Creating a MOOC to Develop Information Skills during the Coronavirus Pandemic
Reyes-Lillo, Danilo; Hernandez-Garrido, Carlos
Education for Information, v36 n3 p339-343 2020
The global COVID-19 pandemic has demanded new strategies and, at the same time, granted new opportunities for the university regarding community engagement. Online education has become a challenge for all universities and libraries around the world. In this context, the Universidad Viña del Mar (Chile), articulating a collaboration between its library and the Department of Educational Technology, has worked on a MOOC for the development of informational skills, considering the possibilities of using these types of technologies to develop skills openly free of charge. This article discusses the process that the Universidad Viña del Mar used to design MOOCs for the development of information skills during the period of confinement of the population resulting from the containment measures that governments have taken against COVID-19.
