Abstract

The When communication students need to learn specific audiovisual narratives, such as those of the documentary genre, educational challenges arise because their prior knowledge is formed around audiovisual narrative in general. Thus, learning by doing becomes a practical solution for acquiring these professional competencies. Therefore, the objective of this research is to examine the teaching and learning processes with digital technologies, focusing on learning by doing based on the production of micro-documentaries by students from four communication faculties in Lima, Peru. This is a qualitative study where action research design is applied, employing the auto-narrative technique to gather information from class records, evaluations, and teacher experiences. The main finding was that digital audiovisual devices facilitate the production of micro-documentaries through hands-on learning, which equips students with the skills for learning narrative and producing longer documentaries. This led to the conclusion that there is a form of digital learning by doing that educates on computer and digital competencies within the context of platform capitalism, as well as an audiovisual learning by doing applicable to non-fiction narratives.
