This research work aims to use solar energy instead of conventional electric power for the operation of a mini-server and a virtual classroom, especially in schools where there is no electricity or in those that want to save the payment for the consumption of electric power. The system was tested by 32 classroom teachers from 4 schools in the province of Abancay in Apurímac-Perú. In each school, teachers were trained in the installation of the equipment: the mini-server and the Access Point, both devices are connected to the solar panel and work with 5V and 12V respectively. In normal climatic conditions, the equipment works continuously and without problems for 24 hours. They were also trained in the use and management of the mini-server, in the administration of the virtual classroom and in the creation of educational materials, especially for the area of mathematics. The results show that the monthly electric power consumption of the mini-server is 2.88 Kw/h and in conventional server is 67.68 Kw/h., Therefore, it has been significantly reduced in the consumption of energy; in addition to the cost, the school would have to pay 113.35 dollars annually for electric power consumption of a conventional server and with the mini-server the cost would be zero. Finally, the teachers are satisfied with the operation of the mini-server.

This communication introduces the current implementation of the Inclusive Innovation Project "Digitization of Libraries within the framework of the Marrakesh Treaty (BIDYA 2)" developed at Universidad de la República, Uruguay. The aims of the project are: 1) development of library digitization and accessibility methodologies; 2) federation of accessible libraries; 3) information literacy for users of accessible digital libraries; and 4) strategies for the adoption of Accessible Digital Library by university communities. BIDYA 2 seeks to contribute to inclusive education, favoring the transit and permanence of students in educational centers by making access to accessible bibliography available. These developments, since they are the first to be implemented within the framework of the Marrakesh Treaty, will contribute to establishing good practices and guidelines for the development of similar initiatives at the national, regional and international levels.

The e-assessment is a crucial process that allows to validate the previous state of knowledge acquired by the student, as well as to monitor his/her progress and/or validate the level of knowledge obtained by him/her at the end of the learning process. The aim of this paper is to propose a fuzzy inference model for determining the difficulty level of e-assessment questions within adaptive instructional systems, thus allowing to integrate and analyze key features of the questions properly matching with the student's cognitive profile for an appropriate question selection. In order to validate the model a prototype was built and tested through a case study. Results obtained demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy inference model for adaptive e-assessment instructional systems.

Is there a recommended language to start in the world of programming? Does the teaching of programming facilitate the learning of other scientific subjects? Is it possible to take advantage of the relationship that exists between mathematics and computing for the mutual benefit of their teaching? The MateFun project arises with the intention of approaching disciplines that intersect in the field of education, based on the transversality of information and communication technologies with respect to Engineering, Communications, Psychology, Teaching, and Pedagogy. In Uruguay, computer courses are increasingly being integrated into curricular content, since learning to program seems to be part of the skills needed for today’s people. However, programming, in general, is absent in mathematics teaching, contrary to the inherent relationship of both. Also, according to 2017 data from the Educational Monitor of the National Administration of Public Education of Uruguay, Mathematics is the least approved subject of the basic secondary cycle. MateFun is a functional programming language, accessible from a web application, especially aimed at math functions learning. It is intended that through MateFun the learning of programming strengthens the appropriation of the concept of a mathematical function, at the same through this project we seek to generate scientific evidence of the transfer or the contributions of programming learning to math. Results of our first intervention show that the adolescents who experimented with MateFun had at least similar performance to those who learned functions by traditional methods, but also acquired basic knowledge of functional programming. In addition, teacher perception of Matefun group performance was significantly greater than those of the control group only during the intervention.

This article describes a model of approach to STEM education in the perspective of educational innovation based on professional teacher development. The conception of the STEM Expansions Program, set in a Community of Practice formed by educators of formal and non-formal education Institutions in Brazil, is articulated with concrete practice in the school, because we understand that professional development is only effective through reflection of practice and sustains the evolution of school culture. The STEM Expansions model implemented with students treats addresses the integration of STEM areas as a means of bringing real problems within the school and to go beyond simply assembling a technological device or solving the challenges associated with it, expanding to other áreas of the curriculum in a transdisciplinary perspective and maintain the focus on the formation of critical and ethical thinking, especially in the relationships between science, technology and society.

Technologies have transformed many things in our daily lives, from simple activities, like purchasing goods, to complex tasks, like learning. As a result of the immersion in digital culture, there is a tendency in our society to move towards a digital school, where learners will be able to benefit from someone else's learning, in and out of brick and mortar schools, aided by computers. With so many different ways of virtual interaction, ideas arise but are lost in the flood of information available on existing networks. However, individuals who interact within this environment or with others individuals, are often oblivious to being in a learning ecosystem. We are living a technological age from the perspective of a digital culture, in view of this, a learning ecosystem in digital culture can be defined as the union of agents humans or synthetics, with environment in which cognition occurs through the interactions. This article presents a conceptual metamodel from which we can define formal learning ecosystem models. In addition, we also present an instance of the metamodel in the form of an ubiquitous software architecture. The general idea is to get individuals freed from the limits imposed by the traditional Virtual Learning Environments.

The present work exposes the main results of the application of a linear programming activity through the use of Geogebra software developed with future teachers of mathematics, this activity has been designed under the approach of the Theory of the Didactic Situations. The objective of the activity was to determine how the use of Geogebra software can influence the better understanding of mathematical knowledge related to linear programming in future teachers. The results show that the design of an appropriate activity in combination with the use of software offer great advantages both to teachers and students to acquire and consolidate the main mathematical knowledge.

This article shows the experience of a mathematical modeling activity presented using the Tinker Plots software. It applies to 42 students of around 15 years, at the level of first of the Unified General Baccalaureate (BGU) of two public educational institutions of Ecuador. This proposal aims to report the advantages or disadvantages of using modeling as a methodology in classrooms since the Ecuadorian Curriculum is requested to manage it. The results obtained show the improvement in motivation when using technology, as well as several proposals for solutions according to their points of view, reflection and analysis, which shows that in reality there are situations that can be resolved in different ways.
