New approach to the educational practice of UNIGIS Girona Program Thinking about the keys of change

Abstract

During the last years a new pedagogical model promoted by the European Higher Education Area it has been discussed. This article gathers the experience of UNIGIS Girona distance learning program in GIS, which is organized by University of Girona, as an innovating example of a new learning methodology application. The initiative is due to the European influences and the learning systems that different European universities are carrying out. In a remote study, where educational processes are based on e-learning platforms, is fundamental that these platforms facilitate the opportunity to apply the pedagogical model, but without forgetting the key paper that the implied people play.
