Among the main changes brought about by new technologies new ways of learning and working are perhaps the most important in that they have the most significant social and economic consequences in the short and medium terms. We are not just talking about working and learning online, but also about learning and working collaboratively using the Internet.

This specialisation course goes into the main forms of collaborative work (in various areas such as the cultural sphere or the development of computer applications), connectivism – an emerging form of learning that uses the opportunities for collaboration provided by the Internet – and the effects these new types of behaviour have on the competitiveness of organisations.

Anyone interested in virtual social networks and their potential to aid in learning and the exchange of information will find the content of this new postgraduate programme very rewarding. From the perspective of communications, knowledge management or collaborative learning, those holding Degrees in Audiovisual Communications and Archiving, including IT engineers (technicians and advanced), students of Economics and Business Studies or students qualified in subjects relating to Educational Sciences can use this course to complete their academic CV and to prepare themselves for the new job market arising in society.

Similarly, those professionals working as knowledge and communications managers in companies, teachers or managers of educational institutions, training supervisors in HR departments, intranet and virtual platform designers and innovation supervisors in any kind of institution will find in this programme what they need to improve their effectiveness in terms of the use of social networks, adapting themselves to the new demands of the Information and Knowledge Society.
