Training in digital environments

Abstract

The rapid pace of change in the field of computer science demands that universities offer key technological tools to prepare students for a digitalized environment and reduce the digital divide. The National University of La Matanza has responded to this need through the subject Transversal Computing. This article presents research that evaluates the impact of these tools on the education of students from different degree programs who take the course in a blended-learning format, supported by its own educational platform (MIeL). Data collected through student surveys reveal a positive assessment. At the same time, the changes made to the course format and the incorporation of new technologies for the current semester are detailed. To optimize education and meet the current demands of the digital environment, new technologies such as artificial intelligence and hybrid learning platforms have been integrated
