Material in Virtual Platforms and its impact on learning and course perception

Abstract

Didactic materials play a crucial role in developing students' skills in online or blended courses. The quality of these materials and their accompanying activities significantly influence students' learning and perception of the course content.

This research aims to determine if the class materials uploaded by professors on the Moodle platform used by the University provide an active learning approach that helps students establish clear objectives, engage in interactive activities, and develop higher-order thinking skills.

The study finds that, in general, instructors upload materials that promote active learning, correlating with a more positive perception of the course and students' learning outcomes.
