Abstract

Abstract: The present study reports an analysis of a procedure to develop online workshops for undergraduate students. Furthermore a methodology to generate specific interaction between the participants and a previously prepared content, as well as specific student-tutor, student-student interactions that favor adequate attitudes towards online education is proposed. The result conclusively show that the strategy accomplished a fluid and effective learning experience for the participants with regards to the workshop's contents. Additionally, the workshop promotes a favorable interaction between all members of the online community. Of special importance is the fact that students developed a life long attitude of continuing self-education. We conclude that the proposed methodology for the online workshops effectively complements educational processes for undergraduate students in Mexico and that it is an excellent tool to enable continuous education.
