Introduction:

Decisions made for conducting academic processes properly compromise the responsibility to respond for professional training.

Objective:

To analyze the educational-didactic projection assumed by the Department of Basic Biomedical Sciences of Facultad de Ciencias Médicas Salvador Allende with respect to the use of the Moodle platform in the teaching-learning of the discipline Biological Basis of Medicine.

Authors’ Position:

The Moodle platform was found to have been used as a resource to implement virtual classrooms complementary to face-to-face teaching, where promotion is made for the conscious and active participation of students in the process of their training, and whose operation has been suggested to be improved.

Conclusions:

The analysis on the decisions made by the Department of Basic Biomedical Sciences at Facultad de Ciencias Médicas Salvador Allende with respect to the teaching use of the Moodle platform allowed establishing that such determinations are adequate, as they coincide with the general standards based on a relevant didactic management, a characteristic that contributes to the fulfillment of one of the indicators of university social responsibility. This position towards methodological work is suggested to be promoted institutionally in other teaching departments that have only developed information repositories.
