Resumen / Abstract
Facing COVID-19 pandemic developments the educational landscape compelled institutions worldwide to pivot towards remote learning in a fast pace. The DigiCampus project, implemented at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), addressed this shift by developing digital content creation courses to bolster the digital competencies of educators and students. The central question guiding this initiative was how to effectively enhance remote teaching capabilities amidst emergency circumstances. The project aimed to equip participants with skills in educational social media content creation, podcasting, audiovisual production, and the use of remote teaching tools. The methodology involved a blend of synchronous and asynchronous learning, utilizing Moodle for content delivery and interaction, offering courses with practical assignments and regular feedback. Significant engagement was recorded, with 517 participants enrolled and 213 successfully completing the courses. The project faced challenges such as technological barriers, maintaining participant engagement, and adapting traditional content for digital platforms. Findings indicated that the courses effectively improved participants digital literacy and teaching capabilities, critical for navigating the remote education landscape. Although the number of certified graduates wasn't that high (still inside the national average in remote education dropout), the number of synchronous and asynchronous views in the courses was 1,895, which demonstrates great interest in the content made available by our teachers, even though the appeal for the certificate remained in the background, providing a model for similar future endeavors.
