Abstract:
ADA (by its acronym in Spanish, Ambiente Digital de Aprendizaje, an specific type of Virtual Learning Environment) are virtual spaces with content freely available to the general public, designed so that university teachers can learn about alternatives, adopt ideas to design teaching-learning activities mediated by technology or be inspired to propose activities in their subjects with problem-based learning approaches, in projects or with complementary exercises that use computer systems. The content of an ADA for this specific project could be one or more thematic units that are addressed in a subject of a bachelor's study program or postgraduate degree taught at a school, faculty or institute of the UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico).

The work team involved in the development of an ADA is made up of specialist teachers, graphic designers, specialists in didactics, technical-pedagogical design, educational platforms and programming. With the basis and direction of didactic-pedagogical planning, educational activities are designed, technologically adapted to the interaction dynamics of the MOODLE educational platform and subsequently implemented on MOODLE spaces.

The objective of this work is to present good practices and lessons learned in relation to the process carried out during 2023 to enrich MOODLE screens and views, according to the specific needs of each environment, taking advantage of the Bootstrap framework that MOODLE has included natively, to add interactivity and standardize the work of a large team of people with different professional profiles, which can be exported to other MOODLE sites.
