Implementing an Android Tool for Visually Impaired Students of E-LearningIJERA Editor
This document describes the development of an Android application to improve accessibility for visually impaired students in e-learning. The application was created to integrate with the Moodle learning management system. It allows visually impaired students to participate in educational forums and chats via voice commands. The application has no visual interface and uses speech recognition to navigate menus and interact within the Moodle environment. The goal is to provide greater accessibility and flexibility for visually impaired students to participate in distance education programs.
This document discusses a model for training teacher education faculty to increase their digital literacy. It notes that while students are digitally literate, faculty are lagging behind, exacerbating a gap. As a result, students form "secret" social media groups for learning external to the classroom. The proposed Virtual Collaborative Model would transition faculty training from solely face-to-face to a hybrid model using social media. This would help open the "Zone of Proximal Development" and allow iterative socio-cognitive progressions to increase faculty digital pedagogical skills through implicit interactions in an online space.

1. Distance education has existed since the 19th century, originally using correspondence via mail. Technological advances like radio, television, and the internet have expanded the delivery methods for distance education over time.
2. In Brazil, distance education experiences began in 1939 and have grown significantly in recent decades to include both formal education and vocational training using various technologies.
3. Today, distance education can provide students flexibility to learn remotely using internet resources while still allowing for some classroom activities. It has grown rapidly in Brazil, with over 3.5 million students enrolled in 2011, especially in free courses.

The document compares the organization and management of information and communication technologies (ICT) between the University of Murcia in Spain and the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Both universities implement ICT through virtual classrooms, websites, and infrastructure to provide flexible, lifelong learning opportunities for students. While their approaches differ in some areas, both institutions effectively organize and manage ICT to support teaching, learning, and knowledge sharing across their communities.
This article shows the need for the University to adjust to the new times by updating the curriculum structure of higher education that should not only respond to market demands, but also provide knowledge to develop the qualification and the humanistic formation of the individual, besides showing how to achieve individual and collective happiness.
This document discusses how pre-service teacher candidates are forming "secret communities" on social media to supplement their university teacher training programs. It notes that there is a gap between the digital literacy of university faculty and teacher candidates. As a result, digitally literate teacher candidates are turning to social media communities to address deficiencies in their programs. The document calls for reconceptualizing teacher education programs to better respond to the needs of digitally native students and integrate more technologies. It also suggests further research is needed to understand how these secret communities function and if they effectively help bridge gaps in traditional training models.
The article describes a proposed model for assessing the quality of higher distance education based on the technologies of the Information and Communication. This model can be adopted by higher education institutions in order to ensure proper use of Information Technologies and Communication in teaching and learning processes, and strategic processes that support the distance education. This research will use models and success stories from other countries as a basis for generating a preliminary model. Furthermore, this research contains initial reports and results as to justify the contribution of it.
Over the past 20 years, higher education has undergone major transformations, brought about by: (i) increasing internationalisation and student mobility; (ii) an ever-growing demand for quality higher education and lifelong learning; (iii) changing student demographics; (iv) the rise of online and blended learning, (v) cross-border higher education and (vi) recognition and quality assurance of qualifications in a digital world without borders. At the same time, access to the Internet and broadband service has increased. According to the International Telecommunications Union, 43 per cent of the world’s population is now online, with some form of regular access to the Internet, and the number of Internet users globally has reached 3.2 billion, of whom 2 billion are from developing countries (ITU, 2015). The huge growth in mobile connectivity, particularly in the developing world, has also brought online content and interaction to a global audience.
Since 2012, known as “The Year of the MOOC,” massive open online courses (MOOCs) have expanded worldwide, shaking up the higher education landscape and potentially disrupting the model of brick-and-mortar universities. Whilst higher education institutions have long been engaged in the delivery of online content (via, for example open educational resources and virtual learning environments), the rapid advent of MOOCs is regarded by some experts as an education revolution — according to Class Central (Shah, 2015a), the total number of MOOCs reached 4,200 in 2015. However, most of the current MOOCs are delivered by top universities in the Global North, which many observers consider a one-way transfer of knowledge from the developed countries to the developing world.
The present UNESCO–COL Guide on MOOCs is designed to raise general awareness amongst policy-makers in developing countries as to how MOOCs might address their concerns and priorities, particularly in terms of access to affordable quality higher education and preparation of secondary school leavers for academic as well as vocational education and training. With very few exceptions, many of the reports on MOOCs already published do not refer to the interests and experiences of developing countries, although we are witnessing important initiatives in more and more countries around the world.

Challenges on the teaching of management through blended educationmirelesrafael8490
This document summarizes an article about the challenges of teaching management through blended education from the perspective of university professors. The article conducted interviews with seven professors experienced in traditional, distance, and blended learning modalities. The findings suggest that universities adopting blended education seek more trained teachers proficient in digital platforms and new technologies. The findings also show that alternative, less complex, and cheaper platforms can be used to interact with students and encourage active participation in blended environments. Finally, blended environments require motivated, autonomous, disciplined, and committed learners.
Totally online high school for people at educational riskFUVIA President
The document describes an online high school program called the Iberoamerican Virtual Foundation that aims to provide education to vulnerable students who did not complete secondary school. It uses an open source online platform to deliver all course content and instruction completely virtually. Currently serving over 1,000 students aged 16-65 across 42 communities, the program aims to expand across Ecuador and other countries to address high dropout rates. Key aspects include using online learning communities and modules to engage students in intensive monthly courses. The program empowers students by providing a path to education, developing skills like computer literacy, and relating lessons to local contexts through community-focused projects.
1. The document discusses innovations and trends in higher education in Europe, including increased blended learning combining online and in-person education, growth in continuing education and open education through MOOCs and OERs, and more diversified educational pathways to accommodate various student needs.
2. It proposes increased collaboration between European universities on short learning programs, including recognition of credits between institutions and development of joint programs, to provide flexible options for lifelong learning.
3. A network of experts across European universities aims to accelerate adoption of new teaching and learning methods through staff training, pilot programs, and institutional innovation planning.
The document discusses curriculum implementation and various socio-cultural factors that influence it, including traditions, laws/policies, and practices in other countries. It covers topics like traditional vs modern teaching strategies, the influence of culture on education, curriculum reforms in countries like the Philippines and Albania, and the inquiry-based approach used in countries like Finland and the US. It also discusses implications of organizational context for change, and the importance of considering socio-cultural diversity in curriculum and pedagogical approaches.
Advancement In Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) To Revolutionize Disruptiv...Jody Sullivan
This document summarizes research on students' awareness and perceptions of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in Pakistan. Interviews were conducted with 24 students, 12 who had taken MOOC courses and 12 who had not. The findings showed that students with no MOOC experience had minimal awareness of such programs and their potential benefits, which included knowledge gain, skills development, professional development, learning opportunities, employability, and usefulness for their jobs. Experts on distance education were also interviewed using the Delphi method. The research uncovered that students' inclination towards MOOCs in Pakistan is still in the early stages.
Instructional Technology Trends in Education discusses emerging trends in educational technology including increased use of mobile devices, open-source content competing with textbooks, and educators connecting through social media. It also examines the growing interest in online learning communities for teachers and the role of virtual learning environments and systems in facilitating distance and on-campus learning. Specific examples from Malaysia are provided on the Frog Virtual Learning Environment being implemented nationwide to improve education.

The Up2U project aims to close the gap between secondary and higher education in Europe by developing an innovative ecosystem ("Up to University" or Up2U) that facilitates the co-design and reuse of digital educational content and tools. Up2U will adapt existing higher education technologies for secondary school use to better prepare students for university. The project involves pilots in 7 European countries to test the ecosystem. It focuses on integrating formal and informal learning and addressing skills like critical thinking that help students adapt to higher education.
Kenneth Edwards discusses the expectations placed on universities in the knowledge society and how universities are adapting to meet these expectations. He outlines four main conclusions from a study conducted by the Association of European Universities (AEU). First, there is a great deal of experimentation with new technologies but efforts are often underfunded and face hostility from professors and staff. Second, developing high quality online content is very expensive. Third, universities must be proactive to meet rising student expectations and potential competition. Fourth, education networks should be integrated with other university systems like administration. Edwards also stresses the importance of preparing students for changing careers and teaching them lifelong learning skills.

The disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have affected many aspects
of teacher training programs, which are crucial for informing research in higher
education, including reflective peer observation of teaching (POT). The higher education community has adapted to this new normal and begun using phygital (blended
physical and digital) spaces effectively. This requires practitioners to adapt new methodologies and hybrid approaches, which pave the way for a new future of learning in
a new phygital environment. This chapter describes the implementation of a phygital
community of inquiry (CoI) by preservice teachers in an undergraduate early-years
education program in the United Arab Emirates. This chapter presents the authors’
observations of preservice teachers’ practices during their internship to describe them
against the experience of higher education in the United Arab Emirates. Incorporating
the principles of POT and CoI requires strong institutional support if creative technologies are adopted to react to the current state of practices. Specifically, the POT
principles involved in CoI should expand the phygital approach to improve the reflective practices of preservice teachers. Moreover, models relevant to specific programs
should provide adequate instructional support, materials, and training for preservice
teachers to allow their optimal investment of POT in phygital spaces.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

EXPERIENCES OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN VIRTUALITY IN THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
CONTEXT IN COLOMBIA
Campo Elías Flórez Pabón*
Jenny Patricia Acevedo-Rincón**
INTRODUCTION
Colombian basic, middle and higher education is governed by the Colombian Ministry of
National Education (MEN1
). Higher Education Institutions are entities that have official recognition to
be providers of the public service of higher education in the Colombian territory, whose legal nature is
characterized by being of a public or private character. The former have general guardianship control
as a public establishment and the latter enjoy constitutional and legal prerogatives that, even from the
same jurisprudence, have had significant development in terms of scope, to the point of pointing out that
these are organizations that belong to none of the branches of public power or private universities (2020).
The current health crisis reveals the digital gap that was immersed in the Colombian educational
system. According to the Ministry of Science and Technology -MINTIC2
, the digital gap is recognized
as the socioeconomic difference between those communities that have access to ICTs and those that do
not, in addition to the differences between groups according to their ability to use ICTs effectively, due
to the different levels of literacy and technological capacity (MINTIC, 2019).
Furthermore, this context implies that the digital gap is not closed in Colombia, as evidenced by the
report on the digital gap monitoring project presented by MINTIC, but that until now the data on the digital
divide is being configured to take action, idea that would be developed in this annuity. Despite this reality,
the decision made worldwide was to continue with online classes regardless of the socioeconomic reality
of the inhabitants in any region, and Colombia was no exception. Next, two experiences are described,
developed in Colombian public and private universities, which are constituted in virtual training actions
that incorporate methodological innovations in the development of classrooms in the human and exact
sciences. From this reality, the experiences of the University of Pamplona and the University of the North
in public and private virtuality are presented, respectively.
EXPERIENCES OF TEACHING OF HUMANITIES IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR.
The University of Pamplona was founded by the presbyter José Rafael Faría Bermúdez, according
to the biographical sketch of Flórez-Pabón (2019, P. 19), without having a preponderant religious link

EXPERIENCES OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN VIRTUALITY IN THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CONTEXT IN COLOMBIA
other than the occupation that its founder had. Entrepreneurship that makes it the first public university
in the state since the late sixties. In its current historical time, in the midst of the crisis caused by the
coronavirus pandemic, it can be said that it has students from all over the country because of their areas
of influence of the Distance Education Centers (CREAD), as well as a population of all social strata for its
affordable prices due to the place where it is located, which makes the lifestyle inexpensive. This profile
outlines the university context of the public institution, an idea that allows us to focus on the experience
of teachers at a public university in Colombia amid the pandemic.
The teachers of public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Colombia, before the process
imposed by the national government, had thought, somehow, that virtual education is a reality that would
have to come in the mediate future, and not immediately as it is in the case of the health crisis. It was
always considered that there would be time to prepare for this work, although this was not the case. It
is fondly remembered those days that will no longer return for any teacher. Those timid steps that were
taken years ago today are true marathon competitions in favor of a virtual education, without, at the end
of the goal, we think that there is a golden medal rather than having experience in a virtual pedagogical
process that took another speed to assume.
Specifically, in the case of teachers at the University of Pamplona,
a remote exercise was proposed,
since what is done today is far from what is understood by virtual education, (following the guidelines of
the Colombian MEN), in the good sense of the word, because, with this experience, already a vision of
this reality in a sense that is not adequate is given. The University assumed this reality from one week to
the next, without too much preparation or instructions. The first thing that appeared was a format where it
was asked to write down the week the course was going, to the courses managed by the teachers, to see if
it coincided with the syllabus or programmatic contents exposed in a face-to-face phase of the semester.
In addition, in a column of the format was asked to list virtual teaching strategies, without properly
discriminating the subject and nature of the course. To this, we must add that the teacher’s own resources
were taken up, which, later, shone in virtues as free license tools for teaching, without reflecting any
logistical difficulties on the part of the teacher, namely equipment, connectivity, software, preparation, etc.
Likewise, it must be said that, among public universities, the University of Pamplona has
experience in some virtual subjects, supported by its own tools such as Academusoft 4.0 software
for both educational management and online education. The problem is that this institutional Moodle
tool was suggested after teachers had already developed their strategies in the human sciences in the
teaching of philosophy. In this way, some opted for Google Classroom, under the modality of a personal
account and not Google for Education, others for Microsoft Teams, among other possibilities that could
be known as WhatsApp or email.
However, Google Classroom, in its personal account version, does not directly integrate interactivity
and meetings for free in the accounts but are a series of institutional G-suites that must be processed by the
institution, both in the academic order As in the economic licenses with Google company, and with what
there was began this work. To this we can add the support for free licenses from the Avaya platform for
education, which together with the Microsoft Teams are also a valid tool for virtual education managed
by the institution. On the other hand, with the observation that the Avaya manuals are not clear because
they are in English this caused some teachers to become discouraged in the application of these subsidies
to virtual public education. Thus, it becomes a necessary duty to take note of all these shortcomings for
the exercise of virtual education in the public university in the mediate and immediate future.
EXPERIENCES OF TEACHING OF THE GEOMETRY IN THE PRIVATE CONTEXT.
The Universidad del Norte has been working since 1966 in the city of Barranquilla. It is currently
located at kilometer 5 of the highway to Puerto Colombia (Atlántico-Colombia), is a private higher
education institution subject to inspection and surveillance by Law 1740 of 2014 and Law 30 of 1992
of the MEN (UNINORTE, 2020). It has High-Quality institutional accreditation and has recently been
considered one of the ten best universities in Colombia for its comprehensiveness and academic excellence.

Campo Elías Flórez Pabón e Jenny Patricia Acevedo-Rincón
As a result of the pandemic, from the rectory of the Universidad del Norte (Colombia), its staff
(teaching and administrative) were asked to do work at home from March 17, 2020 to start in the remote
mode from March 30, 2020. Two weeks in which the professors of the Universidad del Norte had the
opportunity to rethink the syllabus corresponding to each subject, now with the university’s own digital
alternatives and many others that were found along the way.
In this sense, the university has the Blackboard platform that offers different alternatives for
content publication, communication between students and professors (discussion forums, messages or
external mail), consultation tools in the virtual library, search for help and grades, and the Blackboard
Collaborate Ultra interface, where virtual meetings are scheduled and developed. The latter has been of
great advantage when making the synchronous connection with students because it allows the viewing
of documents, screen sharing with students for interaction during class. In addition, these classes are
recorded, downloaded and stored in the University drive, which has a greater storage capacity, in order
to, through the link, allow access to students who failed to do so synchronously to class.
Therefore, one of the challenges of virtuality presupposes the paradigm shift in the teaching and
learning of mathematics, since it is the first thing that is thought in the face of ancient practices that
involve board and marker and the replication of formulas. Thus, the Geometry course was designed
so that Graphic Design students could make compressions on the classic Euclidean Geometry and its
development through the transition between 2D and 3D. Hence, in accordance with the above, the new
virtual environment implied the development of other ways to involve the student in their learning. For
this, constructions were used with a dynamic geometry software called GeoGebra that has privileged
the use of constructions of classic forms, such as the characterization of new Applets (applications
built within the resource) which allow us to see geometric objects. In this way, on some occasions, the
classes involve video tutorials for the identification of the resource and primary constructions of known
elements, these are elaborated with the Screen Recorder Launcher and, also, the students participate in the
asynchronous explanations of the workshops carried out by them in GeoGebra showing video tutorials
of its constructions through the same tool.
Synchronous classes are distributed in two workspaces for a total of 3 hours. In the first one class,
in general, new concepts are developed through an illustrated explanation with Applets, which takes a
maximum of 40 minutes synchronously, understanding that students must do independent work for the
rest of the time, without depending on a connection synchronous. The second one is used to develop other
concepts, under the group work structure of the Blackboard Collaborate Ultra platform which allows us
to collaboratively develop tasks and deliver them during the development of the class, so the duration of
this class is the two hours, knowing that the work is in connection with small groups and that it depends
on the rhythm of work of its members. This course has two students with a neurodevelopmental disorder
and one with a specific learning disorder, who have the support of the Resource Center for Student
Success (CREE), University Wellbeing and the Uninorte Inclusive committee for teachers and students,
which implies close communication with these agencies to make the pertinent curricular adaptations to
achieve the learning results. Therefore, it is important to highlight that this way of working has allowed
us to propose a flexible and universal learning experience that benefits all students, offering various
forms of presentation and representation of information, multiple opportunities for expression and action,
and multiple forms of commitment to learning, in accordance with what is proposed in the Universal
Learning Design (DUA) framework. Finally, all this work has also been supported through the use of the
WhatsApp groups tool, whose means of communication reinforces what has been said by email and, in
the announcements section of the platform, for those who do not have immediate access to the internet,
but yes to a data plan.
CONCLUSIONS
The socio-economic, topographic and cultural reality of the country does not conform to the
strategies promoted by previous governments. Despite the conditions of the declared state of emergency,
the Ministry of National Education, together with the national government, has made proposals that

EXPERIENCES OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN VIRTUALITY IN THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CONTEXT IN COLOMBIA
adapt, in a certain way, to the possibilities of each of the Colombian universities (public and private).
Currently, strategies have been implemented in the universities that, although without prior planning, have
responded to the needs of the educational sector with possibilities of connection. On the other hand, it did
not happen in the same way with the public university, since both the private and public universities have
low-income populations (1 and 2), who mostly have scholarships from their localities or from national
programs. Virtuality accentuates the lack of democratization of education, widening the digital gap within
its participants which, ultimately, further widens the digital gap, an example of this, people from the rural
sector and vulnerable populations were excluded from this proposal of “virtualization “of education.
Among the difficulties faced by this sudden transition to virtuality, it is had that the ergonomic working
conditions of students and teachers are not adequate for the development of long working hours that they
must assume, in order to successfully finish the current semester. This leads to the segregation of the
poor, but also of those who do not have the technological access to education, of those who have only one
computer with several children studying, of those who do not have an adequate infrastructure for work, be
they parents, children, students or teachers. Added to this, the lack of teaching (and student) experience
has meant that this modality implies more time in the preparation of classes and the achievement of tasks.
Likewise, a new learning space implies commitments that start from the self-regulation of both
work and student responsibilities, in addition to representing a change in the very structure of the
development of the classes in the face of aspects of curricular, pedagogical and even time flexibility access
to each one of the activities. In this way and in accordance with what is proposed in Acevedo-Rincón
and Flórez Pabón (2019), a virtuality proposal leads to rethinking the pedagogical task and the way in
which we evaluate learning in students since evaluations of only algorithm replication (in mathematics)
make no sense in any of the models. This has been the opportunity given to us to rethink ourselves as
educators and to project another education.Also, to contemplate other models of decentralized teaching,
personalized according to the learning objectives. However, today more than ever, the importance of the
teaching role is evident, because, although the physical presence is not felt, there is a need for constant
accompaniment for the development of adequate competences, as well as to advance in the knowledge
of the contents of the course. Likewise, it is evident that the experience of an educational practice cannot
be replaced by a video tutorial or an endless number of tasks assigned to “occupy” the students, but
rather that each of the class proposals allows the student to advance to the extent that the development
of competencies requires it.
