Abstract

CLALN03The AulaNet environment was developed in a way that teachers could concern themselves about producing educational content while the environment manages the learners' navigation for them. The course on Information Technology Applied to Education is wholly taught via the Internet through the AulaNet environment. The purpose of the course is to get students to learn to work with information technology as a group, turning them into Web- based educators. The class has been conducted since 2002. This paper reports how the AulaNet was configured and how its services aided in the creation and application of the course during the period from 2002 to 2001. The result of this work is an experience in which it has been possible to analyze development costs, updating and application, how to encourage learner participation and a form of assessment of the learning experience based on the cooperative activities.
