Abstract(s)

igital society requires mastery of certain literacies that are not always developed in today's citizens. In this article, we present an exploratory case study of a master's degree, with a working methodology in blended learning. The master's degree aims to empower educators regarding the use of digital technologies and the creation of digital educational resources in order to innovate pedagogical practices. In this study we sought to assess whether the objectives of the master's program were met and whether the students felt that their skills in the pedagogical use of ICT were strengthened. The analyzed data were obtained through questionnaires and participant observation. We were able to conclude that by attending this master degree, students were overall satisfied with its functioning by recognizing that their skills in media, digital and information literacy were strengthened. Regarding the main advantages of working in blended learning, we emphasize the fact that it allows greater flexibility in access to content, in managing the learning path and in the extension of the training environment that enables collaborative and cooperative networks. Regarding the present times we resorted to a knowledge sharing methodology, by inviting experts to promote thematic workshops open to the community.
