This course was first taught in Winter 1996. Original development of this course was funded by a Higher Education Technology Initiative Grant with support from the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library. This course was created to assist college and university students in learning to gather information for research. Anyone is free to use these lessons for independent learning. Registered students will complete a series of assignments, quizzes and a research project. The lessons were written by Utah academic librarians, and Utah resources are emphasized. While resources and information access may vary, the research skills learned will be useful everywhere. Knowing how to use information resources will be helpful to you for the rest of your life.

Los Entornos Virtuales de Aprendizaje son programas informáticos que favorecen el aprendizaje facilitando la comunicación entre sus usuarios. Los programas de software libre permiten crear un entorno modular propio con una rápida puesta en servicio. Moodle es una plataforma de aprendizaje de software libre, basada en principios pedagógicos del constructivismo y del construccionismo, según los cuales el alumno es el responsable de su propio aprendizaje y el tutor deja de ser el transmisor de conocimientos para convertirse en el guía del alumno en este proceso, todo ello dentro de un entorno que facilita la comunicación de todos los participantes. En esta ponencia explicamos cómo se ha llevado a cabo la formación de usuarios desde la plataforma Moodle en la Biblioteca de la Universidad de Málaga: la formación virtual en el Plan de Formación de Usuarios, los primeros pasos con Moodle, qué ofrece la plataforma al tutor y al alumno, diseño y desarrollo de un curso virtual, y la evaluación de la formación con Moodle.
