The case of literacy motivation : Playful 3D immersive learning environments and problem-focused education for blended digital storytelling
2018
The University of Patras' Library Services designed and offered to primary and secondary schools the pilot educational program “From the Ancient to the Modern Tablets”, featuring immersive multimedia learning experiences about the book history. The pilot program consisted of three stages: a playful library tour, followed by an interactive game-based digital storytelling activity with game elements, and a collaborative creative reflective hands-on activity. Utilizing the avatar psychology power, the visualization and simulation affordances of 3D immersive learning environments and the appeal of storytelling and game-based learning, the “gamified” blended narrative on the book evolution enabl…
Utilització d'una eina online per a la realització de tutories remotes: una experiència pràctica
2010
Elluminate Live! és un producte comercial dissenyat específicament per a la impartició de classes virtuals i la vídeo conferència entre múltiples usuaris. En aquest article, vam analitzar el seu ús en el context de la realització de tutories remotes en l'assignatura Informàtica, de primer curs de la titulació de Llicenciatura en Matemàtiques en la Universitat de València. A més de constituir una alternativa viable com complement a les tutories presencials, l'ús de l'eina proporciona una sèrie d'avantatges pel que fa a aquestes. Entre elles destaca la possibilitat de supervisar el treball de diversos alumnes de forma simultània, de realitzar explicacions a grups i de facilitar el treball coo…

Computer assisted language learning and the internationalisation of the Portuguese language in higher education contexts
2015
The internationalisation of the Portuguese language has become a priority for academic institutions of different Portuguese-speaking countries which are trying to adapt to the current context of globalisation and ubiquitous communications through digital media. In order to achieve it, several challenges should be faced, namely providing international students with resources aimed at helping them improve their Portuguese while fostering its use in academic and scientific contexts. This can be done by identifying, creating and editing high-quality teaching materials which bear in mind the sociocultural, political, economic and linguistic contexts; using the Information and Communication Techn…
Virtual and Augmented Reality Applied to the Perception of the Sound and Visual Garden
2022
The COVID-19 situation has encouraged the creation of ICT-based learning environments. Difficulties in performing activities in a garden setting can be overcome by using Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). The aim of this research is to evaluate the usefulness of VR and AR as an educational resource through contextualised sensory experiences in the garden. Eighty-seven trainee teachers took part, and a mixed methodology was used, for the analysis of the sound and visual elements of the garden and for reflection on the usefulness of VR and AR. An interpretive and inferential analysis of the AR-based compositions was carried out and of the drawings of the garden created by the pa…
