RESUMEN En la actual sociedad de la información y del conocimiento se observa cómo la proliferación y el auge de los dispositivos móviles, hacen surgir nuevos modelos de aprendizaje que reformulan las metodologías didácticas, organizativas, y de formación de los currículos, para innovar en educación (Moreno Martínez, Leiva Olivencia, & Matas Terrón, 2016). Los estudios que identifican las tecnologías emergentes que podrían impactar en el aprendizaje, la enseñanza y la investigación, prevén el aumento del uso y la incorporación de dispositivos y aplicaciones móviles en las aulas (Reig, 2013; Reig & Vílchez, 2013). Destaca el aprendizaje basado en juegos o gamificación, que permite desarrollar procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje que facilitan la cohesión, la integración y la motivación, potenciando la creatividad del alumnado. Crear juegos entretenidos motivará al alumnado para que participe de forma activa en clase, fomentará una sana competencia entre los jugadores, y hará del aprendizaje algo más divertido (Aleksić-Maslać, Rašić, & Vranešić, 2018). Utilizando Kahoot en dispositivos móviles como soporte para las clases de Dirección de Operaciones del Grado en Administración y Dirección de Empresas de la Universidad de Cádiz, se consiguió motivar al alumnado y, aun existiendo otros factores determinantes, mejorar sus resultados de evaluación.   ABSTRACT In today's information and knowledge society, the proliferation and rise of mobile devices has led to the emergence of new learning models that reformulate didactic, organizational and curricular training methodologies in order to innovate in education (Moreno Martínez, Leiva Olivencia, & Matas Terrón, 2016). Studies that identify emerging technologies that could impact learning, teaching and research, foresee increased use and incorporation of mobile devices and applications in classrooms (Reig, 2013; Reig & Vílchez, 2013). Learning based on games or gamification stands out, which allows the development of teaching-learning processes that facilitate cohesion, integration and motivation, boosting students' creativity. Creating entertaining games will motivate students to participate actively in class, encourage healthy competition between players, and make learning more fun (Aleksić-Maslać, Rašić, & Vranešić, 2018). Using Kahootin mobile devices as support for the classes of Operations Management of the Degree in Business Administration and Management of the University of Cadiz, it was possible to motivate the students and, although there are other determining factors, to improve their evaluation results.

As in a number of other continents, Africa experienced a wave of student and union protests in May 1968. One of its epicenters was in Senegal, based at the University of Dakar, also known as the “eighteenth French university,” where students from France and almost all Francophone Africa were directed. The events of May 1968 in Senegal were primarily caused by local factors, although similarities with the global youth protest movement can also be found. Initially ignited by a student revolt over the conditions of scholarships, the movement spread to high school students and workers’ unions, gaining the support of the working classes, while the party-state relied on the army’s loyalty as well as the support of marabouts, the Muslim leaders. This in turn expanded the crisis, first from Dakar to other parts of the country, then from Senegal to the native countries of the students who had been arrested and expelled after the university campus had been stormed by the police. At the crossroads between an escalating student strike, a student movement infiltrated by political opposition or foreign influence, a rebellion against neocolonialism, as well as a sense of weariness due to difficult social and economic circumstances, May 1968 in Senegal resembled a protest against the personal power of President Senghor as well as a demonstration led by young people who, like their counterparts abroad, wanted to change the world. The national crisis, in a context of international turmoil and in interaction with global issues, ended on September 26, when the four-month high school strikes satisfactory ended.

Representing distinct parts of Rutgers University—academic innovation and experiential learning, organizational leadership and strategy, and the university library—the authors approach this discussion of agility and cross-university partnerships from three distinct vantage points. Despite different administrative portfolios and scholarly and professional interests, the authors collectively view this moment as one of profound opportunity for our institution and for higher education more broadly. Purposeful collaborations have contributed to new and innovative partnerships that will be discussed in this chapter, including a new learning community for interested members of the New Brunswick Libraries—The Hatchery, a dedicated design thinking and ideation studio centrally located in the Archibald S. Alexander Library—and varying points of convergence with the Innovation, Design, and Entrepreneurship Academy (IDEA) that integrates design and entrepreneurial thinking and leadership development into the Rutgers student experience.

The use of smartphones, despite being mainly social, has begun to be implemented in the university environment as a tool for working in class and for communication between students regarding teaching material. However, before creating teaching methodologies that use these devices, it is important to know the opinion that the students have of them. Our objective was to analyze the personal and academic use of Smartphones by Health Sciences students from different Universities. With this objective, a form was created consisting of sociodemographic questions and the Questionnaire on perceptions and attitudes towards learning through mobile devices (CPAAM). Subsequently, a descriptive analysis of the results was carried out. In total, 233 students participated. Our results showed that the personal is the largest use of Smartphones in these students, while the perception of their educational use is relatively low. Obtaining these data is a starting point for future analyzes that associate the use of these devices with the individual situation of the student, as well as for the effectiveness of the implementation of new learning methodologies.

Google Wave, launched in 2009, can generate a wave, which is a kind of conversation between users and at the same time a document. The conversation can be made of text, pictures, videos, maps, and more. This poster will show some possibility Google Wave give academic libraries to support research, and to help and engage cooperation between teacher and student. Google Wave have the possibility to enable co-writing in different language, and maybe across cultural boundaries, since the system translate seamless between languages while the user is writing. Possible scenarios will be presented. The first one is based on the property Google wave have to rewind and play again the discourse of the participants. With this context we will explore the possibility academic libraries have to develop wave modules for courses. Another scenario will try to introduce the “Wave librarian”, who is a new role academic libraries can fill with help from this new shared service. The University of Oslo is cooperating with other Universities in developing countries, especially in Tanzania. An interesting scenario for the University Library could be if this new tool can help to overcome problems in the communicative landscape of culture and language and give new learning possibility. Using well known didactical framework (Bjørndal, Lieberg 1978) and discussions of learning in library (Sundin 2005), we will stress the Google Wave services to find out if it can really facilitate learning in a new way.

The use of ICT in education has become increasingly important in the education systems of both developed and developing countries. ICT as a course has been introduced in the university programmes. Several researchers have identified a Smartphone as a promising form of ICT in education systems which can revolutionalize career formations. However, there is need for a profound reflection on its possible use in the learning of French as a foreign language in the public universities. This study explored the use of a Smartphone in the learning of French as a foreign language by undergraduate students of the public universities in Kenya. The study focused on the following objectives: First, it assessed the use of a Smartphone in the learning process of French as a foreign language by undergraduate students in universities in Kenya. Secondly, it established when undergraduate students turn to the use of Smartphones in the learning of French as a foreign language. Lastly, it evaluated if the frequent use of a Smartphone by undergraduate students of the public universities in Kenya, adds value to their oral and written linguistic competence. The new knowledge derived from this study would enhance and contribute to new learning techniques of French in the context of the use of a Smartphone. This knowledge would also guide on how this device can be integrated in the learning of French as a foreign language.
