Introduction:

The Matanzas University of Medical Sciences has a virtual classroom supported by the platform Moodle. Its use, despite the improvement activities carried out, like workshops, courses and trainings continues to be a challenge for students and teachers, since not everyone is capable of exploiting the tools provided by this platform in order to meet the objectives determined in the study programs for each subject.

Objective:

To assess the use made of the Moodle platform by students of the subject Emergency Nursing, at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Matanzas.

Materials and methods:

A quantitative study was carried out in the period May-July2023, to assess the use of the Moodle platform by students of the subject Emergency Nursing at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Matanzas.

Results:

The results showed that there was good use of some of the Moodle platform tools by the students, which led to a high acquisition of knowledge.

Conclusions:

Without a doubt, new technologies can provide means for the improvement of teaching-learning processes, but their use for or against amore developed society will depend to a large extend on the education, knowledge and critical capacity of their users, who are the people who are now being trained.
