Education is one of the sectors that improves the future of societies; unfortunately, the pandemic generated by coronavirus disease 2019 has caused a variety of problems that directly affect learning. Universities have found it necessary to begin a transition towards remote or online educational models. To do so, the only method that guarantees the continuity of classes is using information and communication technologies. The transition in the foreground points to the use of technological platforms that allow interaction and the development of classes through synchronous sessions. In this way, it has been possible to continue developing both administrative and academic activities. However, in effective education, there are factors that create an ideal environment where the generation of knowledge is possible. By moving from traditional educational models to remote models, this environment has been disrupted, significantly affecting student learning. Identifying the factors that influence academic performance has become the priority of universities. This work proposes the use of intelligent techniques that allow the identification of the factors that affect learning and allow effective decision-making that allows improving the educational model.

Effective Decision Making

Effective decision-making in a virtual environment is becoming increasingly important as more and more organizations introduce virtual teams into their global businesses. Critical thinking is a reflective practice that has been suggested to enhance the quality of group decision-making in organizations (Natale & Ricci, 2006). However, little is known about the value of critical thinking in a virtual team environment and the ways in which it can be promoted. This chapter provides a conceptual model of informed decision-making based on critical thinking. It further outlines how critical thinking can be promoted in virtual teams through an active shift towards a dialogic learning culture, constituted by collaborative communication behaviors, authentic leadership, and the use of social Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).

Object Of Study

The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the learning processes, have radically transformed the content approach in educational programs, as well as a change of role in the actors; Students become more self-managing and teachers become guides or advisors in the generation of knowledge and skills. The objective of the work is to know in depth the representations of teachers on educational modalities supported by ICTs, what are the possible advantages and disadvantages, as well as some of their reflections on their implementation in the CUNorte. The approach to the object of study is carried out through a qualitative investigation of descriptive type, in which four units of analysis based on the theory of social representations are considered. The paper rescues the experience of how the role of the actors in the performance of their academic activities has been transformed with the implementation of educational modalities based on ICT.

Do So

In this Viewpoint we wish to stimulate debate concerning the impact on citizens of the move to deliver more and more public services online (e-government) in urban and rural areas. It is now widely accepted that we are moving more and more online as society. However, there has been a lack of discussion about the implications of the government’s strategy to move services online especially for those most disadvantaged. The increasing focus and use of Information and Communication Technologies is changing the ways we can access public services, goods and services and health information. There is an increasing separation between those who have the skills, knowledge and economic resources to do so with those who do not – how we ensure full citizenship for all remains unanswered if not too often unconsidered.

Historical Developments

With the rapid development of information and communication technologies at the beginning of the 21st century terms like ‘Cloud Learning,' ‘Mobile Learning,' ‘e-Learning,' and ‘MOOCS' have been added to the long list of ‘disruptive' technologies expected to revolutionize education forever. But while it is easy to see how ICT's have put unimaginable amounts of information at the fingertips of students, can we say that this is truly revolutionizing education? Are higher education institutions adjusting their pedagogic practices to make full use of these technologies? In fact, are they using them at all? In this chapter we take a closer look at the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in higher education and report findings from a study asking how these technologies are being used in academic activities. We set up the framework for the discussion by reviewing some of the most important historical developments in educational technology to then move on to present the study's results. The chapter closes by contrasting these results with past predictions about the disruptive potential of ICTs and finally reflecting on the steps that will have to be taken in order to make the most out of these technologies.

Citizen Observatories are the technological platforms where a diverse range of tools are developed, such as web portals, smartphone apps, electronic devices, that allow the development of citizen science projects, particularly those with the principal objective of large scale participation of the people, covering large geographical areas and long periods of time. These new observatories integrate the latest Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to connect the citizens digitally, improve their observational capabilities and provide information flows. The concept of Citizen Observatories offers great possibilities as an educational experience, precisely due to the opportunities offered by the participation of the people, with different levels and roles and therefore, it is assumed in terms of active collaboration of the citizens, in shared processes of knowledge creation. This is especially clear when we pay attention to the complexity of the challenges education must face today, within the framework of a society of knowledge like ours.

Audio Information

In the context of Informatization of society, much attention is paid to the use of information and communication technologies in the educational process. The younger generation of the information society are people of dynamic information on the screen. Information on the screen of a monitor, projector or TV is perceived by them much better than printed, book information. The use of information technologies in the educational process makes it possible to improve the quality of classes, to get interested in the problem, as well as to visualize the material, visually presenting phenomena that can not be demonstrated otherwise. Modern technical and software tools allow you to create and use educational models of objects and processes that are as close to reality as possible. The combination of both graphic and audio information provides an impact on the two most important sensory organs-vision and hearing, which significantly increases the information content of the educational process and the effectiveness of its perception. The computer models presented in the article can be used in the educational process of the University for elective courses and electives of physical and technical orientation.

The University

The education sector is undergoing significant challenges in the process of transforming learning models in order to face the new requirements of our hyper-connected society. Teaching students how to adequately interact as active and committed citizens in our knowmadic global society is the most challenging task facing educators nowadays. Moreover, the university must consider a student’s knowledge of digital technologies to be able to design new educational models that respond to their current needs. The aim of our research is to assess that knowledge and the use of digital technologies among college students and the relationship this has with their prior academic experience. Data collection included a validated ad-hoc questionnaire divided into 16 categories applied to 757 students of both sexes between 20 and 57 years of age. The results show that, irrespective of gender and age, those students who have used Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in their secondary education have a better knowledge of how to use them to their advantage throughout their university learning process. In conclusion, students need to undergo a training in digital skills before entering university, so as to equip them with a higher level of digital competence.

Current transition processes have closely related with huge numbers of social spheres. The most significant transformations took place in the digital technology sphere. These trends have radically changed most spheres of life primarily including spread of information and communication technologies, civil services, diplomatic negotiations and promotion of state interests through "soft power". Importance of technologies as an element ensuring the sovereignty of states has increased due to involving information and communication technologies in daily people’s life and state management processes. The land, maritime, information and technological borders of sovereign states are actually blurred. The most advanced tech actors have opportunity to impose not only their own economic policy, making other countries dependent on high-tech products and its individual components, but also the information agenda. Nowadays social networks and technological platforms have almost gained the upper hand in competition with traditional mass media, both in terms of the speed of news distribution and audience coverage. This article is dedicated to the transformation processes in the digital, communication and technological spheres and potential impact of mentioned processes on the states sovereignty, Also the article reviews digital diplomacy as an element of "soft power" in promoting state interests abroad.
