Adaptation of subjects under bimodal approaches. The case of the National University of Quilmes

Abstract

This work emphasizes the application of more flexible "class" delivery models for students belonging to face-to-face courses at Quilmes National University.

Although class delivery in the face-to-face modality is satisfactory, the inclusion of technological devices in the classroom made it feasible to adapt subjects to a modality delivery which contains virtual content, means and resources at the same time.

First of all, the development of the bimodality alternative to the traditional model of education is carefully analyzed. Although “bimodality” is already a frequently used term, the various definitions provided by different authors display their own particularities. However, all these definitions agree that it is a type of mixed learning, more flexible and which better integrates resources coming from both face-to-face and virtual modes to be applied in a single model.

Summarizing, this work tries to become a constructive contribution for an improvement in the application of the technological resources belonging to the university, for a later development of virtual theoretical and practical subjects.
