Among ICT services offered by educational institutions are teleteaching platforms, such as Moodle or Blackboard, which made available their community a set of online tools such as content repositories, forums, mail, evaluation, etc. However, outside of these closed and controlled environments, Internet offers tools such as social networks with a range of possibilities in line with current trends and professional skills. The integration of both environments poses the dilemma of opening, which although could bring positive things, also not only makes a great technological challenge but also a training and evaluation challenge.
This project, created with a participatory and interventionist methodology DBR (Design Based Research), aims to design and develop a tool called Tag2Learn, that can integrate social networks into elearning platforms. For the design and validation it has enjoyed the participation of many teachers and researchers, and students from different universities and areas. The tool is compatible with platforms using the IMS Global Learning Consortium protocol Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI).
The result obtained in this work, after several cycles of refining the prototype and a pilot, is (1) a tool to manage and evaluate continuously and formatively the work done by students in social networks through elearning platforms; and (2) design principles that can be applied in similar research.
