Nowadays I'm researching what are the best digital technologies (LMS, virtual worlds, digital ecosystems, virtual reality, 3d virtual environments) for developing the digital training of university teachers. I would like to know what are your criteria regarding this topic.
practical classroom experience (ideally in diverse settings)
academic study to give you the knowledge and understanding to teach successfully.
an assessment of your teaching skills (through being observed teaching classes)
Dear Prof. Cebrián-Martín!
You spotted an important topic. I think this problem is a case (group of teachers in line with specific fields) - and context (country, infrastructure) one:

I think that one technology is not better than another, but that each of these technologies can contribute a lot in certain contexts, which depend from the technological infrastructure (of the country, the student and the teacher) to the learning style of their students.
Dear Bulcsu Szekely thanks for your contribution. Also, I would like to thank you for sending me these papers that are updated outcomes and seem to be relevant for my research. I'll read them soon.
Best regards,
Daymel
Dear Enier A. Barbán
I know that any technology is no better than others. Besides, I recognize the huge influence of the context and technological infrastructure in order to decide what technology can be used in a training process.
But the purpose that I chasing with this debate is learning and listening regarding different digital technologies and even the experiences in the use of them.
Regards,
Daymel
Moodle is a good start, Prof. Daymel Adalberto Cebrián-Martín.
The creation of NOOCs and MOOCs, using Moodle to acquire methodological training with the VLE.
Then, use the same LMS to create longer courses, it takes a long time and resources to do it properly.
Nowadays there are already some online universities accredited for bachelors and master programs based on 9 weeks courses using moodle.
Hi Daymel Adalberto Cebrián-Martín
Slightly off topic but might be of some use.
Please see below paper on implementing digital training solutions in the manufacturing environment as a result of the pandemic and what we have done to utilise more digitalised training within manufacturing.
