Abstract

The development of networked collectives presents multiple possibilities in the teaching-learning process, while at the same time posing new challenges for teachers. This article carries out a case study of the Wuolah platform in order to study the role of ICTs and collaborative platforms in the university teaching environment and their capacity to develop collective learning experiences and foster a participatory and prosumer culture.

Specifically, the objectives of this research are to analyse the Wuolah platform, to find out the perception that students and teaching staff have of it, and to study the representation of the student body that creates content (prosumer) and that of the student body that consumes it.

To this end, a methodological triangulation was carried out, based mainly on six semi-structured interviews with teachers and students and a survey (n=278) with students.

The results obtained show that Wuolah is the most popular platform for sharing notes among the students surveyed, who value its usefulness very positively. The teaching staff, on the other hand, are not very familiar with Wuolah and have certain reticence about its possible contribution to the teaching dynamic.

Finally, we conclude that collaborative methodologies have not had an impact on university classrooms despite the interest shown by both university students and teaching staff in the need to incorporate Web 2.0 tools into the learning process and teaching practice.
