BERENGUER GOUARNALUSES, Juan Arturo et al. REDESOFT: Educational Hyper environment on computing nets in health sciences, in Medical Computing. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2016, vol.8, n.3, pp. 98-111. ISSN 2077-2874.

Background: the tools that the Information and Communication Technologies offer to create teaching aids have facilitated meaningful changes in the teaching-learning process. Objective: to design an educational hyper environment on the topic 2. Computing Nets in health sciences, in Medical Computing I, for the first year students of Odontology. Methods: it was carried out a pedagogic experimental investigation, in the Odontology Faculty of Santiago de Cuba University of Medical Sciences during the academic year 2013-2014. Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, historical-logical, and systemic-structural; empiric methods: documental analysis, observation and a survey was applied to the students. Results: professors not always orient assignments that require the search of new contents using technological tools, they still have an unsatisfactory mastery of methodological resources for the development of the students' abilities in interaction with the nets, the students have little training to achieve a greater use in the tools of Internet in learning and they have a poor development of abilities to classify the information that Internet offers, that´s why the authors designed an educational hyper environment on the contents of topic 2 of Medical Computing I. Conclusions: the consulted specialists assessed the product as effective, for the good updating level, they specified that its design matches with an appropriate employment of the tools that the Communication and Information Technologies offer, that´s why it can be perfectly applied to modify the lacks on the topic, which was tested during its implementation.
