Training Teachers through the Platform E-Learning as a tool for Collaborative Learning

Abstract

This essay seeks to demonstrate an analysis that aims to describe teacher training through the e-learning platform as a tool for collaborative learning, which is conceived from the educational technology tools that allow them to develop in university educational environments that lead to the production and transmission of knowledge and that are the new resources presented in the training, cited in the world declaration of the twentieth century. Methodologically, it is oriented from an interpretative approach based on the qualitative perspective, developed under a critical review of referential sources, used as a search technique that establishes the intention of the inquiry, and is supported by the connectivism theory proposed by Siemens (2005); and Downes (2005) about e-learning 2.0. By way of conclusion, the e-learning platform as a tool for collaborative learning has to offer the way in which we will approach teacher training and how we prepare ourselves through Information and Communication Technologies. Also, assume that each teacher should look for ways to obtain cognitive responsibilities forming in ICT, otherwise it will be in clear disadvantages with their students.
