Abstract

The objective of this research project was to characterize the use of open educational resources and the development of digital skills of the teachers of the Uniagustiniana Social Communication program. The aim was to understand how teachers integrate and adapt these resources in their classes. With a quantitative and descriptive methodology of three phases, digital competences, the use of OER and their applicability were recognized, and the tool was a questionnaire with multiple-choice closed questions. The results obtained showed that 100% of teachers use various online resources and that they vary according to the thematic approaches of the career (journalism, organizational communication, community and audiovisual communication). Also, 100% of teachers are characterized by promoting teamwork, having a high attention to detail, stimulating creativity and research on the web.

Thus, digital skills are the acquired qualities that allow a strengthening of new technologies. The three categories are: instrumental, that is, cognitive faculties. Interpersonal skills referring to multidisciplinarity and systemic skills or practical methods of each teacher. Finally, as conclusions, it is highlighted which are the most used and recognized platforms and applications that, at a comprehensive and total level, promote the creation, design and management of technologically and formatively adaptable projects in favor of the participation of all the actors in the higher education process.
