Abstract

In the post-pandemic period, humanity will face a global crisis. How to overcome the concrete threat that will present itself in health, in social and working life, in the economy, in politics? Many questions, concerns, cognitive dissociations, have been produced in this period, which express the astonishment at a situation that has not been experienced before. Providing young students with the possibility of reflecting on alternatives and their medium and long-term repercussions and consequences for society, becomes an essential task in a unique moment of humanity. In this direction, this project aims to propose and experience a computational learning platform to foster the inter-disciplinary and collaborative study of the new Corona-Virus pandemic. The light of Complexity Theory as a basis for analyzing the problem, the conception of The platform should include pedagogical methodologies known as "active", with the principle of meaningful, systemic learning that makes sense for the student and teaching community that ends a period of social isolation.
