In today’s world, there is a wide range of technologies, tools, and online resources available that can help enhance students’ learning in digital environments. However, it is important to carefully select those that are most appropriate to achieve the desired learning outcomes. For online teaching and learning to be effective, there must be a strong alignment between the intended learning outcomes and the tools that will help students achieve these outcomes.
On May 26 at 15:00 hrs (UTC), the University of Galileo (Guatemala), a partner in the PROF-XXI project, will host a panel discussion titled ‘Technologies and Tools for the Digital Era.’
This panel will feature the participation of renowned experts from higher education institutions who will focus on the available tools for the learning process in the digital era.
