Abstract

Methodologies and learning strategies in blended and online instruction represent the ideal environment for the development of digital skills. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is used to produce, transmit, distribute and organize knowledge among students.This article presents and describes the study carried out within the Foundations subject from CAGIE (Curso de Adaptación al Grado en Ingeniera de Edificación para Arquitectos Técnicos y Aparejadores) at Universidad Europea de Madrid in the 2014-15 academic period. The results suggest that the use of the tools of the virtual campus, both in the performance of activities and in student-student and student-teacher interaction, contributes mainly to the development of two of the areas of digital competence: communication and content creation.
