Item Evaluation of M-Learning among students according to their behaviour with apps(Nova Science Publishers, 2017-05-01) Briz Ponce, Laura; Pereira, A.; Juanes-Méndez, J. A.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.The present paper has the goal to provide some insights regarding the current use of mobile technologies for learning. This research was conducted at University of Salamanca and University of Aveiro and took into account the collaboration of 518 students from both universities. The main results indicate that the students are very willing to use m-learning and there is a relationship between the use of mobile devices (frequency of use of Tablet) and the use of Apps with the global evaluation of m-learning by students. However, most part of students still reported an unawareness and a lack of necessity of these instruments, which brings into light that it is necessary to support and promote the use of these technologies with a curricular and educational purpose by institutions and universities.Item The Learning Improvement of Engineering Students using Peer-Created Complementary Resources(Tempus Publication, 2017-03-31) Sein-Echaluce Lacleta, M. L.; Fidalgo-Blanco, Á.; Esteban-Escaño, J.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.In any organization, the individual is considered an issuer of knowledge who can improve corporate knowledge, and learning is considered to be a key factor in promoting the creation of knowledge. As the knowledge of the individual increases, the organization's knowledge also increases. The same happens in educational institutions, but there is a tendency in most educational methodologies to consider the student as a mere recipient of knowledge. This paper presents a model where the student is shown as a knowledge issuer both for their own benefit and for their peers. The key idea is the transfer of knowledge produced by students to organizational knowledge through the knowledge management system the Collaborative Academic Resources Finder (BRACO, for its acronym in Spanish). At the same time, certain quantitative measurement instruments provide insight into student perception of the use of this knowledge in a particular subject in their engineering degree studies as well as the measure of BRACO impact on their learning outcomes. The results of this work show that an experimental group obtained higher scores in tests than a control group. Results also show that BRACO had a significant impact on learning, and students promoted, organized and used the resources generated by fellow students.
