Evaluer un dispositif de formation à distance : Principes et retour d'expérience

2008

The multiplication of distance learning platforms and the complexity of some of those used within the university system raise questions. First of all, the stabilization of writing practices of digital documents. Secondly, the evaluation of these devices. We want to address this last point in this article. What is it possible to assess in this field? There are many dimensions of evaluation, depending on the angle chosen. We limit ourselves to an approach focused on evaluating the human-computer interface. The chosen testing ground is a website for law studies, developed by the University of Burgundy's further education section.

Teacher beliefs on the significance of technology in education : the influence for inclusion in the andalusian teaching centers

2014

Este trabajo muestra resultados parciales de un Proyecto I+D de Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología español sobre centros TICs andaluces y sus repercusiones en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Nos planteamos mediante encuesta indagar en las creencias del profesorado sobre la tecnología en la educación, su influencia en los procesos de aula. Los datos obtenidos nos aportan indicios que nos aproximan a la hipótesis inicial, confirmando parcialmente que las creencias que el profesorado tiene sobre el significado de las tecnologías en la educación se encuentran relacionadas con su frecuencia y uso, sus percepciones sobre la integración organizativa y curricular, y con su formación y capaci…

Analysis of the perceived self-­‐efficacy in the use of ICT of pre-­‐ service primary and preschool teachers

2017

La formación del profesorado en el uso de las TIC es un aspecto importante para conseguir una verdadera integración de las TIC en la educación. Según el modelo TPACK, esta formación no debe limitarse a contemplar de manera separada los aspectos relacionados con las TIC, el contenido curricular y la metodología. En el presente estudio se explora la percepción de autoeficacia en cuanto al uso de las TIC en el aula de una muestra de 107 estudiantes de los grados de Maestro/a en Educación Infantil y en Educación Primaria. Para ello se emplea una traducción del cuestionario para la autoevaluación de las competencias TIC elaborado por Tondeur et al. (2016). Los resultados del estudio muestran que…

The Use of Multimodal Resources by Technical Managers and Their Peers in Meetings Using English as the Business Lingua Franca

2020

Background: Engineers increasingly work and advance their careers in international business settings. As technical managers, they need management and technical skills when working with different stakeholders with whom they may not share a common first language. Studies have revealed that informal oral communication skills are of prime importance for global engineers who face challenges in building shared meaning and formulating clear messages in meetings with non-native speakers of English. This article proposes that studying the use of multimodal resources (spoken language, gaze, gestures, and objects) in meetings can unpack how work tasks are accomplished in business through different com…

Indistinguishability of Elementary Systems as a Resource for Quantum Information Processing.

2017

Typical elements of quantum networks are made by identical systems, which are the basic particles constituting a resource for quantum information processing. Whether the indistinguishability due to particle identity is an exploitable quantum resource remains an open issue. Here we study independently prepared identical particles showing that, when they spatially overlap, an operational entanglement exists which can be made manifest by means of separated localized measurements. We prove this entanglement is physical in that it can be directly exploited to activate quantum information protocols, such as teleportation. These results establish that particle indistinguishability is a utilizable …

On Temporal Aspects in Cross-Cultural e-Collaboration Between Finland and Japan Research Teams

2018

Time is an essential dimension in cross-cultural e-collaboration among research project teams. Understanding temporal aspects and project dynamics in cross-cultural research e-collaboration and related processes can improve team members' skills in cross-cultural communication and increase their cultural competence. The present case cultures are Finnish and Japanese, and the case universities are the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) and Keio University (Japan). Three issues are addressed in this article. First, cultural dimensions and time models in the cross-cultural e-collaboration context are discussed. Second, temporal aspects related to e-collaboration activities are introduced. Third,…

Representation and retrieval of uncertain temporal information in museum databases

Representation and retrieval of uncertain temporal information in museum databases

2012

An implementation-oriented model to represent uncertain temporal information in databases is proposed. Temporal information is presented to the user as anchored time intervals with optional beginning and end dates. The model accounts for both instants and intervals, and can be applied to uncertain dates by leaving days and months optional, or by using symbolic constraints that present additional time granularities. The model is defined using conventional relational database structures to support ease of deployment and integration to legacy systems with efficient query capabilities. The model is based on experiences with an existing museum database and highlights challenges related to tempor…

Figures du sacré

2013

Dufour-Boutaud (dir.), n°23, Questions de Communication : dossier Figures du sacré; International audience; Figures du sacré « Le sacré est l'archaïque » écrivait Paul Ricoeur (1974 : 71), faisant le constat qu'il relève d'un monde aujourd'hui complètement révolu. Démarche bien téméraire, donc, celle d'engager Questions de communication dans un débat refermé sur le passé, voire dépassé. La discussion serait close et le sujet entendu. Tournons la page. Pourtant le sacré reste d'une étonnante acuité. Il y a quelques années, il trouvait encore à s'exposer dans ce temple de la création moderne et de l'avant-garde qu'est le centre Pompidou à Paris 1 : 1 Une exposition s'est tenue en août 2008 au…

Building and Testing a Comparative Interface on Northwest European Historical Parliamentary Debates : Relative Term Frequency Analysis of British Rep…

2022

Tensions between the people and parliament over representation are a normal feature of representative democracies. In this paper, we demonstrate how digital humanities analysis tools help in answering questions about the timing of debates on popular representation, tensions over its realization, and representatives’ changing perceptions on their parliamentary role. Our long-term approach to the conceptual history of political representation is based on the analysis of digitized parliamentary debates as nexuses of multi-sited political discourse. We combine computer-assisted distant and context-sensitive close reading to consider diachronic trends and synchronic political struggles surroundi…
