Item Systematic review of Erasmus+ projects labelled as good practice and related to e-learning and ICT: Some case studies(2023-11-22) Alonso de Castro, M. G.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.This article focuses on the methodology applied for the review of European educational projects, within the framework of Erasmus+, labelled as good practices and that are related to electronic learning or the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education. In addition, some of the projects that have passed all the research phases and have proven to be sustainable over time are analyzed. The projects presented represent different educational sectors and propose learning systems through ICT with the involvement of students and/or teachers. As they are good practice projects, the article can contribute both to the use or transfer of the resources developed in these projects, and to be able to inspire new projects in those lines of work. The main factors that have contributed to the success of the projects are their usefulness for the educational community beyond the time of funding, the use of innovative methodologies applied with teachers and students, establishing them in the participating institutions. Another notable fact is the good collaboration and rapport between all the project partners who worked to get common objectives.Item Use of ICT and Erasmus+ Good practice projects(2023-10-31) Alonso de Castro, M. G.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.Today's society faces constant changes that require continuous adaptation, which directly impacts education. To prepare people for the labor market, continuous training, electronic learning or eLearning, and the use of ICT are essential. In this sense, numerous educational projects are carried out, such as the international projects of the Erasmus+ Programme. These projects make it possible to address everyday needs with educational institutions from different countries, obtaining valuable results that can inspire and be transferred to other similar institutions. Successful projects are available on the Erasmus+ Project Results Platform, some identified as good practices that can serve as references. However, it is essential to remember that they must be adapted to the subjects and contexts in which they will be applied. This article will reflect on these aspects and present examples of successful projects and how educational inspection can contribute to the number of similar initiatives in educational centers with their work.Item ICT methodologies for teacher professional development in Erasmus+ projects related to eLearning(IEEE, 2021-09-30) Alonso de Castro, M. G.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.The European Union promotes the development of European projects that provide relevant information on the methodologies used at educational level through different programs, including the Erasmus+ Programme. These projects are the source of inspiration for the research that gives rise to this article among others. This paper focuses on how teachers’ professional development is approached using technologies within European projects related to eLearning under the umbrella of Erasmus+. The results show a greater representation of projects from the school education and vocational education and training fields. As its main results it could be highlighted that the most predominant ICT resources used by the teachers are those linked with office automation management, basic skills, and presentations as well as platforms for collaboration; those related to video and photo edition, the use of network resources and digital learning environment also stand out. Besides regarding ICT training the most frequent activities are “training by another teacher who has attended a course on ICT” and “Observation practices to other teachers who use ICT in their teaching”. Variations between educational sectors are detected that may be the reason for a more in-depth investigation.Item Most used ICT methodologies for student learning in Erasmus+ projects related to eLearning(IEEE, 2021-09-23) Alonso de Castro, M. G.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.European projects provide very valuable information on the methodologies that are being used at an educational level in different countries of the European Union and associated countries, for this reason this article focuses on how students' learning is approached through technologies within European projects related to the field of eLearning. The information provided is the result of the research that is being carried out on the PhD work within the GRIAL group of the University of Salamanca. The results show a greater representation of projects from the school and VET sectors and that the predominant ICT tools used by the students are those connected to office automation management, basic skills as well as the use of network resources and platforms for collaboration, and digital educational games, with small differences between educational fields.Item Propuestas Europeas para Trabajar en la Brecha de Género en STEM: Un Análisis Sistemático(IEEE, 2020-10-01) García-Holgado, A.; Verdugo-Castro, S.; González-González, C. S.; Sánchez-Gómez, M. C.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.There is a critical gender gap in the STEM areas at all levels of education and the labour market. In this context, the European Union has included an increase in female participation in STEM as one of its priorities. It has funded a considerable amount of research projects, so a substantial number of institutions and organizations across Europe has worked on the same objective, but there are not an analysis of the proposals and achievements in all those research projects. This work aims to present an overview of the outputs from European research projects developed during the last five years related to the gender gap in STEMItem Technological ecosystems in the health sector: a mapping study of European research projects(Springer Nature, 2019-03-14) García-Holgado, A.; Marcos-Pablos, S.; Therón-Sánchez, R.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.The European Union has a substantial investment in research and development and demand side-measures in the health sector in order to promote new initiatives, prevent disease and foster healthy lifestyles. In particular, the European Commission and other European entities have funded research projects focused on the use of technology in the health sector. In this context, health research initiatives have evolved from user-centred monolithic solutions into collaborative partnerships of different stakeholders that gather around different technological platforms. In order to identify the lacks and opportunities in this area, a systematic mapping study was conducted with the aim of identifying and analysing the recent research projects developed in Europe related to technological ecosystems in the health sector. The study covered closed European research projects from 2003 to 2018. This paper aims to extend that systematic mapping study through ongoing research projects. The analysis of these research projects provides an overview of the current trends and identify the lacks and opportunities to define new advances in this research area. Moreover, the comparison between the first mapping study focused on closed projects, and the current study, allows getting an overview of the evolution of technological ecosystems in the health sectorItem Technological ecosystems in the health sector: A mapping study of European research projects(2019-03-22) García-Holgado, A.; Marcos-Pablos, S.; Therón, R.; García-Peñalvo, F.

J.Over the past decade, the health domain has grown at a fast pace. The stakeholders are not only limited to patients, but also include formal and informal careers, doctors, research institutions and technological solution providers. As such, different technological ecosystems of interconnected health communities have arisen to adopt the best practices to improve the wellbeing and health of patients. In order to identify the lacks and opportunities in this area, this paper aims at providing a comprehensive overview of the ecosystems in the health domain, presenting a systematic mapping study of research projects developed in Europe and related to the field. The systematic mapping review was conducted on the AAL Programme, CORDIS and KEEP databases. The paper describes the methodology employed for conducting such a review, and provides an analysis of results that give an overview of the evolution of related European projects until today along with the conclusions obtained from the study
