Abstract

A reflection on the role of educational portals as innovative tools to promote the development of information skills, in both online and face-to-face contexts. Their role is framed inside three broader contexts: the European Higher Education Space, the postulates of the socio-constructivist model of learning in higher education and the impact of the new information and communication technologies in education. Building on the author’s experience in the development of three projects —e-COMS, Alfin-EEES y Alfintra 2.0—, their main strengths and weaknesses are analysed and some of the more important trends in course are discussed, which are of especial importance considereing the growing interest in promote long-life learning.
