Digital learning ecology for global citizenship education

Abstract

In the context of globalization and the interest of many higher education institutions in carrying out internationalization activities, this work presents the development and results of an educational experience for global citizenship in which the concept of digital ecology of learning was used for its description. The case study focuses on a postgraduate course in education from a university in Brazil, taught through face-to-face and virtual sessions. The distance sessions were developed using synchronous videoconferences with guest professors from nine Ibero-American countries. The objective of these sessions was to learn about the progress of educational technologies in each of their countries, based on the concepts of global citizenship during the development of the classes. The experience made it clear that, although the contents and the learning environment were the same, each student developed their own themes supported by the proposed digital learning ecology, according to their particular interests and context.
