ABSTRACTThe image is a symbolic element that certainly fills our environment in all areas, especially in areas such as entertainment, advertising, media, etc. Its potential is infinite in each of the fields from which you study this because of their configuration, generating a visual language of communication from which the man intaractúa each other and with their context. Thus, the image as communicative product has been the guardian and transmitter of knowledge since time immemorial, as Egyptian hieroglyphics, to give a clear example. From the educational field, the image has been involved in various materials and educational resources such as textbooks, guides, charts, manuals, etc., however, their role has been to support resources for learning and not to pedagogical mediation instrument in the whole process of teaching and learning. Therefore, in the present an approach reivindicador exposed to potentiate the didactic nature of the image. It is possible to approach the study of the teaching of the image with this approach, thanks to new environments learned-zaje brought about by digital technologies, in which the graphical interfaces (built and configured by language-jes visual), are precisely the didactic element of pedagogical mediation between actors: student-teachers (users), content and learning technologies (GUIs - object), educational institutions and context (environment), teaching-learning process (pedagogical action). Thus, from the analysis of up-tes, educational communication, visual configuration, design and significance of teaching image are elements of pedagogical mediation in the teaching-learning mediated by digital technologies, which act as a vehicle or means digital teaching resources.RESUMENLa imagen es un elemento simbólico que indudablemente inunda nuestro entorno en todos los ámbitos, sobretodo en áreas como el entretenimiento, la publicidad, los medios de comunicación, etc. Su potencial es infinito en cada uno de los campos desde el que se estudie, esto debido a su configuración, que genera un lenguaje de comunicación visual a partir del cual el hombre intaractúa entre sí y con su contexto. Así, la imagen como producto comunicativo ha sido la guardiana y transmisora del conocimiento desde tiempos inmemoriales, como los jeroglifícos egipcios, por poner un claro ejemplo. Desde el campo educativo, la imagen ha estado inmersa en diversos materiales y recursos didácticos como libros de texto, guías, esquemas, manuales, etc., sin embargo, su papel ha sido el de apoyo en los recursos para el aprendizaje y no el de instrumento de mediación pedagógica en todo el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje.  Por tal motivo, en el presente, se expone un planteamiento reivindicador para potencializar el cáracter didáctico de la imagen. Es posible abordar los estudios de la didáctica de la imagen con este enfoque, gracias a los nuevos entornos de aprendizaje propiciados por las tecnologías digitales, en las que las interfaces gráficas (construidas y configuradas por lenguajes visuales), constituyen precisamente el elemento didáctico de mediación pedagógica entre los actores: alumnos-profesores (usuarios), contenidos y tecnologías para el aprendizaje (interfaces gráficas - objeto), instituciones educativas y contexto (entorno), proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje (acción pedagógica). Así, a partir del análisis de los componentes, la comunicación educativa, configuración visual, diseño y significación de la imagen didáctica son elementos de mediación pedagógica en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje mediados por tecnologías digitales, en las que actúan como vehículo o medio los recursos didácticos digitales. Contacto principal: [email protected]

Innovation in learning technologies and services is driven by demands from Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) in order to meet their students’ needs and make knowledge delivery easier. The technology could play a pivotal role in extending the possibilities for teaching, learning, and research in educational institutions. M-learning emerged from this innovation as a result of an unprecedented explosion in the number of mobile devices due to availability and affordability of mobile phones, smartphones and tablets among students. Competition in the mobile device industry is also encouraging developers to be innovative, constantly striving to introduce new features. Consequently, newer sources of risks are being introduced in the mobile computing paradigm at manufacturing level. Similarly, many m-learning promoters and developers focus on developing and delivering learning content and infrastructure for m-learning system without adequate consideration for security of stakeholders’ data, whereas the use of these mobile technologies for learning poses a serious threat to confidentiality, integrity and privacy of those involved in teaching and learning, yet traditional security threats are also evolving. Against this backdrop, the stakeholders in education sector (i.e. education providers, educators, m-learning promoters and developers) should begin to consider the security implications of these devices in modern teaching and learning environments. The purpose of this paper is to identify the m-learning security issues that stakeholders may face, how they are being affected by the security threats, who among is stakeholders are affected or most affected by security issues in m-learning using three Nigeria universities as case studies and what are the responsibilities of the stakeholders in ensuring risk free m-learning.

Curriculum administration is the whole process of planned and intentional and deliberate activities as well as ongoing guidance to the teaching and learning situation in order to help the achievement of educational goals effectively and efficiently.In this connection, at any school level the principal task of the school is to ensure that there are good teaching programs for students. Because basically the management or management of education focuses on all its efforts on teaching and learning practices (PBM). This seems clear that in essence all efforts and activities carried out in schools or educational institutions are always directed at the success of PBM.

Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) can be slow in responding to technological innovation. Streaming technology offers a competitive advantage to a HEI if appropriately adopted and integrated with the marketing strategy compared to the Push-Pull strategy: when all available technological innovation is used to push educational options to the market and the potential people pull from the market. This chapter briefly describes the concepts of e-learning and media streaming, and their relationship to HEIs. The intangible business benefits of using media streaming to enhance teaching and learning in HEIs are explored through a literature review and small sample survey. The case study of a UK university is used to represent a HEI; e-learning technology is already in use within the university, considering the integration of media streaming technology into new or existing learning technologies. The hardware and software requirements are briefly examined, and possible business concerns and risks are identified with recommendations.

The future of higher education is intrinsically linked with developments on new technologies and computing capacities of the new intelligent machines. In this field, advances in artificial intelligence open to new possibilities and challenges for teaching and learning in higher education with the potential to fundamentally change governance and the internal architecture of institutions of higher education. The role of technology in higher learning is to enhance human thinking and to augment the educational process, not to reduce it to a set of procedures for content delivery, control, and assessment. With the rise of AI solutions, it is increasingly important for educational institutions to stay alert and see if the power of control over hidden algorithms that run them is not monopolized by tech-lords. This chapter will cover all the positive and negative aspects of AI technologies on teaching, learning, and research in higher education.

Our chapter aims to explore the challenges, advances, and perspectives of language-education technology in Brazil. Language-education is an extremely important topic for Brazil because many indigenous languages are nearing extinction due to the legacies of colonization and the fact that Portuguese, the national language of Brazil, is the only official language and thus the single most utilitarian method of communication. This issue is further complicated by Brazil's increasingly globalized economy, which, for many individuals, demands the acquisition of a foreign language in order to compete. The English language has been introduced into the curriculum of the vast majority Brazilian public schools over the course of the past few decades. Additionally, several private, for-profit English learning enterprises now have widespread services throughout the country. But rates of English (and even Portuguese) fluency still vary greatly among the population. This raises a number of critical questions that will be discussed in this work. Why is learning a new language such a challenge? Which methodologies can be utilized to increase language acquisition and build fluency? What are the new technologies that are used in teaching a second language in Brazilian schools, and how is their impact being measured? Are Brazilian teachers prepared to integrate new technologies and innovative methods of teaching and learning? Our methodology involves bibliographical research including a literature review, a case-study, and participatory research through semi-structured interviews. Our results have shown that several technologies are being implemented in Brazil, and that as a theoretical framework, educational communication has been recognized as a powerful tool to incorporate such technologies in language education. Overall, the use of learning technologies is common and growing among students, while it is increasing at a more institutional pace among teachers.

The Y generation is understood as that born under the influence of the digital technologies. Now it’s represented by the young university students that created such a tight bond with the internet and its tools that uses them easily and frequently. Many works say that this generation of immediate young people accustomed to multitasking has developed a new kind of neuroplasticity entirely different of their antecessors and therefore possess peculiar habits and mechanisms of learning that should be respected and considered in the dynamics of teaching and learning, creating a pressure in the educational institutions to adequate in this reality. However, there are a few studies evaluating the real existence of these characteristics. Thus, we preset the conclusions of this descriptive qualitative project fulfilled with medicine students at Faculdade de Medicina de São José Rio Preto that aim to know how these students use digital technologies and the impact of their habits and behaviors regarding the involvement with technologies in their studies. The conclusion was that technologies are an important influence on student’s lifes, however continues to be one among several others, which allows the teachers to keep a fundamental role in the formation of these digital natives, especially helping and guiding them in the correct and full use of new technologies developed for learning.

Digital technologies are becoming seamlessly incorporated in all we do, no less in teaching and learning. As technological developments and interdependent social change steer us deeper into a postdigital existence, higher education institutions are observed increasing the availability of learning technologies and related academic development initiatives. Alongside these developments, models of teaching as transmission are popularly criticized and set in contrast to models of teaching as participation, which are commended and avowed as more suited for the present day digital university. This paper presents the research findings of a qualitative study, which was specifically taken up in response to observed developments. The findings derive from phenomenographic analysis mapping variation in the accounts of 27 academics describing their experiences using digital technologies for teaching. These results represent a wide-ranging description confirming previous research findings and add new detail. They reaffirm teaching orientations of transmission and participation as important and significant facets of teaching moreover existing claims based on logical argumentation. These research results potentially serve professional development constructively supporting academics seeking to incorporate contemporary digital technologies in their teaching practices.
