La revisión bibliográfica evidencia el desfase entre las expectativas del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior y los logros alcanzados, tanto en la competencia comunicativa como digital, sobre todo por la ausencia de una formación previa de tipo transversal, tanto en los centros educativos como en línea. Se parte de cuarenta y seis narrativas autobiográficas de los estudiantes que cursaron el programa, utilizando un proceso de análisis inductivo que generó dos metacategorías: “valoración del desarrollo del programa” y logros alcanzados en el mismo”. Para ello se utilizó la “Teoría fundamentada” y el software informática NVivo-12Plus. Los resultados muestran que el programa ha generado interacción entre los estudiantes participantes, calificando la experiencia de interesante por lo aprendido y la interacción en el desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa y digital. Del mismo modo, ponen de manifiesto la transversalidad de las actividades propuestas, especialmente: “creación y mantenimiento de un blog” Y “realización de un video sobre privacidad en la red”, que incidieron, respectivamente en 7 y 6 de las unidades de competencia propuestas, así como la flexibilidad del curso, superando los problemas de espacio y tiempo. Los estudiantes valoran el curso como “experiencia positiva”, aludiendo a que los aspectos afectivos han potenciado su orientación al aprendizaje y a la interacción. Los estudiantes reconocen carencias iniciales en su formación en ambas competencias que el curso en línea les ha permitido superar, así como la utilidad didáctica del mismo para su futuro profesional. The literature review evidenced a lack of congruence between the expectations of the European Space for Higher Education and the achievements reached. This was as much the case for communicative competence as it was for digital competence and was mostly due to the lack of prior teaching of transversal skills, both in educational centres and online. A process of inductive analysis based on forty six autobiographical narratives of students enrolled on the program, produced two meta-categories: “evaluation of program development” and “achievements of the program”. To achieve these outcomes “grounded theory” and the information software NVivo- 12Plus were used. Results suggest that the program led to an interaction between participating students. Participation in the program is therefore of interest due to the learnings provided and the interaction that is evident in the development of the communicative and digital competence. In the same way, outcomes show the transversality of the proposed activities, especially: “creation and maintenance of a blog!” and “development of a video about privacy online”, which influenced the proposed competence units in 7 and 6, respectively (table 1). Further influences were found on course flexibility and overcoming time and space problems. Students rated the course as a “positive experience”, alluding to affective aspects which had enhanced their inclination towards learning and interaction. The students recognised initial weaknesses in the training of both competences made available to them through the online course. Further, they noted the didactic utility of the program with regards to their professional future.

: Education authorities in Norway endorse online courses for in‑service teachers to raise education standards and to promote digital competence. Naturally, these offerings present teachers with opportunities to integrate new theoretical perspectives and their professional experience in an online learning community. The inquiry into one's professional practice, enhanced by critical reflection in a group of fellow professionals, is considered essential for a lifelong learning practitioner, however, the emerging examples of instructional design tend to prioritise content delivery rather than professional discourse. In this paper, we demonstrate how the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework could be adopted to transform learning design, which prioritises the delivery of individual assignments, into a more collaborative learning experience. Using the CoI instructional design principles and the associated questionnaire, we have investigated student perceptions of learning via an online course and formulated recommendations about how the course design can be refined to promote learning in the community. Despite the modest evidence, this investigation can serve as an example of how a concrete learning design can be improved based on this validated e‑learning model.

Digital, virtual and E-learning elements have increasingly become a part in higher education and, most recently, the high potential of digitalization for processes of strategic internationalization of higher education institutions is coming into focus. The collaborative project of three German universities, XYZ, is working on strategies for the internationalization and virtualization of engineering education. While these topics used to be different key areas of the project, a combination of both distinguished itself as a potential new working field. This paper introduces two pilot concepts that were implemented and evaluated at the universities Y and Z which both aim at the complementation of incoming students’ experiences in Germany by digital means. At Y, a transnational online class explores means of preparing degree-mobile engineering students from all over the world for their master’s studies in Germany. At Z, an online course was designed to accompany a summer school research exchange for US-American engineering students in order to prolong their short-term mobility by digital elements. These pilot projects were well-accepted by students and faculty at both universities and their evaluations between 2014 and 2017 have revealed valuable results for further optimization. This paper presents the results and discusses future potential.

<p>El vertiginoso desarrollo tecnológico del mundo actual brinda a las universidades presenciales la posibilidad de ofrecer nuevas alternativas formativas como la enseñanza a través de Internet o eLearning, que permite utilizar las potencialidades de la red en el proceso de instrucción y superar las barreras espacio-temporales asociadas a la educación tradicional. La experiencia acumulada en el desarrollo de asignaturas y cursos virtuales en el seno del área de Derecho financiero y tributario de la UCLM nos permite constatar que gran parte de la clave del éxito de los modelos de aprendizaje en entornos eLearning reside en la metodología docente empleada para garantizar un proceso de aprendizaje significativo en el alumno, así como en la correcta evaluación del mismo. En efecto, la especificidad de la enseñanza online se traduce, sobre todo, en la necesidad de desarrollar recursos, materiales, herramientas e instrumentos de formación, seguimiento y comunicación adecuados al medio utilizado, así como una correcta planificación de las actividades a realizar y altas dosis de coordinación y flexibilidad; todo ello, con la finalidad de proporcionar la mejor formación a los alumnos. Asimismo, debe concebirse la evaluación como formativa e integral, basada en un conjunto variado de actividades que el uso de herramientas síncronas y asíncronas de comunicación permite desarrollar y asumir el proceso de evaluación continua, donde el estudiante participa de su propio modelo de enseñanza-aprendizaje.</p><p> </p>

Digital Competencies

From the beginning of the 21st century, digital competencies are perceived as a "requirement and right," as a "life/basic skill". The purpose of this article is to justify the creation of a blitz-survey, designed and conducted to determine the level of digital competence of students. The completed research will try to answer the question of how training in Faculty of Engineering and Technology develops the digital competence of students - future engineers, which factors influence the development and attitudes to improve this type of competence. The spectrum of components in the digital competencies is defined when developing the conceptual model of the study. The research model also reflects European documents in this area, the needs, and requirements of the labour market related to the training of engineers and the new approaches and paradigms in higher education. The questions were provisionally divided into seven sections, which also have connecting links. At this stage, the study was carried out with 280 students. The end goal of the scientific research is to suggest strategies for adapting the training of the students to the European requirements and the needs of the labour market in order to improve their employment status, their adaptiveness, and their professional development.

This article reports on the use of blended learning in higher education. Blended learning has become popular in higher education in recent years. It is a move beyond traditional lecturing to incorporate face-to-face learning with e-learning, thereby creating a blend of learning experiences. The problem is that learning in higher education is complex and learning situations differ across contexts. Whilst there is face-to-face contact at some institutions, others offer distance learning or correspondence learning. In each context, the mode of learning may differ. The challenge is to cater for various learning opportunities through a series of learning interactions and to incorporate a blended approach. The aim of this study was to examine various ways of defining blended learning in different contexts. This was done through an examination of experiences of the use of blended learning in different higher education contexts. The study presents a case of blended learning in a postgraduate course. The experiences from all these cases are summarised and conclusions and recommendations are made in the context of blended learning in higher education in South Africa.

En el actual contexto social, el uso de los dispositivos móviles se ha masificado de tal manera, que su empleo como herramienta de enseñanza y de aprendizaje en entornos académicos es extremadamente útil. Por lo tanto surge el concepto de Mobile Learning (aprendizaje móvil), que ayuda a los docentes a administrar su práctica docente y a los estudiantes a facilitar su aprendizaje a través del uso apropiado de las Tecnologías de Información y las Comunicaciones TIC; de esta forma la realización de un aprendizaje por medios electrónicos (E-Learning) debe ser centralizada en una plataforma de aprendizaje virtual y conectada con un ambiente multiplataforma de dispositivos móviles con interconexión a la red de comunicaciones de la Universidad. La coexistencia de M-Learning versus E-Learning, van a permitir al docente alinearse con los estudiantes en el uso apropiado de las TIC, para producir beneficios en el aprendizaje a distancia, de tal manera que los recursos tecnológicos puedan ser aprovechados y la comunidad académica se apropie de los recursos a través de nuevas interfaces de comunicación móvil como es el propósito de la investigación realizada para la Universidad Antonio Nariño.
