Method for the integration of the didactic strategy model in virtual learning platforms in the university context: A mechanism that takes into account the professor’s work

Abstract

The Learning Management Systems (LMS) have brought great benefits and changes in the way teachers and students interact in the teaching-learning process. However, it is evidenced that the LMSs are not capturing the professor’s intentions to perform his work as a teacher, but they focus on providing technology; although useful, it makes the professor’s work remain in the background. Likewise, the fact that the LMSs do not supply intuitive mechanisms for the customization of the teaching-learning process considering learning styles was also identified. Having in mind these detected problems, this article pretends to contribute with a possible solution through a method that allows the inclusion of a visual model of activity sequences defined as the didactic strategy model in LMS, so that the resources offered by the LMS are exploited, and the professor can focus on his work and the students’ needs. The method is implemented through a concept test in the Moodle platform.
