Impact of Technology and Globality in Engineering EducationImpact of Technology and Globality in Engineering Education
 How is evolving Education…
 How is evolving the World & Education …
 Progress and Evolution in the use of
Learning Technologies
 Platforms, Applications, Laboratories, X-Learning
 From the Learning Objects to OCW …
 … and to MOOC
 Conclusions

 This presentation will show how new global activities and technology are
impacting Engineering Education. New ways of teaching, such as MOOCs
and blended learning, as well as different kinds of learning analytics,
assessment and engagement will be analyzed and connected. The
evolution of teaching through face-to-face, distance learning and now
online learning will be linked to the increasing use of technology in
teaching, analyzing the main critical factors in the EHEA, USA and other
reference countries and continents. This evolution is driving us to blended
learning and jumping to open education (OCW and MOOCs) caused today
by a change in the higher education paradigm pushed by the international
crisis as well as the in-depth refurbishing of the public and private
university roles in the different education steps and in longlife learning.

 E-learning was used at the begining to define
on-line learning
 Distance and on-line education now is
increasing
 E-learning,
 For the distance education
 For the flexible learning
 But used together with the
traditional learning
Blended learning

 Learning Management Systems
 LMS / LCMS
 LMS bring a useful set of
tools supporting:
 Creation, maintenance and
delivery of on-line courses
 Register and student management
 Content management
 Task scheduling and student activities
 E-learning frameworks bring specifications for
the integration and new tools development

 Metadata must include all the aditional
information that the user must need
 Learning object repositories are the best way to
share knowledge
 Learning objects are the best way to solve:
 Interoperability
 Reusability
 Automatic updates
 Personalization

 Started at MIT in 2001
 Main objective was to offer learning materials to the
Society in an open way at no aditional cost
 Now MIT is offering more than 2,000 courses
 Open and free and
 Universally accesible in the Internet
 eduCommons environment

 MOOC – Massive Open Online Course
 Evolution to the openess:
 Learning Objects (units)
 Open Course Ware (contents)
 MOOC (delivery)
• Course design – vídeo paradigm – evaluation – contents
• Difference between OPEN and FREE
• Author grants and use
• Copyright / Copyleft (Creative Commons)
• Too much students
• Any place access online

• Three profiles:
Student Teacher Provider
• Video based model
• Animator / Curator / Teachers (contents)
• Gamification (badges, karma)
• Accreditation (digital, on-site examination)

Castro Gil
• Three profiles:
Massive - Collaborative (massive number)
Open - Free (not evident)
Online - Any moment any place (focus)
Course - Support and animator and curator
(not …)

Castro Gil
• Three profiles:
Massive - Visibility (accreditation ?)
Open - Business model
Online - 24 hours open (overload)
Course - Load recognition and reward
(overload)

Castro Gil
• Three profiles:
Massive - Business (big opportunity)
Open - Business (model)
Online - Business (global opportunity)
Course - Teachers (needs, design)

• MOOL – Massive Open Online Laboratories
• MOOC with Integrated Remote Laboratories
