Virtual university–a vehicle for development, cooperation and internationalisation in teaching and learning
2005
The paper discusses the approaches of virtual university strategies and developments in Europe. The discussion is partly based on the work done in the Activity 5 in the EU Thematic Network E4 and partly to the experiences gained through the activities of EUNITE virtual university network of six European universities. Based on our experience we see, that e-learning and virtual university approach can be used for renewal of teaching and learning, both on and off campus. Just three years ago, universities seemed mainly to aim only to develop on campus teaching and learning through ICT. Lately, the use of e-learning as a tool for international cooperation and for virtual mobility (Virtual Erasm…
Escenarios tecnológicos con dispositivos móviles para la acción educativa. Tendencias y vínculos con la imagen

Presentamos un acercamiento a los escenarios educativos con TIC en la actualidad, en concreto tecnologías portables y modelos pedagógicos de colaboración complementarios a ellas, propios del constructivismo. La capacidad de aprendizaje que estos pueden llegar a suscitar, en cualquier momento y en cualquier lugar, refleja una realidad tangible en nuestra sociedad móvil. Nos referimos a los PLE Entornos Personales de Aprendizaje, BYOD Bring Your Own Device, la Gamificación, Flipped Classroom y la Realidad Aumentada y la Realidad Virtual. Se realiza una revisión de literatura de propuestas pedagógicas destacables, a través de algunos de los principales actores que las abordan en España. En cad…
Metaverse beyond the hype: Multidisciplinary perspectives on emerging challenges, opportunities, and agenda for research, practice and policy
2022
FNEGE 3, HCERES A, ABS 2; International audience; The metaverse has the potential to extend the physical world using augmented and virtual reality technologies allowing users to seamlessly interact within real and simulated environments using avatars and holograms. Virtual environments and immersive games (such as, Second Life, Fortnite, Roblox and VRChat) have been described as antecedents of the metaverse and offer some insight to the potential socio-economic impact of a fully functional persistent cross platform metaverse. Separating the hype and “meta…” rebranding from current reality is difficult, as “big tech” paints a picture of the transformative nature of the metaverse and how it w…
To See More: A Model for Press Photograph Story Analysis
2013
AbstractThis article presents and evaluates an interdisciplinary model for press photograph story analysis. The research comprised two stages: (i) familiarizing study participants with the interpretation model and (ii) qualitative content analysis of the participants’ interpretations of samples of press photograph stories. The result is that the model could be used in the educational context to develop the skills of visual literacy among students. Although the study opens new directions in visual methodologies, the model requires further development.

The rise of the hybrid model of art museums and cultural institutions. The case of Barcelona
2015
ABSTRACTArts and museum management analysis usually classifies art museums and cultural institutions as a public or private non-for-profit. However, budget and analysis management, as Mark J. Schuster stated, reveals that the majority of museums and cultural institutions cannot be classified neither public nor private non-profit, because they are hybrids. This paper analyses with a multidimensional methodology the different degrees of hybridization of Barcelona's museums and cultural institutions. Finally, we explain its phenomenon as the emergence of a new hybrid local model of museums and cultural institutions, which Barcelona is a singular and advanced case.
Design follows politics? The visualization of political orientation in newspaper page layout
2017
This article explores how the political orientation of newspapers is reflected in their page layout. The authors compare the layouts of five German national quality newspapers exemplarily and exploratively in a combination of quantitative and qualitative analyses. Dimensions of comparison are typography, size, colouration, quantity and arrangement of elements. Results show systematic differences between the page layouts of left-wing and right-wing newspapers. These differences are reflected in the contrast of traditional and contemporary styles and also in the use of ideologically charged typography and colours. In addition, the size of headlines seems to be dependent on political extremity…

The role of practitioners in helping persons make effective use of information and communication technology in career interventions
2019
We examine the role of counselors and other practitioners in delivering career interventions using Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Current benefits and limitations of ICT use provide the basis for recommendations. Potential benefits of increased ICT engagement include cost-effectiveness and improved access to resources and support. Potential limitations include poor assessment and information quality, limited practitioner support when needed, problems with distance intervention and social media, confidentiality of client records, inequality of access, inadequate competencies, and poor implementation. Specific practitioner roles are identified, and those related to social med…
Imagen técnica multi-banda en la investigación del proceso de ejecución de las pinturas. El caso del retrato de Carlos IV, de Francisco de Goya
2018
La imagen técnica multi-banda (MBTI) es ampliamente utilizada como un método eficaz para el examen de obras de arte. Aunque las diversas técnicas que lo conforman tienen una entidad propia, cuando se usan juntas proporcionan mucha más información al confrontar los diversos resultados. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es mostrar su uso en comprensión material, procedimental y creativa de un retrato del Rey Carlos IV. Más específicamente, la imagen técnica multi-banda se ha utilizado aquí para ayudar en la reconstrucción del proceso pictórico, al revelar datos relacionados con la creación y ejecución del cuadro (ductus y pinceladas, alteraciones, dibujo subyacente y primer manchado, comp…
