About the Virtual Campus of Public Health

The Virtual Campus of Public Health (VCPH) is a network of people, institutions and organizations that share courses, resources, services and activities. Its emphasis is on education, information and knowledge management in training, with the common purpose of improving the skills and practices of health providers and the public health sector through the development and use of information and communication technologies for the uninterrupted improvement in the performance of continuing education programs in health. The Virtual Campus serves as a link for technical cooperation with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) for the provision of network learning in the region of the Americas. If you want to know more about the VCPH please visit the link: https://www.campusvirtualsp.org/en/what-campus.	The development of this course includes the acquired experience from some other courses developed since 2008: "Training Tutors in Learning Environments", "Designing Educational Programs and Teaching Materials for Learning in Virtual Environments", “Virtual Course for Tutors in English”, developed by the VCPH / PAHO, and “Training Tutors for Virtual Educational Proposals in Public Health”, developed by the Argentina node of the VCPH. This 2016 English edition, is presented as a strategic contribution of the VCPH / PAHO for all organizational units and Anglophone nodes requiring the training of professionals in the areas of design, coordination and mentorship courses in the framework of their technical cooperation projects.
The course offers a panoramic perspective of the various tasks and functions inherent in managing online training, providing both reflective and instrumental views, and ensuring good training practices within the perspective of Permanent Education in Health . (1) “ The permanent education concept is adopted as a continuum of work-learning actions that occurs in a space of health work/ production/education, which departs from an existing situation (generally a problem situation), and is directed at overcoming it, at changing it, at transforming it into a different and desired situation.” (2) [1] Davini MC.

Welcome This course is extremely important for the educational proposals of the Virtual Campus of Public Health (VCPH) and the academic institutions of the region, because of the promotion of continuing education as well as the development of Public Health human resources. Continuing education has received a major boost since the inception of the information and communication technologies, particularly with the use of Internet as an educational tool. These new tools allow: Efficient interaction in order to facilitate more agile communications when using the exchange of experiences and group discussions, where group reflections and analyses are taken into account for the building of knowledge in a collaborative way. Access to the learning environment from different places and according to personal schedules. This grants greater flexibility to the educational proposals as well as more autonomy to students; encouraging them to use their individual learning processes based on their own rhythms and interests.	Access to information sources that enable the exchange of professional experiences between students from different cultures and nationalities offering unprecedented network learning opportunities. Throughout the course, participants will receive constant assistance and support from their tutors. This will also provide them with the framework for their subsequent job as tutors in the virtual educational programs. This will also allow them to experience what their future students will experience and to better understand the processes they will go through and the challenges they will face. We hope this will be a positive and successful experience for all!
Purpose Develop virtual teaching skills within the framework of the Virtual Campus for Public Health (VCPH). Analyze the training of health professionals from a Continuing Education in Health perspective. Provide an overview of how to edit and set up materials in Moodle classrooms. Support the design and assembly of virtual educational proposals.
