Tecnologias digitais para o ensino em saúde: relato de experiências e a convergência para o projeto avas21

Abstract

Objective: To discuss current opportunitie for using health teaching virtual environments (AVAS) and to show how these have been applied at a medical school. Method: Education experiences based on AVAS were surveyed and analysed by a team of professors from the Medical School of the Federal University of Minas Gerais in seek of convergence with respect to making contents in digital shape available. Results: The institution collection comprises complete courses, classes, education videos, pictures, games and applications, as well as teaching platforms, distance consulting and virtual simulation, which indicates animportant presence of digital resources within professional education. It was distance life long learning that yielded most digital pedagogical material. Conclusion: AVAS has played a role in offering education in conditions under which teachers and students do not share their place and time,but it can also contribute an improved form of conventional teaching to the medical school.
