ABSTRACT

Introduction: An educational platform was created in a preclinical subject of the dental surgery major of the University of Concepción, in order to innovate the teaching methods and to promote a more fluid transfer of practical skills to the students. Objective: To assess how students perceive the application of innovation in information and communication technologies. Methods: A Web application was implemented using a Moodle-like platform, which provides a blended learning environment with easy-to-read material, strengthened with audio, image, animated and video files. Results: The students interact in forums, tutorials and chats, generating a collaborative learning environment and obtaining, as a result, a platform that transcends a mere repository of written material or theoretical information. Conclusions: The implementation of the platform favors the student significant learning as he or she is directly involved in the process, integrating knowledge, with autonomous work capacity, and optimizing time.
