This research on open, interdisciplinary and collaborative innovations called, “MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses),” analyzes the responses of 2799 participants about their perceptions of achieving their professional development goals and the competencies they sought to have acquired by the end of the course compared to their expectations at the ti...

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) concentrate an important number of students and are set up as an alternative for acquiring knowledge and continuing education. The objective of this article is to analyze how the quality and effectiveness of the MOOCs were measured in empirical studies between 2012 and 2017. For which a systematic mapping study o...

Un grupo grande y el hecho de que la química orgánica generalmente se considera un tema difícil ocasionan desafíos para la persona instructora. En este artículo se describe la evaluación de la efectividad del uso de herramientas Web 2.0 en las clases de química orgánica para apoyar la comprensión de conceptos básicos por parte del estudiantado, en...

This research project analyzes the motivation and learning perceived by the participants in four Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) that use innovative education strategies in order to train the community in Education for Sustainability. These MOOCs were delivered during 2017 and the study forms part of the subproject “Open, Interdisciplinary and...

Los laboratorios de innovación social, han surgido como una respuesta emergente para los problemas que se enfrentan en la sociedad y tienen relación con la cultura, la ciencia, la salud, el ambiente, la educación, la política, entre otros. En la actualidad, las universidades se han motivado para trabajar en conjunto con grupos interdisciplinarios y...

The purpose of this study is to show how a remote lab (RL) is used to supplement theoretical courses for first- and second-year engineering students. This is an exploratory study. The study centers on their learning and motivation in usingan RL to learn about the transient state. The main concern of the study is that students at this stage are not...

Es un libro que, además de estar dirigido a comunidades académicas, tiene también aportes para la formación empresarial, universidades corporativas y otras or...

The purpose of this chapter is to present a case study for evaluating the competences (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) applied by students in Higher Education by using m-learning devices in a course taught in an online distance education. The research question was: Which skills do the students need to learn through m-learning devices? Two variabl...

Active learning engages students in the process of learning through activities and discussions in class; it emphasizes higher order thinking and often involves group work.[1] This could provide a dynamic active learning environment in today’s classroom. Engineers in leadership roles are required to have a great number of competencies to properly me...

Flexibility, technology and innovation can lead to challenging learning environments. The research question: What are students' meanings and experiences in inverted learning environments? The investigation methodology was mixed with three instruments applied to 568 students. Flexible environments, active learning and inverted learning were analyzed...

An innovative teaching model, facilitated by recent advances in technology, is gaining popularity across college campuses, especially in college science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This new model inverts or 'flips' the usual classroom paradigm, in that students learn initial course concepts outside of the classroom, while clas...
