The broadcaster produces digital academic content for the University of the local area, functioning as a tool for media literacy and aiming to reduce the digital divide within the university community. The content creation process is founded on communicative and pedagogical principles, integrating diverse digital communication languages, including audio and video. The organization utilizes a novel approach through GOPC (Grupos Operativos de Producción de Contenidos), which are teams composed of professors, students, and academic staff. These teams operate collaboratively and horizontally to construct academic content. The broadcaster’s work is licensed under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license. The organization’s programming centers around the creation of podcasts and audiovisual material for educational purposes. The broadcaster facilitates requests for “REPI Abierta,” indicating a potential avenue for public engagement or external content submissions. The genesis of the content creation process began as a research project within the “Estación de Radio Packet (LU1MUM)” at the Faculty of Engineering. The organization offers a radio room and an audiovisual room specifically for the production of educational material. The website provides a pathway for individuals interested in creating podcasts or audiovisual content. The formal establishment of the broadcaster occurred on December 13, 2017, when the Honorable Superior Council of the University of the local area passed resolution HCS Nº 196/2017. This resolution initiated the implementation of the educommunication proposal. The project evolved from initial research conducted at the radio station, demonstrating a progression from experimental beginnings to a formally recognized institutional entity. The organization's history reflects a deliberate shift towards structured content creation and a formalized operational framework. The broadcaster fosters a collaborative environment, involving professors, students, and academic staff in the content production process. The organization’s focus extends beyond internal university use, as indicated by the Creative Commons license. The website provides contact information for those wishing to engage with the organization. The broadcaster’s structure emphasizes horizontal collaboration among its contributors, suggesting a decentralized and participatory approach to content creation.
