Abstract

The use of ICT in Higher Education is considered a pre-requisite for adaptation to the European Higher Education Area. The new teaching methodologies aimed at more effective and appropriate learning for professional practice involve the use of audiovisual, computer and telematic tools on the part of lecturers. Research is currently being carried out at the University of Salamanca (financed by the Spanish Ministry) to find out what use lecturers make of these tools and the specific competencies that they have to acquire for making effective use of them. The data we present in this article show a moderate development of educational activities mediated by ICT although lecturers are highly motivated. We also present advantages and problems of technological tools to improve the teaching.
