Abstract

Esta investigación resume la experiencia de formación colaborativa de profesores universitarios que actúan como tutores de sus compañeros. Se planificó e impartió un proceso de formación en tres fases: el objetivo era capacitar a los profesores en el diseño, la práctica y el uso de herramientas TIC de enseñanza-aprendizaje en línea. El taller también pretendía motivar y mejorar el estado emocional de los profesores, dadas las condiciones adversas generadas por el aislamiento debido al cierre de COVID-19. La comunicación y planificación en espacios colaborativos, y las actividades realizadas con e independiente del grupo tutor (equipo con capacidades interdisciplinarias, pedagógicas y técnicas) generaron logros claros y progresivos en los profesores participantes. Se creó un espacio de formación mediante el trabajo colaborativo de grupos heterogéneos de profesores a través de herramientas como Zoom, WhatsApp, una plataforma institucional basada en Moodle y el correo electrónico. A través de estos espacios se construyó el conocimiento de forma colectiva; se animó a los profesores a practicar continuamente nuevas herramientas y se les retó a través de sesiones de formación continua. El proceso fortaleció progresivamente la capacidad de los profesores en el uso de las herramientas TIC, al tiempo que abrió nuevos espacios de comunicación genuina que ayudaron a los profesores a iniciar el nuevo período académico en línea de manera positiva.
