(JCR).Item Enhancing informal learning recognition through TRAILER project(2013-09-24) Conde-González, M. Á.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Zangrando, Valentina; García-Holgado, Alicia; Seoane Pardo, Antonio M.; Alier Forment, Marc; Galanis, Nikolas; Griffiths, Dai; Johnson, Mark; Janssen, Jose; Brouns, Francis; Vogten, Hubert; Finders, Anton; Sloep, Peter; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Viegas, Maria C.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Waszkiewicz, Elwira; Mykowska, Aleksandra; Minovic, Miroslav; Milovanovic, MilosThe evolution of new technology and its increasing use, has for some years been making the existence of informal learning more and more transparent, especially among young and older adults in both Higher Education and workplace contexts. However, the nature of formal and non-formal, coursebased, approaches to learning has made it hard to accommodate these informal processes satisfactorily. The project aims to facilitate first the identification by the learner (as the last responsible of the learning process), and then the recognition by the institution, in dialogue with the learner, of this learning. To do so a methodology and a technological framework to support it have been implemented. This project have been tested in several context and it is possible to say that an informal learning dialogue between learners and people in chargé of the institutions is possibleItem Managing Informal Learning in professional contexts: the learner’s perspective(2013-09-24) Marques, Maria Arcelina; Viegas, Maria C.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Zangrando, Valentina; Galanis, Nikolas; Janssen, Jose; Waszkiewicz, Elwira; Conde-González, M. Á.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.Informal Learning is present in everyone's life but its awareness only recently has been reported. The need to keep track of the knowledge acquired this way is increasing as its sources diversity also increases. This work presents the pilots trials on the use of a tool developed to help keeping track of the learners’ informal learning, within a number of companies spread out in three countries. This tool developed through the European Commission funded project TRAILER, is still under development, which will allow integrating the set of improving suggestions obtained from users during the piloting phase. The overall idea of managing one’s informal learning was well accepted and welcomed, which validated the emerging need for a tool with this purpose.Item TRAILER project overview: Tagging, recognition and acknowledgment of informal learning experiences(2013-01-15) García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Zangrando, Valentina; García-Holgado, Alicia; Conde-González, M. Á.; Seoane Pardo, Antonio M.; Alier Forment, Marc; Janssen, Jose; Griffiths, Dai; Mykowska, Aleksandra; Alves, Gustavo R.; Minovic, MiroslavThe evolution of new technology and its increasing use, have for some years been making the existence of informal learning more and more transparent, especially among young and older adults in both Higher Education and workplace contexts. However, the nature of formal and non-formal, course-based, approaches to learning has made it hard to accommodate these informal processes satisfactorily, and although technology bring us near to the solution, it has not yet achieved. TRAILER project aims to address this problem by developing a tool for the management of competences and skills acquired through informal learning experiences, both from the perspective of the user and the institution or company. This paper describes the research and development main lines of this project.Item GRIAL (GRupo de investigación en InterAcción y eLearning), USAL(ADIE, Asociación para el Desarrollo de la Informática Educativa, 2012-06-25) Rodríguez Conde, María José; Seoane Pardo, Antonio M.; Zangrando, Valentina; García Holgado, AliciaEl GRupo de Investigación en InterAcción y eLearning (GRIAL) de la Universidad de Salamanca nace en 2006 como resultado de la unión de tres ámbitos de investigación bien diferenciados que encuentran en este contexto una extraordinaria complementariedad (la Ingeniería Informática, la Educación y la Teoría de la Comunicación). De estas sinergias surgen siete líneas de investigación estrechamente vinculadas entre sí de manera transversal. Estos ámbitos son sistemas interactivos para el aprendizaje, las tecnologías para el aprendizaje, la ingeniería web y la arquitectura del software, la metodología del aprendizaje online, la calidad y evaluación en educación, la teoría de la comunicación y la gestión estratégica del conocimiento de la tecnología. Estas líneas dan lugar al desarrollo de un gran número de proyectos de investigación, tanto nacionales como internacionales, los más relevantes de los cuales se detallan en estas páginas. Por último, GRIAL desarrolla una ingente labor de transferencia cuyas principales líneas se ilustran en el último apartado.Item Multicultural Interdisciplinary Handbook: tools for learning history and geography in a multicultural perspective(Analyzing Textbooks. Methodological Issues (Jahrbuch – Yearbook – Annales. Yearbook of the International Socitey of History Didactics), Schwalbach/Ts, 2011) Zangrando, Valentina; Simmet, OliverItem Multicultural Interdisciplinary Handbook (MIH): Tools for Learning History and Geography in a Multicultural and ICT Perspective. In Technology Enhanced Learning: Quality of Teaching and Educational Reform. 1st International Conference, TECH-EDUCATION 2010, Athens, Greece, May 19-21, 2010.(2010-06-21) Zangrando, Valentina; García Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Seoane Pardo, Antonio M.Despite official educational guidelines, improved linguistic skills have been limited in all partner countries due to cuts in their national budgets. As a consequence CLIL experiences have been lessened, to the sole benefit of those involving English. Another reason for this project resides in the difficulty in modifying the guidelines of national programmes, which are often shortsighted as far as other cultures are concerned. Finally, all European reports point out the shortage of materials and ICTbased contests suitable for interdisciplinary and multicultural education in school. The MIH (Multicultural Interdisciplinary Handbook) project meets these needs by providing new tools that will help teachers and pupils to plunge deeper into the culture and the language of another nation via its memorials, its history and its landscape/geography. Moreover, it intends to promote the common European identity, as it introduces a European perspective in the schools’ History and Geography programmes, which are usually confined to national borders.
