Pedagogical competencies of university professors for the production of quality materials for distance education mediated by ICTs

Abstract

Pedagogical competencies of University professors for the production of quality materials for distance learning through ICTs. In Higher Education, distance learning has transformed the teacher’s role and added a new one: that of content expert, a person responsible for producing learning materials.
We have researched to what extent professors of face-to-face courses possess the necessary competences to perform as content experts. We created a taxonomy of quality competences to evaluate the competences of a group of thirty professors, using the pedagogic, communicative and evaluative features of their materials as indicators. The results may make a contribution to the
education of university professors as content experts
