Potential Pedagogical Benefits and Limitations of Multimedia Integrated Desktop Video Conferencing Technology for Synchronous Learning

SUMMARY

As multimedia gradually becomes more and more an integrated part of video conferencing systems, the use of multimedia integrated desktop video conferencing technology (MIDVCT) will open up new educational possibilities for synchronous learning. However, the possibilities and limitations of this technology must be clearly understood so that it can be used to maximize possible pedagogical benefits and reduce possible pedagogical limitations. This paper analyses the process of integrating MIDVCT in a first-year English language course, and offers insights into theoretical underpinnings of multimedia learning from two perspectives: the generative theory of multimedia learning and the cognitive overload theory. The data discussed in this paper have been drawn from a study which took place in a cross institutional setting at Fontys University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands. The data were collected and analyzed according to a qualitative approach.

Métodos: se empleó el método teórico análisis-síntesis en la interpretación de referentes que se localizaron mediante el promotor de búsqueda Google, así como el enfoque sistémico para el comportamiento de la realización de los tipos fundamentales de actividades. La revisión documental del programa de la disciplina Bases Biológicas de la Medicina y las resoluciones vigentes que legislan el trabajo metodológico en la Educación Superior.Resultados: el trabajo metodológico en los diferentes niveles organizativos ofrece diferentes vías para elevar la maestría pedagógica de forma escalonada y debe organizarse como parte de un sistema, que se interrelaciona con las formas propias de este trabajo. Una cultura profesional configurada desde los diferentes niveles de dirección, fomenta el compromiso de colaboración entre los docentes mediante la puesta en práctica del trabajo metodológico institucional y contextualizado en los departamentos.Conclusiones: el trabajo metodológico en el contexto de las Ciencias Básicas Biomédicas constituye uno de los aspectos que influye en la eficacia de la educación médica, una cultura profesional que fomente el compromiso de colaboración entre los docentes mediante su puesta en práctica desde el nivel institucional y contextualizado en losdepartamentos homologa los resultados como parte de una potencialidad alcanzada.ABSTRACTObjective: to assess the significance of methodological work in the educational process of the Basic BiomedicalSciences.Methods: the theoretical analysis-synthesis method was used in the interpretation of referents that were located bythe Google search promoter, as well as the systemic approach to the behavior of the realization of the fundamental types of activities. The documentary review of the program of the Biological Bases of Medicine discipline and the current resolutions that legislate methodological work in Higher Education.Results: the methodological work in the different organizational levels offers different ways to elevate the pedagogical mastery in a staggered way and it must be organized as part of a system, which is interrelated with theproper forms of this work. A professional culture configured from the different levels of management, fosters thecommitment of collaboration among teachers through the implementation of institutional methodological work and contextualized departments.Conclusions: the methodological work in the context of Basic Biomedical Sciences is one of the aspects that influence the effectiveness of medical education, a professional culture that fosters the commitment of collaborationamong teachers through its implementation from the institutional level and contextualized in the departments, the results are homologated as part of a potential achieved.Keywords: methodological work; Basic Biomedical Sciences; Discipline Biological Bases of Medicine.
