Abstract:
In the current scope of the Bachelor and Master degrees adapted to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), a continuous pedagogical innovation is essential, as well as the renovation of the teaching media. This process must be carried out in different areas, looking for students to acquire greater autonomy in their learning process. An appropriate strategy is to provide the student with the most appropriate tools to delve into the main concepts covered in the different subjects, so that they become more attractive. In this methodology the way in which the students learn is as important as the knowledge acquired. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are a privileged instrument to promote and facilitate a meaningful learning. The use of multimedia resources and virtual learning environments has already been adopted in numerous higher education institutions as part of a mixed learning process. This paper describes an intervention action in the classroom based on Open Educational Resources (OERs) with two clearly differentiated phases of action. In the first one, a process of identification of physical concepts that are difficult to understand for the students has been carried out, followed by an analysis of the results obtained from previous diagnosis. The identification of concepts that are difficult to understand by students is a key element to achieve constructive learning and allows to develop intervention actions designed from an update of the concept of tutoring. Subsequently, an intervention in the classroom was carried out to improve the understanding of these concepts by choosing the most appropriate methodology for the difficulties that arise from the first analysis. One of the proposed methodologies is the updating of the concept of academic tutoring through the realization of a YouTube channel to host video tutorials or reinforcement electronic pills, adding the advantages that these 2.0 tools provide: content accessible at any time and place and as many times as necessary, compatible with ubiquitous learning in the new emerging learning environments. In this project, it is proposed to evaluate the learning model of the student and the difficulties found in its construction, and, based on this, adapt the teaching methodology. This proposal has the benefits associated with m-learning, such as immediate access, interaction and personalization and individualization of learning, since students have an active resource at every moment.Keywords:
