E-learning is a new and rapidly evolving discipline. Particularly, e-learning environments have become a topic of research and study. This paper presents an investigation related to e-learning and the development of virtual learning environment (WebINFO) made by an interdisciplinary team at the University of La Plata. Some experiences within university scope using this kind of technology are also presented.

Background Cardiac tumors in infants and children are rare. The most common cardiac tumor is rhabdomyoma, which may be associated with tuberous sclerosis. However, not all cardiac rhabdomyomas are pathognomonic for tuberous sclerosis, and not all congenital cardiac tumors are rhabdomyomas. During the prenatal period, early cardiac tumor detection provides important information about fetal wellbeing, delivery planning, and necessary postnatal care. Case presentation We report a 36-year-old African American pregnant women. At 32 weeks 5 days gestational age, the male fetus had a fetal echocardiogram due to fetal arrhythmia. The fetal echocardiogram showed two small echogenic, RV apex and septal masses, suspicious of rhabdomyomas. After a routine pregnancy and a normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (39 weeks 1 day), the male baby was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit for further monitoring and postnatal evaluation. Conclusions Rhabdomyomas are extremely rare and unique tumors. These tumors are very dangerous, but they usually regress after birth. During the prenatal period, early cardiac tumor detection provides important information about fetal wellbeing, delivery planning, and necessary postnatal care. We present this case to share our findings with our pediatric colleagues. Although a rarely reported case, we hope this cardiac rhabdomyoma case report and literature review can increase cardiac tumor awareness.

Este trabajo se propone la implementación de talleres de práctica en la Web que involucren los actores educativos (docentes y agentes tutoriales virtuales como supervisores y guías que monitorean el aprendizaje), los usuarios del sistema (alumnos, pares) y los contenidos y saberes culturales involucrados (actividades, evaluaciones, contexto de aprendizaje, características de las disciplinas). Objetivos de la investigación: - Estudiar la vinculación entre las tecnologías digitales y las teorías del diseño instruccional. - Analizar los procesos cognitivos que son necesarios para facilitar el acercamiento entre novatos y expertos a través de la recreación de expertos tutelares de diferentes disciplinas. - Analizar las posibilidades de creación de entornos de aprendizaje multimedia que integren más de un área de conocimiento. - Desarrollar un prototipo en modalidad taller aplicable a la articulación Escuela Media y Universidad en la disciplina Informática.
