Abstract

L’obiettivo di questo contributo è quello di descrivere la realizzazione di un corso online e il suo sviluppo successivo, focalizzandosi sulla valutazione da parte dei partecipanti (educatori e studenti educatori nel settore delle scienze medico-sanitarie) rispetto alle loro competenze digitali. I dati raccolti attraverso delle interviste semi-strutturate (n=11), sono stati analizzati con un’analisi del contenuto di tipo induttiva. I partecipanti a seguito del corso hanno dichiarato che la loro capacità di usare applicazioni digitali è cresciuta, così come la loro capacità critica di riflettere sull’uso delle tecnologie nell’insegnamento. Il feedback dato dai tutor nel corso, così come le attività di tipo collaborativo con i pari, sono state giudicate positivamente. Tra i suggerimenti per migliorare le future edizioni del corso, i partecipanti hanno indicato la diminuzione del carico di contenuti e l’aumento della dimensione di comunità e di quei fattori che sono fondamentali per l’apprendimento, ma anche per il lavoro.  Quanto appreso da quest’esperienza si può applicare alla formazione iniziale e continua degli educatori nel settore delle scienze medico-sanitarie.
