Main Article Content
Abstract
Educommunicational capsules articulate the foundations of educommunication and microlearning, positioning themselves as a strategy to innovate and democratize academic knowledge. This research analyzes the reception of 24 educommunicational capsules implemented in a university MOOC, considering their assessment and the thematic interests they generate. A total of 3,083 participant evaluations distributed across 8 research lines were processed using a descriptive exploratory mixed method design. Results show high assessment scores, with strong correlation between perceived interest, importance, and usefulness. Moreover, 76.78% of participants expressed interest in additional training, with pedagogy/didactics and educational technology predominating. Educommunicational capsules position themselves as tools that foster engagement between university and community through their accessibility while maintaining academic rigor.
