Entornos virtuales de aprendizaje: modelo ampliado de aceptación de la tecnología

2019

Dentro de la actual renovación de las metodologías docentes, las universidades están impulsando el uso de entornos virtuales de aprendizaje como una herramienta básica en la enseñanza presencial, ya que permite flexibilizar e individualizar la educación. El objetivo del presente trabajo es aportar evidencia empírica sobre la percepción que tienen los alumnos respecto a la mejora en su aprendizaje, al adoptar y utilizar entornos virtuales en la enseñanza presencial, a partir del Modelo de Aceptación de la Tecnología ampliado. La población objeto del estudio son 251 casos de estudiantes de primer grado de la Facultad de Economía de la Universitat de Valencia. Se ha evidenciado empíricamente, …

Case-specific performance of MM-PBSA, MM-GBSA, and SIE in virtual screening.

2015

In drug discovery the reliable prediction of binding free energies is of crucial importance. Methods that combine molecular mechanics force fields with continuum solvent models have become popular because of their high accuracy and relatively good computational efficiency. In this research we studied the performance of molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA), molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA), and solvated interaction energy (SIE) both in their virtual screening efficiency and their ability to predict experimentally determined binding affinities for five different protein targets. The protein-ligand complexes were derived with two different app…

Zjawisko wirtualizacji pieniądza w warunkach polskich

2017

Pieniądz jest elementem gospodarki od wieków. Przez ten czas jego forma ewoluowała od prymitywnych produktów do banknotów i monet. Współcześnie coraz powszechniejsze staje się korzystanie z pieniądza elektronicznego, a nawet pieniądza wirtualnego. Pojawiają się zatem pytania, jak ten pieniądz działa, czy pełni takie same funkcje jak tradycyjny pieniądz i czy na pewno jest istotną alternatywą dla obecnie funkcjonującego pieniądza fiducjarnego. W tym kontekście rodzi się pytanie, czy system finansowy w obecnym kształcie może nadal funkcjonować, czy też będzie raczej ewoluować w kierunku systemu opartego na walucie wirtualnej. Celem opracowania jest próba przedstawienia pieniądza wirtualnego j…

Intercultural competence as a succes factor of virtual multicultural teams : a case study on the team effectiveness of global HR teams

2010

This study’s main objective is to construct a model of intercultural competence for global virtual teams in order to investigate the influence of intercultural competence on multicultural virtual team effectiveness. This objective was investigated in two ways: Firstly, by reviewing existing models and concepts with the goal of listing contents of intercultural competence that improve the virtual multicultural team effectiveness sustainably. The findings in this section have been that all team members need to have a certain degree of intercultural competence. Intercultural competence is a set of skills, attitudes and knowledge which is developed gradually by experience and will never be comp…

Overcoming Essentialism? Students’ Reflections on Learning Intercultural Communication Online

2022

The fields of intercultural communication (IC) and intercultural education are in flux and the paradigmatic shift is away from essentialist approaches on culture and interculturality towards seeing IC and interculturality as flexible, fluid, contradictory, political, and ideological constructs. This study presents a virtual exchange project, a joint introductory course on IC between a Finnish university and a French university. One of the objectives of the course was to provide students with a more critical, non-essentialist perspective on interculturality. This study presents an analysis of 32 students’ texts (learning logs) that are processed qualitatively using content analysis to find a…

Virtual Exchange: Future-ready teaching of multiliteracies across borders and cultures

2020

Virtual exchange is an online form of internationalization at home. Students from different countries collaborate in small, international groups on tasks joined by a common theme. They combine their expertise when solving problems together. The teachers act as mentors, providing facilitation and support for the students during the virtual exchange. The student teams work independently by selecting the tools for the collaboration, allocating the tasks and creating the group’s final product. Virtual exchange is a transnational learning opportunity which enables students to learn and practice how to efficiently combine and make use of their digital, visual, critical, linguistic and intercultur…

Learning Outcomes in HMD-VR: a Literature Review

2022

While the educational technology has developed to the point that Extended Reality (XR), including immersive Virtual Reality (VR) can be used in education, the learning outcomes of these technologies in the large scale is still quite unknown. This literature review aims to take a comprehensive look to the field of immersive VR in to find out where the learning outcomes of HMD-VR stands out, and how they compare to other technologies and methods. The main result of this paper is that while HMD-based Virtual Reality Learning Environments (VRLEs) may not be superior compared to other technologies such as desktop-based VR environments regarding direct learning outcomes, a clear indication toward…

Spatial Cognition 2020/1: Book of abstracts : August 2-4, 2021, University of Latvia

2021

Spatial Cognition is concerned with the acquisition, development, representation, organization, and use of knowledge about spatial objects in real, virtual or hybrid environments and processed by human or artificial agents. Spatial Cognition includes research from different fields insofar as they are concerned with cognitive agents and space, such as cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics, computer science, geography, cartography, philosophy, neuroscience, and education. Research issues in the field range from the investigation of human spatial cognition to mobile robot navigation, including topics such as wayfinding, spatial planning, spatial learning, internal and external re…
