- PublicationOpen AccessSequencing of contents and learning objects - part III(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2006) Zapata Ros, MiguelThis is the third part of the article under the same name published in the previous issue of RED. It was then that we stated a vision of the selection and sequencing of learning objects in the context of curricular planning, from the constructivist perspective. In the field of web-based training, we pointed out the importance of having tools and autonomous criteria that guide this process on our own and on external basis, above the prescriptions of technological tools, and from the need of having standardized formats to exchange data. The above mentioned becomes more relevant in the field of e-learning for general purposes, in the areas of academic formation, corporate and general training. It covers the area of formal, non-formal and informal education as well. We have also mentioned the needs the e-learning industry has to fulfil at present in relation to instructional design of learning objects. These needs are both a priority and a challenge. In the first part of this article we developed the constructivist perspective and the concept of technological tools as educational resources, as well as a revision of concepts that are related to e-learning, learning objects, reusable learning objects (RLO) and reusability. In the second part, we dealt with the basis for the theories that rule the procedures for selecting contents, the basic presupposition and the description of the sequencing techniques. In particular, we focused on three of them: Content Analysis Technique, Task Analysis Technique, and Elaboration Theory. In our third and last part, we undertake several issues – not trying to solve them but just in their proposal as enunciation: Is the concept of reusable learning object compatible with the requirements of interdependence of the learning contents? If this is so, what are the requirements for those learning contents?
- PublicationOpen AccessLas TIC en un entorno latinoamericano de educación a distancia: la experiencia de la UNED de Costa Rica(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2006) Méndez-Estrada, V.; Monge Nájera, JuliánLa enseñanza a distancia contemporánea agrega, a las tradicionales tecnologías de impresión de libros, tecnologías más recientes de información y comunicación (TIC), las cuales en el caso de la Universidad Estatal a Distancia de Costa Rica se unifican en unidades didácticas modulares. Este artículo resume nuestra experiencia de primera mano durante una década, explicando las ventajas y desventajas que ha tenido su uso en el contexto costarricense. Al romper barreras de tiempo y distancia geográfica, las TICS han facilitado llevar la educación a distancia a más sectores de la población costarricense. Sin embargo, tienen la desventaja de estar sujetas a la brecha digital (en Costa Rica, esta brecha afecta a las zonas rurales y a las mujeres) y en la UNED de Costa Rica enfrentan además una resistencia pasiva por parte de las generaciones de mayor edad. Es posible que las TIC deban esperar a una nueva generación para que dominen plenamente el diseño, la producción y la entrega de la docencia en la UNED costarricense
- PublicationOpen AccessHacia un aula virtual plurilingüe y multicultural(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2006) Delgado, A. M.; Salomón, L.; Oliver, R.The goal of this work is to present a series of reflections about the creation of a multilingual virtual classroom to promote student exchanges through the Internet among European universities, not just as an alternative to the traditional exchange but as a new modality of exchange. The Multilingual Virtual Classroom (AVP) means a real possibility to offer a subject in different languages at the same time with the help of automatic translators. We base our proposal on three theoretical aspects: 1. Multilingualism as a key element in European educational policies. 2. Research advances in communicative skills and, specifically, in multilingual competence. 3. Improvement of machine translation systems. The ultimate goal of the multilingual virtual classroom would be that students developed an intercultural communicative competence so they were initiated into the art of understanding, in a foreign language, those students who come from other cultures
