Estrategias para el empoderamiento digital y la integración de universidades con sectores clave para la sociedad Colombiana

Abstract

Introduction. The University of La Guajira (UNIGUAJIRA) reports that the university community rarely uses tutoring and video conferencing software, arguing that this institution does not have adequate infrastructure for the use of such technologies, which limits not only lifelong learning And reflective but also the ability to produce computer resources using multimedia material and virtual environments. Objective. This research proposes a set of digital empowerment strategies necessary for university education in this 21st century, aimed at strengthening the integration of the university with key sectors of Colombian society. Materials and methods. Under a research-action methodology, a diagnostic analysis was carried out on accessibility, integration, equity and employment management as dimensions of digital empowerment. Information was collected on the same through a questionnaire applied to a sample of 125 teachers of the University of La Guajira. Results. Teachers reported a very low level in regard to the implementation of the mentioned dimensions. Consequently, a proposal for digital empowerment strategies is developed to try to solve the problem. Conclusions: It is concluded that this proposal is consistent since it combines the programmatic contents with technological aspects that are primordial for the socioeconomic transformation of the country within a globalized world.
