“…Thereupon there have been created more and more extensive and developed databases. Due to that, the option for an impact on the didactic process expands (if we use multimedia and Internet tools properly) (Mehrabi & Masoumeh, 2012). The utilisation of platforms, such as Moodle, and simulation programs (which are used as tools which substitute or complete courses at universities), is getting more and more common.…”

In today’s world, the utilisation of modern information technology is becoming increasingly common in educational process – not only at primary and secondary school level, but most of all, at university level. The present article is a proposition of the implementation of information technology as a complement of microbiological laboratories. These classes are, most of all, practical, so a tweak of programs and simulations forms a prominent challenge for an academic. A student, who participates in laboratories, achieves specified abilities, however, he or she does not always have an opportunity to preserve them. In the thesis, there is presented a proposition of innovations, implemented into the educational process, which are a result of a long-time educational practice in terms of educating on the university level. Inasmuch as a complex process of teaching and learning (complete with concurrent components, which qualify its didactic effectiveness) is a subject matter of general didactics, the utilisation of information technology may form an excellent complement of laboratories. The utilisation of such solutions helps students to preserve the practical skills, which they acquire in laboratories. The emphasis is on simulation programs, and the open-source learning management system Moodle, which are considered as educational tools which have a relevant impact on the tenor of learner’s cognitive processing. Taking into consideration the advantages of these tools, and the commonness of modern information technology, the authors indicated a large universality of this medium, and its usefulness in the problem and empirical teaching. The presented group of software may bring a significant contribution to the development, the desirability, and the increase of absorption in vocational training. The ponderations are based on the basis of the cognitive theory and the idea of constructive education.

“…This platform allows the exchange of information among users geographically dispersed, through mechanisms of synchronous (chats) and asynchronous communication (discussion forums) (Mehrabi & Abtahi, 2012). In a functional perspective, it has easily configurable features, allowing the creation of student assessment processes (quizzes, online tests and surveys), as well as managing their tasks with their timetable (Itmazi, Megías, Paderewski, & Guiérrez, 2005); besides offering a wide variety of complementary tools to support the TL process.…”

This paper presents and discusses the results of a study carried out with professors of the University of Aveiro, Portugal (UA), which aim is to characterize their acceptance of Moodle. The data were collected through the application of a questionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model. In general, the professors expressed a positive attitude towards the items that measure the Perceived Ease of Use, the Perceived Usefulness, the Attitude Toward Using and the Social Influence. There were defined groups of professors based on gender, scientific area and age group, and statistical tests were performed. Although the majority of the items did not show any statistical significant differences between the groups, probably revealing that the use of Moodle is already widespread in the teaching and learning process at UA, it was possible to identify some differences, mainly with respect to gender and scientific area.

En relación con este último, las plataformas para el desarrollo de cursos en los AVA se dividen en dos: las gratuitas, como Moodle, y las que requieren la compra de licencias para su uso como Blackboard (Mehrabi y Masoumeh, 2012;Valenzuela y Pérez, 2013). Otras herramientas que no fueron creadas con fines educativos, pero que en la actualidad son utilizadas para la gestión de AVA, son los blogs y las wikis.…”

KeywordsVirtual learning environments, bibliometric study, evidencebased in education, qualitative content analysis, information and comunication technologies. Palavras chaveAmbientes virtuais de aprendizagem, estudo bibliométrico, educação baseada na evidência, análise de conteúdo qualitativa, tecnologias da informação e a comunicação. Palabras ClaveAmbientes virtuales de aprendizaje, estudio bibliométrico, pedagogía basada en la evidencia, tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, análisis de contenido cualitativo. ResumenLa presente investigación analizó, desde la perspectiva de la pedagogía basada en la evidencia (PBE), un conjunto de estudios publicados entre 2003-2013 en el tema de los ambientes virtuales de aprendizaje (AVA) y su impacto en el campo educativo. Para realizar el estudio, se utilizó una base de datos de alcance regional. A partir de la información obtenida se realizó un análisis bibliométrico y otro de contenido cualitativo, mediante la utilización de paquetes de software especializado. De un total de 91 artículos se determinó que solo 3 de ellos presentaban resultados consistentes con los criterios de la PBE. Se evidenció que los estudios en este campo de conocimiento deben propender por la inclusión de metodologías de investigación rigurosas e instrumentos fiables y validados que permitan dar cuenta de la eficacia y eficiencia de los métodos implementados. AbstractA set of researches focused on Virtual Learning Environments and their impact on education, published between 2003-2013, was analyzed From an EvidenceBased Pedagogy perspective. To fulfil this purpose we used a regional database. Based on the information collected, a bibliometric study and a qualitative content analysis were done by means of a specialized software. From ninety one (91) papers, only three (3) of them fulfilled the Evidence-Based Pedagogy criteria. It was also found that researches in this field of knowledge require more rigorous scientific methodologies and the use of validated instruments in order to demonstrate efficiency and efficacy.
