Since its creation in 2014, the Robot Programming Network (RPN) has been an environment to learn and teach robotics to the general public, which has also allowed us to learn about education. In this paper, we aim to not only present the RPN and the active courses in the system but also show the evolution of this initiative in front of the changing e-learning environment and its possible future evolution towards Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) and cloud simulation.

It is the best way to maximized the studying time in limited rooms.E-learning could help teaching and  learning process more efficient. To realize E-learning Application in SMK Negeri 1 Pangkalpinang, it can be carried out by Learning Management System (LMS) design using Moodle. Moodle (Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) is one off the free LMS that can be downloaded, be utilized and be modified with a license as GPU (General Public License).

La interaccin entre plataformas virtuales desarrolladas con sistemas de software como Moodle, de tanta implementacin para los campus virtuales de la Educacin Superior, y el reciente modelo pedaggico que ofrece el fenmeno MOOC (Massive Online Open Courses), basado en la masividad y gratuidad de la formacin, ofrecen nuevas perspectivas en la configuracin de las estructuras acadmicas, docentes y cientficas universitarias. En el presente artculo, una investigacin terica basada en el mtodo de modelacin, se tiene como principal objetivo analizar y estudiar las especiales caractersticas y formas de ambos fenmenos, y las posibles interacciones que se pueden producir entre ellos en la creacin de futuros modelos de enseanza en Educacin Superior.

ResumenEl aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida requiere la adquisición de unas competencias clave por parte de los ciudadanos. Un ejemplo de competencia clave es la competencia digital. Para su desarrollo se considera relevante contemplar la oferta de nuevas asignaturas que integren aspectos de gestión de la identidad digital y entornos personales de aprendizaje. Este artículo propone una nueva asignatura para la capacitación digital del estudiante universitario, de carácter online y con tutorías virtuales y presenciales. El objetivo de este estudio es presentar los aspectos considerados para el diseño del modelo de asignatura para la competencia digital del estudiante universitario. La asignatura contempla el seguimiento de cursos abiertos masivos en línea con el objeto de trabajar competencias transversales y específicas de la asignatura, a la vez que el alumno se familiariza con su entorno personal de aprendizaje. Para la gestión y evaluación de la asignatura se emplea una plataforma e-learning y un servicio de blogs institucional. Los resultados muestran la experiencia de aplicar el modelo en el marco del Máster Universitario en Eficiencia Energética en la Edificación, la Industria y el Transporte, de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid en el curso 2016/17. Se identifica la necesidad de aplicar esta asignatura en futuras promociones del máster, así como en otros programas de posgrado, con el fin de cuantificar la eficacia del modelo y su adecuación para la consecución de las competencias digitales previstas.AbstractLifelong learning requires the acquisition of key competences by citizens. One of the key competences is digital competence. Therefore, new subjects that integrate digital identity and the aspects of the personal learning environments should be considered. This paper proposes a new online course for developing the digital competence of university students, with virtual and face-to-face tutoring. The objective of this study is to present the aspects considered to design the model of course for the digital competence of university students. The course includes the training through massive online open courses undertaken by students to reach general and specific competencies, being at the same time a tool for the student to gain familiarity with their personal learning environment. The management of the course, as well as the student assessment, are conducted through an institutional e-learning platform and a blogging service. The results show the experience of implementing the model in the framework of the Master’s degree in “Eficiencia Energética en la Edificación, la Industria y el Transporte”, of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, in the academic course 2016/17. The results show a model of course that considers The need of implementing this course in the coming batches of students of the master and other postgraduate programmes is identified, aiming to quantify the effectiveness and appropriateness of the course for the achievement of the foreseen digital competencies.
