Elaboración de un portafolio electrónico para el desarrollo docente a través de una Unidad Didáctica Virtual

Abstract

Quality teaching is a fundamental concern in universities. The accreditation of teaching staff through quality assurance agencies responds to this commitment. At the University of Deusto, this accreditation is structured on three levels: the accreditation of teaching planning, the accreditation of its implementation and the accreditation in the review and improvement from a collegiality approach. In this paper we focus on the second one. The teaching staff must go through an accreditation assessment by preparing a teaching portfolio. The Teaching Innovation Unit offers workshops in which school coordinators accompany teachers in the preparation of their portfolios. In addition to this face-to-face training, teachers need accessible and up-to-date support documentation. In response to this need, through a teaching innovation project, a Didactic Virtual Unit (DVU) has been developed on the institutional Moodle platform to support face-to-face training. A template has been created and a variety of resources have been included, such as presentations, videos, forums and examples of each of the pieces of evidence to be presented. The results have been very satisfactory in relation to the fulfilment of the established objectives and impact indicators.
