Experience has shown that a web application for the support of VSL (and more generally, of SL) would be of great interest. Here, we present the development of such a web application: Virtu@l-ApS (from Aprendizaje-Servicio, SL in Spanish). To date, this software-development project has been carried out in the context of two collaborative and interdisciplinary UNED (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, the Spanish national distance-learning university) bachelor's degree projects, from the Social Education and Computer Engineering degrees, respectively. Though the currently-available version of the web application lacks important functionality, the experience of developing it has been extremely useful, in particular, in helping to clarify the requirements for a fully operational application which we expect will contribute to the support and expansion of SL in the Spanish higher education sector. 2020 artículo científico 1138-2783 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=331462375005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3314/331462375005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3314/331462375005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3314/331462375005/331462375005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3314/331462375005/movil https://doi.org/10.5944/ried.23.1.24397 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3314 RIED-Revista Iberoamericana de Educación a Distancia application/pdf Asociación Iberoamericana de Educación Superior a Distancia RIED-Revista Iberoamericana de Educación a Distancia (España) Num.1 Vol.23 |
