    Association rules with SIA in B-Learning Courses: A mapping review
    (Editorial Virtual Argentina, 2017-04-20) Pazmiño-Maji, R. A,; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Conde-González, M. Á.
    According to scopus between the years 2012 and 2016 there are 3556 scientific documents about Blended Learning, these have been and are still an emerging learning methodology. With this document, we determine the association rules with statistical implicative analysis (SIA) in B-Learning courses in Science Faculty at the ESPOCH University. To this end, we use mapping review in the blended learning courses used in the last 5 years (2012 to 2016) in Institutional platform, milaulas.com, and google. We started with 3350 B-Learning courses and finally 13 had all quality criteria. This document also describe a Institutional experience about Association rules with SIA in B-Learning Courses in the last five years.

    PLEs y plataformas de aprendizaje: Opiniones de profesores en contextos universitarios diferentes
    (RUTE Ediciones, 2016-12-31) Humanante-Ramos, P.; Conde-González, M. Á.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.
    La incorporación de las plataformas de aprendizaje en la práctica docente universitaria constituye un importante aporte para los procesos de aprendizaje de los estudiantes, sin embargo otras tecnologías, recursos y herramientas de uso común como aquellas de la Web 2.0 y los dispositivos móviles también influyen en la forma de aprender y forman parte de sus Entornos Personales de Aprendizaje (PLE). Por otro lado el nivel de acceso de los ciudadanos a las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación no es igual entre países de diferentes continentes, lo que podría influir en la forma de entender y gestionar los PLEs. Este trabajo investiga los criterios que tienen los docentes acerca del aporte de las plataformas de aprendizaje a los PLEs de sus estudiantes a partir de un estudio previo realizado a nivel discente en dos universidades de contextos geográficos y tecnológicos distintos pertenecientes a España y Ecuador. Los resultados indican más similitudes que diferencias entre las opiniones de los profesores consultados.

    (ACM, 2017-10-18) Conde-González, M. Á.; Sarasa-Cabezuelo, A.; Sierra, J. L.
    This paper introduces the TEEM 17 track for the 8th International Workshop on Software Engineering for E-Learning (ISELEÁR’17). The ISELEÁR workshop focuses on the systematic construction of E-Learning ecosystems by using appropriate methods, techniques and tools. Thus, and contrarily to other venues in E-Learning, which highlight the pedagogical dimension of the E-Learning ecosystems, ISELEÁR highlights the development aspects of the software that supports these ecosystems. This introduction describes the workshop’s mission, history, and review and selection process, and summarizes the papers accepted for the 2017 edition of the workshop.

    Comparing Hierarchical Trees in Statistical Implicative Analysis & Hierarchical Cluster in Learning Analytics
    (ACM, 2017-10-18) Pazmiño-Maji, R. A.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Conde-González, M. Á.
    Learning Analytics has been and is still an emerging technology in education; the amount of research on learning analysis is increasing every year. The integration of new open source tools, analysis methods, and other calculation options are important. This paper aims to compare hierarchical trees in Statistical Implicative Analysis (SIA) and some hierarchical clusters in Learning Analytics. To this end, we must use a quasi-experimental design with random binary data. A comparison is about the time it takes to evaluate the function for execute the four cluster algorithms: cohesion tree (ASI), similarity tree (ASI), agnes (cluster R package) and hclust (R base function). This paper provides an alternative hierarchical cluster used in Statistical Implicative Analysis that is possible to use in Learning Analytics (LA). Also, provides a comparative R-program used and identifies future research about software performance.

    Promoting Computational Thinking in K-12 students by applying unplugged methods and robotics
    (ACM, 2017-10-18) Conde-González, M. Á.; Ferández-Llamas, C.; Rodríguez-Sedano, F. J.; Guerrero-Higueras, Á. M.; Matellán-Olivera, V.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.
    Nowadays students live in the digital age and they do not only should learn to speak, write or develop speci􀀀ic skills. Students needs to be successful in their context and a possible way to achieve this is by developing the computational thinking. In the last few years there are several initiatives to promote computational thinking and to de􀀀ine approaches and methods to support it. One of this is the unplugged methods, in which students develop computational thinking skills without using the technology. This paper presents an experiment to promote computational thinking by using unplugged methods and employing robots as teachers as an engagement factor for the students. During the experiment, they have been distributed in two groups. One has carried out unplugged activities to develop computational thinking while the other did not. From the experiment, it is possible to see that results are better for those students that have completed unplugged activities and there are differences depending on age.

    Study of the flexibility of a Learning Analytics tool to evaluate teamwork competence acquisition in different contexts
    (CEUR-WS.org, 2017-07-04) Conde-González, M. Á.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Fidalgo-Blanco, Á.; Sein-Echaluce, M. L.
    Learning analytics tools and methodologies aim to facilitate teachers and/or decision makers with information and knowledge about what is happening in virtual learning environments in a straightforward and effortless way. However, it is necessary to apply these tools and methodologies in different contexts with a similar success, that is, that they should be flexible and portable enough. There exist several learning analytics tools that only works properly with very specific versions of learning platforms. In this paper, the authors aim to evaluate the flexibility and portability of a methodology and a learning analytics tool that supports individual assessment of teamwork competence. In order to do so the methodology and the tool are applied in a similar course from two different academic contexts. After the experiment, it is possible to see that the learning analytics tool seems to work properly and the suggested new functionalities are similar in both contexts. The methodology can be also applied but results could be improved if some meetings are carried out to check how team works are progressing with their tasks.

    SIA’s asymmetric rules approximation to hierarchical clustering in Learning Analytics: mathematical issues
    (2017-07-17) Pazmiño, R. A.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Conde-González, M. Á.
    Bichsel, proposes an analytics maturity model used to evaluate the progress in the use of academic and learning analytics. In the progress, there are positive results but, most institutions are below 80% level. Most institutions also scored low for data analytics tools, reporting, and expertise"]. In addition, a task with the methods of Data Mining and Learning Analytics is analyze them (precision, accuracy, sensitivity, coherence, fitness measures, cosine, confidence, lift, similarity weights) for optimize and adapt them]. Learning Analytics was and continues to be an emerging technology. The time to adoption Horizon is one year or less but, how many institutions, teachers, learners and data analytics tools, are ready? Statistical Implicative Analysis (SIA) was created for Regis Gras , 45 years ago, SIA is a statistical theory which provides a group of data analytics tools to extract knowledge. The approach is performed starting from the generation of asymmetric rules similar to dendrograms used in the hierarchical clusters. But, the asymmetric rules can be used like a hierarchical clusters? The principal aim of this paper is to give mathematical issues of asymmetric rules to hierarchical clustering in Learning Analytics.

    Entornos personales de aprendizaje móvil: una revisión sistemática de la literatura
    (Asociación Iberoamericana de Educación Superior a Distancia (AIESAD), 2017-06-18) Humanante-Ramos, P.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Conde-González, M. Á.
    Actualmente, los entornos personales de aprendizaje aparecen como espacios educativos centrados en el estudiante para superar los limitantes identificados en las plataformas de aprendizaje institucional. Sin embargo, la mayoría de estudios publicados se basan únicamente en el uso de computadores sin considerar los dispositivos electrónicos móviles. El presente trabajo analiza la producción científica y académica sobre los Entornos Personales de Aprendizaje móvil en la Educación Superior. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, el estudio se realizó por medio de una revisión sistemática de la literatura utilizando varios recursos como: Scopus, Web Of Science, Google Scholar, entre otros. Se recogieron inicialmente una gran cantidad de documentos entre los años 2000 y 2016, a los cuales se aplicaron varios criterios de selección y de calidad, obteniéndose un número reducido de estudios que se analizaron de manera cualitativa. Los resultados fueron descritos en categorías de acuerdo a las preguntas de investigación planteadas, donde se incluyeron aquellos estudios sobre dispositivos móviles y entornos personales de aprendizaje, los que muestran proyectos de plataformas integradas, las investigaciones donde se usan herramientas externas con un enfoque más pedagógico, algunos aportes teóricos y los que evalúan estas innovaciones. En conclusión, los entornos personales de aprendizaje móvil se muestran como escenarios tecnológicos de reciente introducción en la educación universitaria y, aunque se han encontrado resultados satisfactorios, se requiere más investigación para poder establecer generalizaciones replicables en otros contextos.
