OPTIMIZACIÓN DEL COMPORTAMIENTO INFORMACIONAL MEDIANTE EL USO DE HERRAMIENTAS DE BOOKMARKING

The current knowledge society and the new education policies in the EU require a new approach to educational resources. The use of a closed and monolithic form such as the textbook has to be replaced by the creation and continuous updating of repositories of resources that facilitate and are part of the learning process. This paper presents an approach to this new paradigm through an analysis of three elements: the research of the information behavior of students in the use of educational resources available on the Net, the functional and usability analysis of the tools that support management and use of information resources, and the pilot of a bookmarking tool in a virtual classroom course on Human-Computer Interaction as practice to improve students' information behavior. Considered together these three elements is key to improving students' information behavior and therefore allow better acquisition of information competencies essential in the current context.
