Abstract


During the academic years 2005/06 and 2006/07 a study was carried out on the establishment of an ICT virtual resources centre for a group of trainee teachers at the Rovira i Virgili and Lleida universities, included within the framework of the subject "New Technologies Applied to Education".

 

As well as analyzing the effect of the virtual centre on the training of students in the use of ICT, the aim was to look at the students' perception, from both universities and both academic years, of their training results and command of ICT.

 

The first part of this article details the main objective and instruments of our investigation. The second part describes and illustrates the features and functions of the resource centre. Finally, the main results and conclusions of our research are presented.
