Abstract

From the transformations that ICT has caused in all spheres of society, great importance has been attributed to the digital literacy of teachers in schools of hospitality and tourism, both internationally and in our territory. However, this formation has not been addressed repeatedly and systemically, that is, courses and training are planned, but isolated and disconnected, without considering development possibilities such as collaborative learning among teachers. The aim of this work is to develop a continuous improvement system for the digital literacy of teachers, so that the teacher can receive continuous organized training, with a collaborative approach, in line with the rapid advancement of ICT. This system was evaluated by 14 experts who found it suitable to fulfill its purpose. In addition, we discuss one of the training activities undertaken, collaborative mentoring. Finally, the implementation of the system until 2015 is assessed with highlighs on the good judgment of teachers as regards organization and implementation.
