This book reports on a rather unique European experience, the pioneering ECO project for Social MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and recapitulates the whole three-year process. It provides a critical perspective on the future of MOOCs in Europe and provides several comparisons with other existing models and platforms. The book contains chapters that address the major issues connected to MOOC design and implementation. The first 8 chapters cover large issues that extend beyond the ECO project experience, such as creative industries and trans-literacy; management and implementation; learning environments and platforms; dissemination; pedagogical models; interactivity and agility; gamification; evaluation; and business models. The last 3 chapters hone in on narrowly focused topics such as mobility, knowledge transfer and peer to peer evaluation. The specificities of this on-going project (funded by the EU) are: a unique collaborative pedagogy, an intercultural process (6 languages), and focus on intercreativity, the multiplying impact of e-teachers (the community of participants that was empowered to create more than 50 new MOOCs), accessibility and gamification. The book will be of interest due to its holistic approach to MOOCs and its assessment of their opportunities and their limitations. Many issues are explored and contribute to deeper understanding of the phenomenon and its transformative capacities for education and learning.

El libro que aquí se presenta Educación 4.0 en la época de Pandemia y Pospandemia: retos y oportunidades representa un esfuerzo consistente y pertinente que expone lecciones, aprendizajes y áreas de oportunidad que tienen las organizaciones de educación superior a partir del uso generalizado de tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (tic), durante y posterior a la pandemia por COVID-19. Esta obra está dirigida a los docentes y actores involucrados en los procesos educativos, pues no es conveniente dar vuelta a la hoja y retomar las antiguas prácticas presenciales y tradicionales después de todo el aprendizaje acumulado que se gestó durante esta etapa de contingencia, sino que estas experiencias nos conduzcan hacia escenarios de la Educación 4.0, indispensable para la conformación de ciudadanos del México del siglo XXI.

El proyecto "SINED-CLARISE para la educación a distancia" tuvo por objetivo el generar conocimiento en torno a modelos de enseñanza acordes con las necesidades de la educación a distancia y el enfoque de formación en competencias, a través de la creación de proyectos integrados en los que se conjuntaran los conocimientos y experiencias de investigadores y docentes especializados en dicha modalidad educativa. El movimiento educativo abierto constituyó el punto central del proyecto, conceptualizado este movimiento como las actividades educativas de acceso abierto que permite prácticas formativas que van desde el uso de recursos educativos abiertos (REA) disponibles en internet, la producción de materiales con licenciamiento abierto, la selección de REA a través de repositorios y conectores que actúan como infomediarios de los catálogos de REA, la diseminación de prácticas en entornos académicos, gubernamentales, institucionales, etc. y la movilización hacia las prácticas educativas.

Este libro ofrece una mirada a los procesos de adaptación e integración que actualmente acontecen en el campo educativo como consecuencia de la ubicuidad y prevalencia de la tecnología en la sociedad actual. La denominada revolución digital obliga a los agentes educativos a una profunda reflexión acerca de cómo los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje deben adaptarse a los nuevos desarrollos tecnológicos y a las tendencias que sobre éstos se articulan. En este contexto, esta obra conjuga teoría y práctica con el objeto de, por un lado, proporcionar a los docentes una visión panorámica del impacto de la tecnología en los procesos educativos y, por otro lado, visualizar aportaciones de la investigación e innovación educativa que se caracterizan por una aplicabilidad efectiva en las aulas del siglo XXI. En este sentido, la concepción multidisciplinar del texto posibilita una comprensión global de las dinámicas de cambio que es necesario movilizar en los sistemas educativos para dar una respuesta adecuada a las nuevas necesidades de la sociedad digital. En la misma línea, este libro pretende capturar la naturaleza poliédrica de la tecnología y, en consecuencia, analiza una gran variedad de desarrollos y tendencias tecnológicas emergentes (por ejemplo, BYOD, inteligencia artificial, robótica, pensamiento computacional, etc.) con el propósito de brindar al lector un conocimiento práctico de cara a una implementación efectiva de la tecnología en las aulas.

This concise text discusses a wide range of quantitative research methods, including advanced techniques such as logic regression, multilevel modeling, and structural equation modeling. Because the text emphasizes concepts rather than mathematics and computation formulas, it is accessible to a wide range of users of research. Professional practitioners in areas such education, business, social work, and psychology can gain an understanding of research methods sufficient to base their work on advanced research in their fields. The text discusses the quantitative designs and analytic techniques most needed by students in the social sciences and in applied disciplines such as education, social work, and business. It teaches what the various methods mean, when to use them, and how to interpret their results. Since it emphasizes general understanding rather than mathematical foundations, students are able to review a broad range of methods in a comparatively short space.
