Information and Communication Technologies in Education: the Teaching Challenges in an Undergraduate University Course

Abstract

This article presents a case study report based on the analysis of a virtual education experience in the Oral and Written Communication course at Universidad Autónoma de Occidente (Cali, Colombia), administered in the platform WebCT. The aim was to establish a relationship between the interactions built throughout the course and the course design. Data was gathered by means of a qualitative and quantitative record of student interactions along the course implementation. The findings suggest that because its interactive nature, a successful ICT-based course calls for critical revision of course design and implementation.
