La DaD nell’emergenza Covid19: restrizione spaziale e sfida per una nuova temporalizzazione
2020
L’introduzione della DaD nell’università, come risposta di emergenza alla pandemia del Covid19, ha comportato inevitabilmente il sacrificio della dimensione spaziale nel percorso formativo degli studenti e nella loro socialità. Questa restrizione, tuttavia, può creare il presupposto per riguadagnare in intensità ciò che si perde in estensione e ripensare, in termini filosofici, il rapporto tra temporalizzazione e spazializzazione nel processo di costruzione della personalità nella sua coscienza storica. The introduction of the DDA in the university, as an emergency response to the Covid19 pandemic, inevitably entailed the sacrifice of the spatial dimension in the training of students and in…
An Exploration of Issues and Challenges Faced by Students in Distance Learning Environment
2019
This paper investigates the issues and challenges encountered by students obtaining distance education in Pakistan. We conducted interviews with students obtaining distance education and they were enrolled in different study programs. Qualitative interviews were conducted to understand the perception of the study participants regarding the issues and challenges faced by them in learning. Students from five distance learning programs were selected and five participants from each study program were interviewed in this study. The findings reveal that distance learning students encounter impediment in their learning due to their personal circumstances, teachers’ related issues, and due to asses…
Distance Learning – Projecting a Learning Unit. Example of Good Practice
2013
Abstract Distance Learning is a flexible form of university education which focuses on students ‘self-study, the institution which organizes the study programme provides the students with the adequate learning resources. Designing a university course addressed to Distance Learning students represents a key point in the process of education. The purpose of our research is to specify the demands in designing a Distance Learning university course, examining and illustrating each aspect in designing a learning unit with the topic: The Concept of “Stylistic Field”. The learning material is designed according to established objectives, it is accessible, accurate, yet attractive in design, and it …
Uno strumento di insegnamento e apprendimento riflessivo nella formazione degli insegnanti al tempo del Covid: lo storytelling digitale
2021
Tra le varie forme narrative, negli ultimi anni si sta diffondendo l’uso del cosiddetto “storytelling digitale”, ovvero uno strumento attraverso il quale lo studente può raccontarsi e ritrovare tutti gli elementi caratterizzanti un’esperienza didattica vissuta. Il contributo si propone l'obiettivo di valutare in termini di soddisfazione e percezione del proprio apprendimento, la ricaduta dell’esperienza narrativa da parte degli studenti universitari che hanno frequentato a distanza nel primo semestre dell’anno accademico 2020-21, il corso di Docimologia previsto al secondo anno (cattedra M-Z) del Corso di Studi in Scienze della Formazione Primaria, attraverso l’impiego dello storytelling di…
Buone pratiche organizzative e didattiche in tempo di COVID-19
2021
Le scuole paritarie cattoliche o cristianamente ispirate, tra marzo 2020 e febbraio 2021, hanno riorganizzato l’attività didattica in forme tali da prevenire i contagi da Covid-19. .E’ stata avvertita da tutti la mancanza delle relazioni interpersonali in presenza. Complessivamente la sfida della didattica a distanza ha sollecitato la creatività educativa degli insegnanti e dei dirigenti scolastici. Sono presentate 9 buone pratiche di dirigenza scolastica durante la pandemia e 17 buone pratiche didattiche, distribuite fra tutti i livelli scolastici. Le famiglie sono state contente di come i propri figli sono stati seguiti dalla scuola durante la fase dell’insegnamento svolto obbligatoriamen…

Some educational experiences in the area of Forecasting; Simulation; Graphs and Networks; Decision Theory and Linear Programming based on: R 2.10.0, Scilab 5.1.1 and an Open Source Spreadsheet will be illustrated, with a brief reference to the acceptance of pupils and colleagues.
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…
Toward Successfully Integrating Mini Learning Games into Social Virtual Reality Environments : Recommendations for Improving Open and Distance Learni…
2017
Social virtual reality environments, also known as 3D virtual immersive environments, are threedimensional computer-generated virtual spaces that are increasingly used in attendance-based and distance education. Thanks to their unique characteristics that separate them from two-dimensional virtual learning environments, social virtual reality environments can enhance distance education efficacy when used in combination with applying instructional methodologies such as situated learning, experiential learning and game-based learning. The authors of this paper describe the design and findings of a research study on game-based learning in social virtual immersive environments. The research met…
Mixed e-assessment: An application of the studentgenerated question technique
2010
This paper presents the experiment of a mixed summative-formative evaluation in an asynchronous distance higher education context. In the experiment, performed in the distance course of Total Quality Management, Industrial Engineering, University of Guadalajara (Mexico), students are guided to formultate questions on specific topics. Studentgenerated questions are evaluated through an ad-hoc quantitative tool, specifically designed for the purpose: the four-criterion Observation Matrix. The experiment shows: (1) that it is possible to improve the Higher Education evaluation process and formalise students' skill in a more thoroughly way than with traditional evaluation; (2) how the student-e…
Deep and Meaningful E-Learning with Social Virtual Reality Environments in Higher Education: A Systematic Literature Review
2021
Deep and meaningful learning (DML) in distant education should be an essential outcome of quality education. In this literature review, we focus on e-learning effectiveness along with the factors and conditions leading to DML when using social virtual reality environments (SVREs) in distance mode higher education (HE). Hence, a systematic literature review was conducted summarizing the findings from thirty-three empirical studies in HE between 2004 (appearance of VR) and 2019 (before coronavirus appearance). We searched for the cognitive, social, and affective aspects of DML in a research framework and studied their weight in SVREs. The findings suggest that the use of SVREs can provide aut…
