DEVELOPING DIGITAL SKILLS TO SOLVE INFORMATION PROBLEMS THROUGH A MOOC

The study reported here is part of a macro study, which seeks to identify digital competences developed by students and teachers participating in the program MiCompu.Mx in the states of Tabasco, Colima and Sonora in Mexico. This paper presents the experience of a currently ongoing implementation of a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) addressed to teachers and principals that aims to develop digital skills to solve information problems. The objective of the study is to identify the impact of MOOC in developing the following digital skills: search and select information, organize and process information, to communicate what they have learned and projects planning. A mixed methodology is being implemented, and include a pre-test and post-test to measure the digital skills before and after the MOOC and the analysis of documents to evaluate projects planning. Results are expected to shed a development of digital skills to solve information problems in teachers and administrators, skills that can be transferred at their schools to their students.
