Obstacles in the development of learning ecologies: A challenge for expanded learning in pandemic scenarios

Abstract

The present study, which is based on a Delphi research, aims to highlight the different types of obstacles that have to be taken into account for the proper planning and development of learning ecologies, which are primarily concerned with the integration of multiple contexts (face-to-face, virtual and hybrid), environments (formal, non-formal and informal) and resources for learning, especially ICT. In this way, it could be useful to know the obstacles that prevent taking advantage of the formative opportunities provided by the different ICT-mediated learning ecosystems, whether, for example, to maintain the continuity of formal educational processes through different contexts, such as virtual or hybrid contexts, which in effective practice have been used as an alternative to carry out the training activities that the pandemic prevents from being developed in face-to-face environments.
