Educational platforms are tools that facilitate the teaching learning process. The LMS platforms: Edmodo, Schollogy and Moodle complement this process between students and professors. The use of these platforms was analyzed at the Technological Institute of Oaxaca, with the participation of students from the following careers: Electronic Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Civil Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Industrial Engineer, Chemical Engineer, Business Management Engineer, Computer Systems Engineer, Bachelor of Administration and professors; all of them agree with that the most used platform is Moodle. One of the main objective is identify and classify the LMS used by students of the semesters: second, fourth, sixth, eighth and tenth, as well as teachers during the period January-June 2019. In addition, it was analyzed the use of LMS and the percentage of students and professors who use the platform as a teaching-learning strategy is determined. For the analysis of the use of LMS in the Technological Institute of Oaxaca, the methodology that was considered consists in the next phases: problem statement, definition of objective, elaboration of the theoretical framework, elaboration and analysis of surveys, process design and conclusions.

AbstractThe article offers analyses of the phenomenon of copying (plagiarism) in higher education. The analyses were based on a quantitative survey using questionnaires, conducted in 2019 at one of the Polish universities. Plagiarism is discussed here both as an element of the learning process and a subject of public practices. The article presents students’ definitions of plagiarism, their strategies for unclear or difficult situations, their experiences with plagiarism and their opinions on how serious and widespread this phenomenon is. Focusing on the non-plagiarism norm, that is the rule that students are not allowed to plagiarize, and in order to redefine it we have determined two strategies adopted by students. The first is withdrawing in fear of making a mistake (omitting the norm), which means not using referencing in unclear situations, e.g. when the data about the source of information are absent. The second is reducing the scope of the norm applicability (limiting the norm), characterized by the fact that there are areas where the non-plagiarism norm must be observed more closely and those where it is not so important, e.g. respondents classify works as credit-level and diploma-level texts, as in the credit-level work they “can” sometimes plagiarize since the detection rate is poor and consequences are not severe. The presented results are particularly significant for interpreting plagiarism in an international context (no uniform definition of plagiarism) and for policies aimed at limiting the scale of the phenomenon (plagiarism detection systems1).

PurposeThe present work reviews the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on architecture education (AE), with the aim of discussing the interaction and integration of technology-based models.Design/methodology/approachDifferent research methods were used to achieve the research purposes including an online survey, semistructured interviews, observations and reviewing recent literature. The study proposes a theoretical framework to investigate blended learning (BL) approaches in AE, based on the blended teaching–learning continuum, the growth of online delivery mode and technology integration and the gradual responsibility adopted for the current Covid-19 pandemic.FindingsThe study proposes a vision to reimagine post-Covid-19 education and the required BL strategy to provide a theoretical framework that integrates the instructional models required to be investigated by instructors.Research limitations/implicationsThe research findings are based on a theoretical approach not tested practically. A further detailed investigation is required. Thus, the road to reimagining the post-Covid-19 AE is still evolving.Social implicationsAs faculty members, one should take steps toward preparing BL strategies. These strategies present other alternatives to continue teaching and learning while keeping safe in any other emergency in education. In this work, an overview of BL approaches, continuum and related technological and instructional models has been shaped to propose a new vision to post-Covid-19 AE.Originality/valueThis paper responds directly to the initiated call on the pandemic's effect on traditional education by taking a pedagogical perspective. The study presents a holistic BL strategy and proposes a new theoretical and instructional model to design a suitable and balanced BL environment in AE.

Education today needs to be responsive to the diverse needs of our learners in order to make them globally competent. Innovative initiatives need to be brought into the present education system in order to meet the growing demands of our society. Our education system does not function in isolation with our society and so, along with academic aspects, the social aspects of learning too, have to be focussed on. This is possible with quality teaching strategies being introduced in our teaching learning process and one such strategy promoting the same is Cooperative Learning. Cooperative learning involves students working together in small groups to accomplish shared goals. It is widely recognized as a teaching strategy that promotes socialization and learning among students from kindergarten through college and across different subjects and science is no exception. Science enables pupils to be involved in group work where they have the opportunity to share ideas and cooperate with each other in collaborative practical activity. What is needed today is a new wave of educated students ready for modern scientific research, teaching and technological development. With students of diverse abilities and differing rates of learning in our classrooms, it is, therefore, essential for the teacher to have the knowledge of how students learn science and how best to teach. The present study was taken up in this context to find out the effectiveness of cooperative learning strategy in science teaching.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the publications that focus on distance education in nursing in Brazil from 2010 to 2016. Method: Integrative review of the literature with data collection in June 2016 in the following databases: LILACS, MEDLINE via PUBMED, CINAHL and SCOPUS. For the data analysis and interpretation, the thematic categorization was chosen. Results: We selected 18 articles for discussion, whose textual analysis permitted the construction of three thematic categories: use of virtual technologies for distance education in nursing; construction of virtual learning environments with the aid of virtual technologies for distance education in nursing; and evaluation of the learning process through virtual technologies for distance education of nurses. Conclusion: Distance Education stands out as an effective teaching-learning strategy in this type of education in Brazilian nursing, focused mainly on the improvement and complement of traditional teaching.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in the teaching-learning strategy of metal forming processes. To this end, students are proposed to use the commercial package DEFORM-3D® for the development of their bachelor and master theses within the research line on incremental sheet forming processes. The student acquires skills and competencies on numerical simulation and design of real metal forming processes valuable for their future professional practice, while strengthening the foundations of these manufacturing technologies. This proposal is consistent with the active teaching methodologies included in the guidelines of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).

This paper gives an introduction to "Interculture TV", an educational videocast project initiated by the Department of "Intercultural Studies and Business Communications" at the Friedrich Schiller University, Jena. The project provides open access to audio-visual teaching/learning materials produced by intercultural student work groups and offers opportunities for cooperation. Starting from a definition of the term "educast", the article analyses the videocast episodes on Interculture TV and discusses their potential for inter-cultural instruction and learning.
