Abstract

We are presenting the experience of creation and implementation of a practicum developed entirely in virtual modality, for the clinical and educational itineraries of the Degree in Psychology. It is accompanied by the theoretical argumentation that supports this innovative methodology, which uses Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and a Learning Management System (LMS) - learning platform - to generate simulated professional environments. Concepts such as psychological and functional fidelity, learning community, collaborative work, and design based on competencies and job performance, give theoretical support to a teaching project with 13 years of experience. The objective is to expose the keys that have emerged from this teaching experience, for the development of similar models that, given the technological advances and the methodological developments of the current university education, will not take be long to supplement the formative experiences of pre and post degree, in more commonly and accessible way.
