Knowledge construction today is intrinsically linked to the use of technological aids. Synchronous and asynchronous tools such as blogs, chats, wikis, podcasts, forums, videoconferences, and social networks such as Facebook and Twitter facilitate the generation of content or micro-content that is used in education to aid the instruction and training process and help users acquire intellectual abilities and techniques, as well as attitudes and habits.
Show moreA new source for constructing knowledge is appearing that conditions the intended message, changes the roles of the sender and receiver, and especially emphasizes the importance of participation, collaboration, cooperation, interaction, commitment, connection with reality, and significant learning.
Theories such as constructivism focus the construction of knowledge on the use of technologies as support for the teaching and learning process and on the performance of activities in which students can immediately access unlimited information while controlling their own learning.
The keys to the process of knowledge creation make direct reference to the need to share it and to the existence of systems that promote it and enable it to be implemented in environments where everyone can interact and experiment, fostering democratization, access to information, knowledge, and the storage and management of information. Open-education, free-access resources are consistent with all of these characteristics and are useful resources for teaching, learning and conducting educational research.
