How can we methodologically renew and update the Physical Activity and Sports Science degree?

Using the Moodle virtual platform (coopera.inefc), we will show the development of basic skills in the following degree: Critical reflection and expression of experiences and others specificities of the future teachers of motor functions through the implementation of electronic academic journals (e-journals).
