Service-learning in the Spanish university system : A study based on deans? perception
2019
The third mission of the University consists of returning to society part of what it receives. This way of understanding the relationship between society and university involves the use of new teaching/learning methodologies, in which teachers cease to be mere transmitters of knowledge, and students acquire an active and cr itical role in response to the social needs. Service - Learning is a methodological strategy that combines the theoretical training in a field of knowledge and the implementation of the knowledge acquired through provision of a service to the community. This methodology is appropriate to make that third mission of the university institution possible. The objective of thi…
Facilitating text understanding for e-learning users
2014
Web information on different disciplines (mainly technical ones) is mainly created by the different experts (engineers, scientists, physicians, lawyers, etc.) who use their own 'technical' language. On the other hand, this information is often read by general users who do not have the same skills and vocabularies of the experts and have difficulties to understand and learn it. In order to allow e-learners to use any document available on the web and understand it, it is desirable to have a system that takes a text written with technical terms and automatically translates it in a plain language and provides additional information with the same kind of language. In this work we present the me…
Finding the best web medical content for different learner categories
2015
In the age of Internet where any kind of information can be easily found online, it is becoming increasingly evident that more and more people use the World Wide Web to seek health and medical information for understanding and learning. Different users have diverse needs, even when searching for the same topic. This is certainly true in healthcare, where a patient, a physician or a health executive might look for information on the same topic but have different necessities and bring different levels of reading ability and prior knowledge together with a different vocabulary. Generic search engines (like Google, Bing or Yahoo) work on the whole web but make generic searches often overloading…
Internet and Mathematic Education (E-Learning objects and tools for Mathematics Education)
2011
This paper analyzes some e-learning objects and didactics tools for improving mathematics education. The learning objects and tools analyzed are Videos, Applet Java, Geogebra, Wolfram|Alpha with his Widgets, Google Spreadsheets and Wiris. The analysis has been based on the parameters considered more suitable for didactics of mathematics. Such parameters are: interactivity, shareability, availability, applicability and feasibility. The paper presents a brief description of how the didactics is changing with internet, in particularly the didactics of the mathematics. It then shows the objects and tools selected with some application examples. Finally, it illustrates an comparison of the objec…
Searching the internet for learning materials through didactic indicators
2007
Internet offers a huge amount of didactic materials that can be used in creating new online courses. However, those materials need a deep analysis to understand their context and contents before their potential use. As a consequence, the search of didactic material in internet is often quite tedious and time consuming so the searcher usually limits his/her analysis to the first found web pages . To help users in finding efficiently and timely the most appropriate online materials, we have developed a system, called SAXEF (System for Automatic eXtraction of lEearning object Features), that is capable to automatically extract the didactic indicators (a sort of DNA) of any web page (or group o…
E-LEARNING AND ART OF PROGRAMMING: A CONTEXT ORIENTED TO
2017
Coding or programming is very important for a number of tasks and this is true not only in problem solving but also in the computer science and over. Many skills have to be acquired before to have a high familiarity degree with this science. In the studies for methods of coding, students have a great problem for understanding on how to solve and to develop algorithms in a rational way, thus the expertise on how to solve and to develop algorithms is the most difficult to acquire for all students in whatever age. This paper introduces the prototype of a framework able to running in the web space and to be supported by different devices and browsers, useful to integrate a number of collaborati…

Geografie digitali - Spazi e socialità
2018
Il volume propone una riflessione su alcune tematiche che riguardano l’intersezione tra spazio, internet e digitalizzazione, soprattutto da una prospettiva geografico-culturale. Il libro si articola in due parti. Nella prima, Spazi, web e socialità, attraverso cinque contributi vengono affrontate alcune questioni teoriche legate alle modalità di costruzione simbolica dello spazio e della socialità attraverso le tecnologie informatiche, con particolare attenzione all’utilizzo dei dispositivi mobili. Viene approfondito il modo in cui internet e le tecnologie digitali ridefiniscono la concezione e l'esperienza dello spazio, ad esempio sui social media. Nella seconda parte, Digital media e dida…
Towards transational virtual study circles: an introduction to the E-report project
2007
E-report is an European Union project aiming at the constitution of a repertory of reference material with regard to the development of innovative methods in the field of e-learning system for educational projects and also for distance learning in VET. The activities of research, experimentation and analysis are combined with the use of ICT with massive use of tutoring activities, learning groups and transnational virtual study circles.
