Soluzioni innovative nell’e-learning: l’insegnante “in ruolo” nelle comunità virtuali.
2012
Un settore dinamico nella ricerca educativa è quello relativo alla correlazione tra la formazione degli insegnanti, la progettazione del sillabo e i risultati conseguiti dagli studenti. Alla luce dei recenti comportamenti sociali emergenti, in questo saggio si analizza la figura dell’insegnante nella progettazione degli ambienti di formazione online. Superando i limiti del Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) e le criticità del Personal Learning Environment (PLE) si focalizza l’attenzione sul concetto di person in place, che vive esperienze formative in luoghi densi di relazioni sociali e tecnologicamente arricchiti. Oggi le tecnologie permettono la creazione di ambienti di apprendimento cara…
On UML modeling tool evaluation, use and training
2017
Unified Modeling Language™ (UML) is an international standard for systems modeling. UML is used for modeling requirements, architecture, detailed design, and software code generation. UML modeling tools offer graphical editors for UML model development, generating software from UML models, creating UML models from the software, and supporting collaborative model development. This thesis offers new knowledge about UML modeling tool use, evaluation, and training. The main research question is: How can a globally distributed product company where UML modeling activities are scattered across different locations and countries implement a UML modeling tool? Five studies comprise the research proc…
Effects of Service Learning on Physical Education Teacher Education Students’ Subjective Happiness, Prosocial Behavior, and Professional Learning
2020
Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effects of a service learning (SL) program on the subjective happiness (SH), prosocial behavior (PB), and professional learning (PL) perceptions of Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) students as well as to examine the correlations among these variables. Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design of two non-equivalent groups (control and experimental) comparing pre-test and post-test data. The instruments used were the Subjective Happiness Scale, the Prosocial and Civic Competence questionnaire, and the Impact of Service Learning during Initial Training of Physical Activity and Sports questionnaire. Results: Data indicated that SL onl…
Uso de blogs y evaluación continua del aprendizaje del alumnado universitario
2013
Se presenta una experiencia de innovación educativa consistente en la evaluación continua del aprendizaje mediante el uso de blogs. Se desarrolló durante el curso 2010-2011, en un grupo de cinco asignaturas de las Universidades de Valencia y Castilla La Mancha. Las diversas formas de evaluación del aprendizaje que se implementaron, se concretan en tres tipos de usos participativos de los blogs: a) a través de los comentarios; b) de la elaboración de posts; o, c) como administradores. La experiencia llevada a cabo muestra que los blogs pueden ser un valioso instrumento para promover el trabajo autónomo de los estudiantes y contribuir a la actualización de las formas de evaluación tradicional…
Distributed Leadership and the Visibility/Invisibility Paradox in On-line Communities
2011
This paper analyzes the role of distributed leadership in three on-line communities, reflecting on an observed visibility/invisibility paradox in leadership within these communities. Leaders who downplay their seniority and assume a degree of invisibility, allocating discretionary powers to subordinate levels in an organizational hierarchy, may facilitate the emergence of distributed leadership. Yet, simultaneously, leader-led relations are enabled by high leadership visibility. This paradox—that leaders need to be both highly visible and also invisible, or hands-off, when the occasion requires it—was derived from prior research into e-learning communities and tested in the analysis of disc…
Formazione Service e-Learning: esperienza media-educativa
2023
The use of technology is an interesting device, which constitutes a useful self-training approach, related to an experience, from which to extract significant materials and traces of their personal learning. In Italy, Service Learning (SL) projects that use digital media in the university environment are still rare and therefore there are not many data and research results related to the introduction of SL in the training of future teachers. On the contrary, at the international level we find a vast scientific literature on SL and its applications, also in the academic field. Service e-Learning (Se-L) can in fact represent an essential approach for university education, which allows student…

The Role of e-Tutor Competencies in Postgraduate e-Learning Courses: Spotlight on Emotion Management
2021
The role of e-learning in the existing and challenging educational era is crucial. However, it is necessary to overcome some drawbacks such as feelings of isolation and a lack of emotional contact. In this sense, emotion management is a key driver of student satisfaction in e-learning, which is significantly related to students’ motivation, learning, cognitive strategies, self-regulation, and personality antecedents in the classroom. This article examines an online postgraduate course in financial statements auditing, describing the resources used by the e-tutor to conduct affective tutorials, reduce students’ feelings of isolation, increase student involvement, and achieve success in e-lea…
Ten Years’ Experience with an E-Learning Lecture Series on Cancer Biology and Pharmacology
2013
In life sciences, the internet is an indispensable medium for research, but has not yet realized its full potential for teaching. The concept of e-learning has been developed over the past decades for undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate programs. We set up an e-learning lecture on cancer biology and pharmacology that was first offered in 2003 to students of Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Heidelberg and to students of Pharmacy at the University of Mainz, Germany. The present paper recapitulates the first decade of experiences with this e-learning lecture from both the students’ and the teachers’ perspectives. A total of 317 students during the past 10 years participated in…
