Abstract

The use of digital information and communication technologies (DICT) by teachers can have an impact on the teaching-learning process. In this context, the outreach project investigated in this study aimed at identifying the use of these technological resources in class, in particular Moodle. Thus, a diagnostic questionnaire has been applied to a sample group of teachers; the results of the questionnaire allowed not only identifying the learning needs of this public, but also to plan and offer workshops to make the use of DICT widespread among them. The results of the 53 answers collected showed how long the respondents have been teaching, how many of them have been trained to use Moodle and what technological resources they use. Based on the identified learning needs, a training course was developed and offered for the participating faculty members, which was later extended to teachers from Basic Education interested in the subject.
