Resumo:

The Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia has been collaborating with Utah Valley University creating online videoconferences held at both the universities. This project intended to promote an autonomous learning and improve the structure of videoconferences, thus helping students to enhance their foreign language competence. Every participant had to assess their own teaching perspective and learning style, the quality of the resources used during the videoconference, as well as their level of satisfaction with it. To evaluate the teaching style, the content of the videoconference and its value as a tool or resource for learning or both, a new instrument has been devised and validated. Partial results confirm the success of this initiative, considering the number of participants and viewers of the tutorials, and provide constructive feedback for future improved versions of the project.
