Abstract

This article discusses, from a socio-constructivist perspective, some notes for the theoretical revision of the progress on the use of technology in higher education. The emphasis resides in creating a communication and elaborations of the academic topics, reformulating the classes and turning them into an agora or forum where it is possible to work remotely. During the master classes, university teachers talk about certain topics for about 90, 180 or even 240 minutes. Question from students have place at end of the lecture, rarely during the same. Any possibility of knowledge exchange among teacher-student is limited to that moment. Any professor possesses a much great knowledge and the possibilities of articulation among concepts that exceed the presentation of any topic. The duration of the classes and its format restricts the display of the academics themes. We suggest a dynamic transformation of the practical and theorical classes in order to generate an inversion of those spaces. The proposal is to present transmedia contents articulated with the use of networks, that way the possibilities of ownership and production of knowledge are greatly increased.
