Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) systems not only enable group learning independently of students' location and time, but also foster the development of leadership abilities. However, given that interactions that promote learning do not occur spontaneously, the participation of tutors is needed to promote students' interactions and resolve group conflicts. Even when the tasks of a teacher in a virtual environment are not an extension of their tasks in traditional classrooms, teachers tend to use in e-learning contexts the same practices they use in traditional education. Considering that the skills of an e-tutor in CSCL belong to the category of acquired skills, we propose to develop an application aiming at training e-tutors in these skills. With this purpose in mind, we reviewed existing automatic techniques for analyzing student-teachers' interactions, as well as teachers' roles, activities and competences in the context of CSCL. We present in this article a review of the state of the arte in these areas.

A working prototype for alternative visualizations of environmental data (currently, ionizing radiation) measured with bGeigie nano Safecast sensors is presented. Contrary to previous interfaces, in this visualization users have finer control of the displayed data (i.e., can determine date ranges, compare locations, decide the averaging areas, etc.) and more detailed information of the resulting visualization (size of the samples per day and per region, etc.). With this new data visualization, it is easier to compare local environment figures with those of other regions of the planet.

This paper proposes a framework, called Ubiquitous Laboratory for Practical Activities (u-LabPA), which allows students to bring in data from laboratory practices and access them retrospectively in the form of simulations or virtual environments. Simulations were conducted using Petri nets to analyze the system behavior and its application in a physical Laboratory.

In a computer supported collaborative learning environment, students are organized into groups and work together to achieve a common goal, using the computer as a communication, collaborate and coordination tool. Under the premise that every student in a group behaves in a certain way to collaborate, thus demonstrating a learning style, this research demonstrates the existence of certain relationships between learning styles of students in a collaborative group and group academic performance. To discover these combinations of learning style, collaborative experiences were carried out with groups of degree students and data mining techniques was applied.

Personality of software developers professionals has been a continuous element of interest in academic research. Researchers have applied different models of personality analysis in various software engineering areas to identify improvement points, to promote job satisfaction and to better organize teams. This paper aims to conduct a study, by means of an experience report, to evaluate the MBTI personality model (Myers-Briggs Type Indication) applied to software developers and to understand how human personality influences professionals' work. The experience was applied in one private university to 6 developers to measure quality of developed software by means of Object Oriented Software Metrics. Each software analyzed was developed by a single developer. Evidence was found that developers with MBTI type “INTJ” (Introvert, iNtuitive, Thinking, Judging), presented lower levels of depth of inheritance tree (DIT) and “slightly” smaller methods (LOC). As a result, it is clear that further research on the relationship between personality and object-oriented software metrics is needed.
专业软件开发人员的个性一直是学术研究中持续关注的一个因素。研究者们在不同的软件工程领域应用了不同的人格分析模型,以识别改进点,提高工作满意度,更好地组织团队。本文旨在通过一份经验报告来评估MBTI人格模型(Myers-Briggs Type Indication)在软件开发人员中的应用,并了解人格如何影响专业人员的工作。该经验应用于一所私立大学的6名开发人员,通过面向对象软件度量来度量所开发软件的质量。所分析的每个软件都是由单个开发人员开发的。有证据表明,MBTI类型为“INTJ”(内向、直觉、思考、判断)的开发人员表现出较低的继承树深度(DIT)水平和“略”较小的方法(LOC)。因此,很明显,需要进一步研究个性和面向对象软件度量之间的关系。

Nowadays the transportation systems show new challenges in management and supervision issues due to amount of vehicles and the variability and extension of the roads. New technologies have been developed to get information about traffic in cities. Nevertheless, new frameworks with different technologies applied to traffic monitoring have not been well defined. In this paper, a new framework with Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID) applied to road traffic monitoring is exposed. In order to validate the designed framework, an experiment in a university campus was carried out, concluding the effectiveness of the RFID technology for traffic monitoring.

The stages of this proposal are approaching, diagnostic, preparation, development, and monitoring. The results obtained in the monitoring stage demonstrate that the community of practice impacts positively for potentiating the knowledge, skills and abilities of its members. This allows members to increase the possibility to be hired in a labour market, which is in constant growth.

Promote health universally is a major challenge for society. For this reason, the World Health Organization (WHO) set targets related to Primary Health Care (PHC), emphasizing the importance of the issue for the world. Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is essential for achieving the goals. Meet people in remote locations is one such current concerns. Telehealth is the use of ICTs to address this concern. But the variety of technologies and concepts, makes it difficult to choose the best solutions. Therefore, evaluation of technology is an important factor, so you can make decisions without major problems in the future. This paper aims to evaluate the use of Interactive Digital TV as ICT support for Telehealth based on the execution of the steps of an assessment methodology. Describing the relationship of technology with the principles of Primary Health Care (PHC), maturity and relevance, their benefits, their difficulties and political influences on their choice and development. Summing up the results in a SWOT matrix (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats).

This paper presents a bridge between theory and hardware implementations of radio direction finding (RDF) techniques particularly Angle of Arrival (AoA) and radiolocalization technique namely Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) in non-collaborative scenarios. It presents aspects that must be considered in the system design and performance tests, including antenna array features in AoA. Minimum required distance between target node (TN) and reference nodes (RN), sampling frequency, etc., in TDoA. Furthermore, the paper presents a method to calculate the experimental estimation range value in TDoA algorithms.

Nowadays, the mobility is a growing problem that worries the governments in Latin American countries. In fact, to improve the mobility the transportation planning process and the ITS technologies are key areas, which should work together to give solutions to solve or mitigate the problem. One of the most used tools in transportation planning to face this problem is the origin/destination (O/D) matrix, which is used to estimate the moving of users and future demand on transportation systems. Nevertheless, the current technologies for the generation of traffic data information, the matrix O/D in this case, create a new problem for handle the heterogeneous data especially for the traffic centers, which use these data for traffic management. The novelty of this paper is focused on the design of an exchange information component, which send the O/D matrix information to the traffic centers based on DATEX II approach.
