Abstract

Lo sviluppo delle tecnologie Web ha profondamente modificato le modalità di comunicazione e interazione tra le persone, e le possibilità di accesso alle informazioni, con un forte impatto anche in ambito educativo. In questo contesto, il concetto tradizionale di “literacy”, basato sull’abilità di leggere, scrivere e parlare una lingua, non è più sufficiente a garantire un livello di partecipazione attiva alla vita sociale ed economica. Tali motivazioni hanno spinto un gruppo di esperti a introdurre un nuovo concetto di pedagogia (“multiliteracies”) in cui il linguaggio e gli altri modi di espressione sono considerati risorse dinamiche di rappresentazione del significato. Dopo una breve introduzione su un modello a supporto di una pedagogica delle multiliteracies, questo articolo descrive il sistema MWS-Web che fornisce gli strumenti adeguati per promuovere un apprendimento basato sul concetto di multiliteracies. Una sperimentazione pilota della piattaforma è stata condotta presso l’Università di Pavia nella Facoltà di Medicina, nel Corso di Laurea a Ciclo Unico di “Odontoiatria e Protesi dentaria”.
