Abstract
This chapter presents the results of research performed by Colombian researchers. The research aimed at designing, developing, and evaluating the app to promote the development of intercultural competences and ICT skills in higher education teachers for the creation of virtual learning environments. The project was based on the ADDIE model of instructional design and pedagogical principles of self-training, virtual education, interculturality, and universal design for learning. The test version of the app was piloted in a sample of higher education teachers. The evaluators highlighted key aspects such as the content and dynamics of the app, authentic learning activities, use of emerging technologies, numerous possibilities of interaction with technology, intuitive interface, and presentation of strategies for self-regulated learning. End users also evaluated the app positively in terms of ease of navigation, interactivity, clarity in the presentation of information, relevant content, and promotion of respect for diversity.
