Information is the most important asset of organizations, currently, the fast, effective and accurate access is vital for strategic decision making and the organizations competitiveness. The education area is not the exception, so this article aims to share the experiences of collaboration between two Universities about learning analitycs and academic analytics tools, to motivate other universities...
Beyond providing alternatives to build rubrics, a group of researchers in Tecnológico de Costa Rica found the need to implement best practices in the definition and validation of evaluation rubrics, to encourage the creation of a Higher Education bank of assessment instruments. To achieve this goal, in the Tecnológico de Costa Rica, a teacher training process was established, which includes cooperative-collaborative...
This paper aims to present the experience of implementing a recommender system for selecting learning objects (LO) for lessons through the Learning Management System (LMS) of Costa Rica Institute of Technology. Our implementation approach is made up of three components: A user model based on the descriptions of the lessons of a course given in an Instructional Design (ID), a serie of items which constitute...
There are a large number of educational resources available on the Internet through different repositories. However, authenticity methods of learning objects has not been widely adopted by repositories, making it difficult to verify the authors of the content. To solve this problem, our goal is to aid users and authors of learning objects to have a trusted verification of authenticity and versioning...
Plan and take into account the whole picture of the course before it starts, must be a prerequisite for the instructors. At the Tecnológico de Costa Rica, a problem related to course planning has been identified it is the low detail of the courses planing, associated with the relation between the content and the competences, evaluations and learning objectives, there is not a logical flow on the courses...
In the teaching and learning process, one of the most widely used assessments under the constructivist model is to work in groups. This has many advantages, but also weaknesses such as lack of collaboration, poor organization, difficulty in assessing, poor communication, among others. This paper describes the functionality of the Collaborative Logical Framework and the redesign made by the TEC Digital...
Nowadays, mobile technologies offer vast possibilities to extend and enrich learning activities. The constant evolution and growing use of these technologies, makes them a powerful instrument to promote a more inclusive education world-wide. Higher Education Institutions must then take advantage of these technologies in order to improve their learning processes. In this context, this paper presents...
This work proposes an adaptive system using Bayesian networks to generate learning activities for students based on their course performance evaluation. Different learning activities are combined into learning paths in order to reinforce student knowledge on specific course contents. The proposed system was used in a b-learning course offered at the Computer Science School of Instituto Tecnológico...
TecDigital is the e-learning project of the Costa Rica Institute of Technology (TEC). This paper describes the main characteristics of TEC Digital as a successful case study of e-learning integration in higher education in Costa Rica. In particular, the paper describes TEC Digital objectives and organization, development stages, instructor involvement approach, projects and training, institutional...
TEC Digital is the e-learning platform used in Tecnológico de Costa Rica (TEC). This learning environment has a notification service via e-mail as main means of communication between teachers and students, but it does not guarantee that students receive and read their email on time. Faced with a need of more flexible communication channels on learning communities, we sought an alternative method to...
