Given the challenges that Mexico is facing in terms of energy sustainability, mainly in the electricity sector, the project 266632 “Binational Laboratory for the Intelligent Management of Energy Sustainability and Technological Training” has emerged. One of the innovative solutions offered by the Binational Laboratory to meet the training needs in this area is to offer a set of MOOCs (massive open online courses). This research is part of this project and aims to understand how the components of innovation (attributes) work in the instructional design of a MOOC, which integrates open educational resources (OER) and gamification, offered from January to March 2017. There are four components observed: the idea of the new, the phenomenon of change, the final action and the process. The method used was the mixed method, under a sequential explanatory design. As results, it was found that the attribute of the new is presented in a pedagogical model that integrates gamification, as well as in the presentation of content through high-impact short videos, infographics and OER. The phenomenon of change is understood through the integration of a multidisciplinary team around the issue of energy. The final action is present in the collaboration, communication and commitment of the specialists. While the attribute of the process showed that in open, collaborative and multidisciplinary innovation challenges and potentials are presented.

Los repositorios institucionales son una pieza fundamental en el ecosistema tecnologico para la Ciencia Abierta. Sobre ellos recae la ruta verde del acceso abierto y, por tanto, son claves en las nuevas politicas de investigacion que se describen en las leyes de la ciencia de muchos paises. Juegan tambien un papel sumamente relevante en la cadena de valor de la visibilidad y reputacion cienti ca de un investigador. Sin embargo, los repositorios son una herramienta lejana para la mayoria de los investigadores, lo que se traduce en perdida de oportunidad para ellos, en perdida de competitividad para las instituciones que los auspician y, en de nitiva, en una perdida para la sociedad en general. Es por ello, que en este articulo se va a re exionar sobre como deberian evolucionar estos repositorios institucionales para conseguir atraer y retener la atencion de los investigadores para que los introduzcan en sus ujos de trabajo dentro del ciclo de sus investigaciones.

The main objective of present work is to show the results of interventions carried out in front of a group of three educational strategies that allowed having better percentages of accreditation and qualification, as well as decrease of dropout compared to those obtained in the last 8 years in initial courses of programming at the Technological University of Puebla. The first intervention involved evaluation of computational thinking through skills of generalization, decomposition, abstraction, evaluation and algorithmic design, this evaluation was the first strategy that allowed offering students 10 learning scenarios for Programming Methodology course. In the second intervention, 4 elements were manipulated to offer study options in Programming course, which were content, work modes, rhythms and time and evaluation; it was the second strategy with intention of creating personalized education. In both interventions, use of Moodle platform allowed exposing learning content and having an extra tool for students; the third strategy was consequently the use of b-learning. The main result obtained through voluntary surveys carried out by students, was the generation of a learning experience that contributed to motivation of student in line with academic goals of the aforementioned courses, so it can be concluded that combination of the strategies carried out in the two interventions improved accreditation rates and decreased percentage of dropouts, although there is still work to be done to improve average rating.

One of the best skills for everyone, for now, and for the future, is problem-solving. Computational thinking is the way to help us to develop that skill. Computational Thinking can be defined as a set of skills for problemsolving based on computer techniques. Computational thinking is needed everywhere and is going to be a key to success in almost all careers, not only for a scientist but for many professionals, like doctors, lawyers, teachers or farmers. For many problems it is a good idea to make a plan for its resolution using some of the techniques of computer science, such as: breaking down a complex problem into smaller parts that are more manageable and easier to understand, or solve—decomposition; looking for similarities among and within problems and others experiences—pattern recognition; focusing on the important information only, and pulling out specific differences to make one solution work for multiple problems: abstraction; developing a step-by-step solution to the problem: algorithms. This plan can be used by everyone, regardless of their area of knowledge, task or age. It is essential that these techniques are practiced and developed very early. In recent years we have to see the proliferation of numerous projects with the specific objective of encouraging the study of Computational thinking. The projects of massification of computational thinking and coding are now starting to be implemented in our education system in Portugal. Most students of the first year of the Computer Engineering course, from the IPG, mostly did not have the opportunity to develop computational thinking throughout their student life. In this paper, we present the results of a case study using follow and give instructions to improve their capacities in Computational Thinking..

This article proposes an evaluation the quality in educational websites of two degrees of education, Primary School and the High school. To stablish this analysis was used a Model of Evaluation of the Quality of Educational Websites (EQEWS) divided into Functional Aspects, with five criteria: authority, update, usability, accessibility and communication; and Technical-Aesthetic Aspects, with five principles: graphic design and multimedia quality, content, navigation, speed of access and interaction. This propose model of evaluation applied to 57 websites, according to the Likert scale of 0 to 4. We conclude that Secondary School web sites achieved better results in most of the evaluated criteria, it is verified that the authors of these resources are entirely identified with the needs and with the requirement that this degree of education requires the students, with levels of focused on achieving excellent results for university entrance.

The training of young researchers from tertiary education represents a latent concern in educational centers worldwide. In that sense, there are private and public initiatives that encourage scientific culture inside and outside the school curriculum; such as the Summer Science Program in Mexico. This program aims to provide university students with research competence, to incorporate them into the production, creation, and transfer of knowledge through various means: graduate studies, collaboration with solid research groups, among others, so that they contribute to the social, economic, and technological development of their region. Therefore, this work inquires the research competence levels shown in eight generations of undergraduate students in a public university in the Mexican state of Sinaloa that completed the Summer Science Program. In the fieldwork, 227 students participated. They were divided into four knowledge areas: 1) Economic and administrative sciences, 2) Social sciences and humanities, 3) Engineering and Technology, and 4) Biological sciences. As data collecting instruments, interviews and polls were applied, as well as a structured questionnaire composed by 34 items; this report shows the findings of the last one. For the analysis, nonparametric statistics were used, to contrast the competence levels between the different subgroups of students. The results have a descriptive scope, but also allow visualizing a theoretical and empirical spectrum of the needs and strengths of the young researchers training programs

Today, not only diverse design-related disciplines are required to actively deal with the digitization of information and its potentials and side effects for education processes. In Germany, technology didactics developed in vocational education and computer science education in general education, both separated from media pedagogy as an after-school program. Media education is not a subject in German schools yet. However, in the paper we argue for an interdisciplinary approach to learn about computational modeling in creative processes and aesthetic contexts. It crosses the borders of programming technology, arts and design processes in meaningful contexts. Educational scenarios using smart textile environments are introduced and reflected for project based learning.

Conversational Pedagogical Agents are interactive systems that teach students by assuming the role of teacher, student or companion through a natural language dialogue. If has been investigated a lot on the domains in which the agents can be used, the results in terms of educational effectiveness and level of satisfaction and motivation of the students. However, in the literature, there are not many examples of studies that reveal the opinion of school teachers on this type of educational technology. In this paper, we provide the results of a survey of 82 teachers to know what they expect from the agents. The following research questions will be answered: Q1) Do you know this educational technology? Q2) If so, are teachers used to integrate this type of technology in the classroom? and, P3) If teachers could design the agent, what characteristics do they consider to be the most appropriate? How should the agent react to different situations? From the results gathered, it is expected to provide information to all researchers, designers and teachers who want to integrate this type of educational technology in their classroom..

Organizing excursions or afternoon snacks, putting together a team of the most fashionable online game as well as studying in groups and many other things are common activities among young people. Such activities are framed in a project, since they all have a defined time framework, they have limited resources that need to be managed and they set goals that must be met. However, according to our professional experience in university subjects related to IT projects management, teaching this module is difficult because it is taught in the last courses of their degrees and students may reach this level with bad acquired habits. For this reason, we have set out two objectives to carry out this work: On the one hand, to identify everyday activities where we usually apply project management skills without being aware of it. We aim to show our future students the use of good project management practices, following the Project Management Fundamentals Guide (PMBOK® Guide) of the Project Management Institute (PMI), and how to apply them. In this case, we have taken the organization of a barbecue as an example. Thus, the new university student will learn that questions such as where and when will it take place? how many people will be there? what will we bring? among others, hide good project management practices. Young people know more about project management than they think they know. Therefore, bringing this knowledge to light will help them manage a project, naturally and unconsciously, when they reach university degrees. For this purpose, we will display simple techniques and tools in order to make a barbecue be a successful event. On the other hand, to make teachers, both university and nonuniversity, aware of the importance of incorporating basic concepts related to project management, in an entertaining and motivating way, in the early stages of students’ education.
