The differents uses of the technology in the university subjects

Every year the faculty comes to change, the academics, the structure, the books, etc, and with this, the use of technology and this integration in the faculty.
In the coming, the faculty didn’t have computers, internet, virtual books, the use of power point, etc; this only used traditional form for give the information.
The main benefits with this advance are the students that today can use this for to have better connection between their and all the faculty.

This year, the students had better communication with the academics, because now there is a virtual platform that has different tools: forum, upload class and papers, calendar, expose the notes, etc. This allows, for example, that the academics give the information of the week and the all programs in the year, upload the class for all the students, give private and public information, etc. This is very useful to develop a subject, because teachers can guide the virtual platform according to requirements that they have. Also the students can give their opinion about the subjects or the academics.

One example that the technology is very fun and useful to learn is the MIIM (Modulo Integrado Interdisciplinario y Multiprofesional). MIIM is a subject created this year with the object of analyzing fictional/real clinic case. The dynamic of this subject is: there are different virtual persons (this could the real people or a people impersonating this): the patient (the patient or a family of this), the different health professional (physical therapy, midwife, etc). The students are organized in groups for to approve the case. The idea is recreate a real case, and the group has the role of analyzing the case, give information to the patient, resolve the case while this evolves, etc. The students have different tools for doing this, for example: forum, a blog (only for communicate between patient or other health professional), upload papers, etc

Finally, the advanced method allows that the students access information didactically, have more tools and possibility of connection and knowledge, create a channel between the course and the teachers and between students, obtain information between different careers in the faculty, have better and updated information, etc. This opens the door to a “big world” that people are knowing and maybe in some years more, this will return to change.
