Currently, the new web application offers a catalog of 20 free courses developed in collaboration with AHYU, an international organization dedicated to educational content. Course topics include digital tools such as PowerPoint, Canva, Zoom, educational innovation, storytelling, gamification, use of social networks, digital tools for the classroom and neuroeducation.
