques. Moreover, the publication of blog post derived from scientific sources will facilitate attractive, novel and circular information transfer between students, teachers and the general population.
