Carlos Parada has developed his career combining his passion for new technologies with teaching. He graduated in computer science from the University of A Coruña and quickly began his career as a trainer in this field.

Since then, he has explored new teaching methodologies, applying innovative techniques to capture the student's attention and maintain it throughout the course . He teaches all of this to new teachers, focusing on ICT (Information Technology) and TAC (Knowledge and Learning Technologies).

Carlos believes in continuous learning and training as a way to improve the employability of workers, as well as a formula to deal with the structural changes that we constantly face in all sectors. For this reason, he also helps to implement e-learning solutions effectively in many companies.

The importance of digitalization in teaching
Carlos Parada, digital teacher



Do you think the outbreak of the pandemic has boosted online training? How?
Without a doubt, companies have made new zealand phone data technological leaps. What they previously planned (or not) in the long or medium term, they have had to do in an accelerated manner and in a very short space of time. Companies and professionals who had specialized in this field have had a great competitive advantage and their business model has grown exponentially since the pandemic.

It is curious that the distance learning model was already included in the regulations related to continuous and occupational training before the pandemic, but it was difficult to implement for several reasons: technological ignorance, methodological ignorance and complex administrative requirements. The pandemic modified and opened the regulations to different online training models : distance learning, virtual and hybrid classrooms, which facilitated its implementation since - in most cases - it was the only way for some training centres and training actions to survive.



What will future training look like? Do you think the latest technologies or advances such as the development of the metaverse will have an impact?
I think the key is in the methodologies and teaching strategies. Technologies are still the means, but not the end . We can have a complete and attractive virtual classroom, highly developed content and attractive complementary resources, but if the teacher does not have a strategy that involves the students and in which they are involved, the training will be flat, uninteresting and without impact on the professional fields of the participants.
