【 摘 要 】

This study analyses the concepts, attitudes and practices of 113 students from three major universities in different countries (Japan, Mexico and Spain) related to the process of coding to create multimedia presentations in an intercultural context. A project framed in two research groups has been developed to enhance coding skills in intercultural multimedia presentations. A Student t-test, a mixed questionnaire with a pretest-posttest design, a Wilcoxon test and interviews were administered to students using data triangulation. The results show that fostering intercultural multimedia activities and interaction using coding and communication tools in a university has several advantages regarding ICT skills. Research showed statistically significant efficacy regarding the ability of students to understand the management and use of multimedia content through block programming. Although there are just a few limitations related to Scratch programming language, students highlighted that Scratch is easy to use, funny and perfect for presentations and animations.
