Active learning is one of the most efficient mechanisms for learning, according to the psychology of learning. When students act as teachers for other students, the communication is more fluent and knowledge is transferred easier than in a traditional classroom. This teaching method is referred to in the literature as reciprocal peer teaching. In this study, the method is applied to laboratory sessions of a higher education institution course, and the students who act as teachers are referred to as ‘‘laboratory monitors.’’ A particular way to select the monitors and its impact in the final marks is proposed. A total of 181 students participated in the experiment, experiences with laboratory monitors are discussed, and methods for motivating and training laboratory monitors and regular students are proposed. The types of laboratory sessions that can be led by classmates are discussed. This work is related to the changes in teaching methods in the Spanish higher education system, prompted by the Bologna Process for the construction of the European Higher Education Area

En países de sismicidad moderada es habitual el uso de puentes cuyo tablero está unido mediante apoyos elastoméricos y/o deslizantes, tanto a las pilas como a los estribos. La principal vulnerabilidad sísmica de estos puentes está asociada a los choques. Dicha vulnerabilidad puede valorarse estimando la probabilidad de que se produzca un determinado daño en un periodo de tiempo. En este artículo se plantean las líneas actuales para estudiar este problema, y se aplican al estudio de la vulnerabilidad de un paso superior situado en la provincia de Granada, que puede considerarse como sísmicamente aislado. El marco del estudio es la metodología del Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center, cuya aplicación se ha adaptado al caso estudiado. En el artículo se describen cada una de las etapas de que consta, aunque se presta especial atención a la identificación y caracterización de los daños susceptibles de producirse. El modelo de la estructura, que debe permitir una adecuada caracterización de los choques, también será presentado en detalle. Dado que el puente es representativo de una gran cantidad de estructuras del inventario construido en España, los resultados son doblemente importantes. Por una parte, sirven de guía para la aplicación de esta metodología a estructuras similares. Y por otra, proporcionan valores de probabilidades que pueden servir de referencia.

Collaborative e-learning is increasingly appealing as a pedagogical approach that can positively affect student learning. We propose a didactical model that integrates multimedia with collaborative tools and peer assessment to foster collaborative e-learning. In this paper, we explain it and present the results of its application to the “International Seminars on Materials Science” online course. The proposed didactical model consists of five educational activities. In the first three, students review the multimedia resources proposed by the teacher in collaboration with their classmates. Then, in the last two activities, they create their own multimedia resources and assess those created by their classmates. These activities foster communication and collaboration among students and their ability to use and create multimedia resources. Our purpose is to encourage the creativity, motivation, and dynamism of the learning process for both teachers and students.

El siguiente trabajo abarca todo el proceso llevado a cabo para el rediseño de un sistema automático de tutoría que se integra con laboratorios virtuales desarrollados para la realización de prácticas por parte de estudiantes dentro de entornos virtuales tridimensionales. Los principales objetivos de este rediseño son la mejora del rendimiento del sistema automático de tutoría, haciéndolo más eficiente y por tanto permitiendo a un mayor número de estudiantes realizar una práctica al mismo tiempo. Además, este rediseño permitirá que el tutor se pueda integrar con otros motores gráficos con un coste relativamente bajo. Se realiza en primer lugar una introducción a los principales conceptos manejados en este trabajo así como algunos aspectos relacionados con trabajos previos a este rediseño del tutor automático, concretamente la versión anterior del tutor ligada a la plataforma OpenSim. Acto seguido se detallarán qué requisitos funcionales cumplirá así como las ventajas que aportará este nuevo diseño. A continuación, se explicará el desarrollo del trabajo donde se podrá ver cómo se ha reestructurado el antiguo sistema de tutoría, la aplicación de un diseño orientado a objetos y los distintos paquetes y clases que lo conforman. Por último, se detallarán las conclusiones obtenidas durante el desarrollo del trabajo así como la implicación del trabajo aquí mostrado en futuros desarrollos.---ABSTRACT--- The following work shows the process that has been carried out in order to redesign an automatic tutoring system that can be integrated into virtual laboratories developed for supporting students’ practices in 3D virtual environments. The main goals of this redesign are the improvement of automatic tutoring system performance, making it more efficient and therefore allowing more students to perform a practice at the same time. Furthermore, this redesign allows the tutor to be integrated with other graphic engines with a relative low cost. Firstly, we begin with an introduction to the main concepts used in this work and some aspects concerning the related previous works to this automatic tutoring system redesign, such as the previous version of the tutoring system bound to OpenSim. Secondly, it will be detailed what functional requirements are met and what advantages this new tutoring system will provide. Next, it will be explained how this work has been developed, how the previous tutoring system has been restructured, how an object-oriented design is applied and the classes and packages derived from this design. Finally, it will be outlined the conclusions drawn in the development of this work as well as how this work will take part in future works.

When used appropriately, self- and peer-assessment are very effective learning tools. In the present work, instructor formative assessment and feedback, self-assessment (SA), and peer-assessment (PA) have been compared. During the first part of a semester, the students followed a continuous formative assessment. Subsequently, they were divided into two subgroups based on similar performances. One subgroup performed SAs, and the other followedPAduring the last part of the course. The performances of the two groups in solving problems were compared. Results suggest that PA is a more effective learning tool than SA, and both are more effective than instructor formative assessment. However, a survey that was conducted at the end of the experiment showed higher student confidence in instructor assessment than in PA. The students recognized the usefulness of acting as peer assessors, but believed that SA helped them more than PA.

El presente documento tiene como objetivo general desarrollar un plan de negocio para analizar la viabilidad de la creación de una nueva empresa, “MyTested S.L.”. Pretende ofrecer una herramienta para que las personas puedan comunicar a sus familiares el acceso a sus cuentas digitales una vez fallecidos. En cuanto a cómo surge la idea, fue a través de una noticia que trataba sobre el derecho al olvido en las redes sociales y en internet. Investigando un poco y prestando atención a los movimientos de las grandes empresas de internet, mi compañero/socio y yo, nos dimos cuenta de que ofrecer este servicio podría valer como negocio, ya que no existe mucha competencia en el mercado. Gracias a eso, nos planteamos en más de una ocasión la posibilidad de montar nuestro propio negocio, de forma que pudiéramos utilizar los conocimientos adquiridos en la universidad como base para crear la herramienta web. Escogimos empezar el proyecto utilizándolo como materia para el trabajo de fin de grado porque nos aporta dos valores muy importantes, ayuda de la comunidad de profesores existentes en la UPM, siendo una persona de gran aporte nuestro tutor Oscar Corcho y también, porque como estamos dedicando todo el tiempo a este proyecto, tener una fecha límite para presentar tanto la parte de modelo de negocio como la parte de desarrollo en una fecha concreta, nos ayuda a planificar y mantener una presión constante sobre el proyecto y así forzar a no abandonarlo ni prolongarlo. Con ello, nos encontramos con dos grupos de dificultades, la escasa formación a nivel empresarial y creación de modelos de negocio y en el ámbito del desarrollo al desconocimiento de tecnologías y APIs de las redes sociales. Al tratarse de una herramienta Web, parte de unos costes muy bajos como el alojamiento del servidor o la contratación temporal de comerciales para publicitar la herramienta entre funerarias y hospitales. Estos factores positivos benefician tanto la realización del proyecto como su avance. Como ya se puede intuir de la lectura del párrafo anterior, el servicio que ofrece la herramienta “MyTested S.L.” está relacionado con el segmento testamental de una persona fallecida, podríamos definirlo como testamento digital. Actualmente, vivimos en un mundo que se centra cada vez más en la parte digital y es por ello, que en un futuro cercano, todas las cuentas que creamos en internet tendrán que ser cerradas o bloqueadas cuando caen en el desuso por el fallecimiento del propietario, es en ese hueco donde podemos situarnos, ofreciendo una herramienta para poder trasladar la información necesaria a las personas elegidas por el cliente para que puedan cerrar o bloquear sus cuentas digitales. Consideramos que existe una interesante oportunidad debido a la escasez de oferta de este tipo de servicios en España y a nivel mundial. En Abril de 2015 hay inscritos en el registro Nacional de últimas voluntades 185.6651 personas por lo que encontramos que un 0,397%1 de las personas en España ha registrado su testamento. El gasto medio al hacer un testamento vital ante notario de tus bienes tiene un coste de 40 a 80 euros2 , este es el principal motivo por el que la mayoría de españoles no realiza su testamento antes de morir. Con este dato obtenemos dos lecciones, lo que la herramienta ofrece no es el documento notarial de los bienes del cliente, sino la sistema, puedan bloquear o cerrar sus cuentas. La segunda lección que obtenemos es que el precio tiene que ser muy reducido para poder llegar a un gran número de personas, añadiendo también el criterio de que el cliente podrá actualizar su información, ya que la información digital es muy fácil de cambiar y frecuente. Como se podrá leer en al apartado dedicado a nuestra visión, misión y valores, aunque estamos convencidos que se puede extraer de la lectura de cualquier parte de este documento, todos nuestros objetivos los queremos conseguir no sólo buscando un enfoque empresarial a nuestro día a día, sino convirtiendo nuestra responsabilidad social sincera, en uno de los retos que más nos ilusionan, fomentando para ello, aspectos como el desarrollo web, estudios de mercado, conocimiento de las necesidades de la población, nuevas tecnologías y negocio. En general, los objetivos que se pretenden cumplir con este estudio son: - Conocer los pasos para crear una empresa - Desarrollar un documento de plan de negocio que contenga lo siguiente: - Análisis de mercado - Definición de productos y/o servicios - Plan de publicidad y expansión (marketing) - Plan financiero - Capacidad para definir los requisitos de una aplicación Web. - Capacidad de elegir la tecnología idónea y actual de un sistema Web. - Conocer el funcionamiento de una empresa y cómo comunicarse con las herramientas gubernamentales. - Comprobar si las posibilidades que nos ofrece el entorno son las adecuadas para nuestras actividades. - Estudio, análisis de la competencia - Definir los diferentes perfiles de cliente para nuestro negocio. - Analizar la viabilidad de nuestro modelo de negocio. Para ello, comenzamos realizando una definición de las características generales del proyecto, detallando cuáles son las motivaciones que han hecho a los emprendedores embarcarse en el mismo, qué servicios ofreceremos a nuestros clientes, el porqué de la elección del sector, así́ como nuestra misión, visión y valores.---ABSTRACT---The goal and aim of the present document is to develop a business plan in order to analyze the viability of build a new enterprise, that we will name MyTested S.L., it wants offer a tool for sharing and to facilitate to the relatives of a dead person the access to the digital accounts. Talking about how come up the idea, it was once a have read a news over the “right of forgotten” throughout social nets and inside internet, researching a little and paying attention to the different movements of the biggest internet companies, my peer ( and partner) and I were aware that to offer this service might be a good business, because does not exist many competitors on this kind of market service, mainly thanks of that, we have planned on several times the possibility to build our owner company, in the way to use the capabilities that we achieved in the University as based to develop and make a web tool. We choose begin this project as subject of our Final Project Degree after analyze the positive and negative point of views: The positive was because it has two main values, firstly the support of the current teachers UPM community, specially our fellow Oscar Corcho and also because we can´t dedicate all our time to this project, so to have a deadline to present either the business model as the develop on time, help us to plan and remain a constant pressure over the project and neither drop out it or extend it more that the necessary. As a web tool, neither the hosting of maintenance or for sort out a net of temporary commercials for visiting hospitals or undertaker´s or insurances, the cost don´t are expensive In the negative side, however, we found twice some main difficulties, the few training as entrepreneur level and how to build a business model and on the other hand the lack of awareness of the technologies and apps of the social net software as well. As summary, these positives facts enhance to work project out and also to develop it. As we could understand reading on the latest paragraph, the service that will do MyTested tool is relation with the testament issue of a dead person, we might call as a digital testament. Currently we are living in world which is focus further on the digital life, for that in a near future every internet accounts should be closed or locked whenever aren´t used by the dead of the owner, this is a market niche (never better said) where we can lead, offering a tool that might transfer the necessary information to the chosen persons by the client in order to allow either close or lock his digital accounts. We are considering that there are interesting opportunities due to the few offers of that kind of service in Spain and at global level. In April 2015 there were 185.6651 persons registered in the Official National last will and testament, this figure mean that the 0,397%1 of the Spaniards citizens have registered their testaments. The average cost of doing the testament of your assets with a Notary is since 40 up to 80€2, this is one of the principal motives because the majority of the Spaniards don´t do it before dead. With these data we might get two lessons, we are not talking about an official notary testament at all, it is only for close or lock the digital accounts by the chosen person by the dead client, and the latest lesson, but not least, the price of our service must be very cheaper in order to achieve touch an important amount of people, knowing also that he client will be able update the information filled, considering that this kind of information is very easy to change and update frequently. As we can read on the stage dedicated to our Vision, Mission and Values, although we are persuaded that can be read in everywhere of this document as well, our aim doesn´t be an business focus on day to day, is also to become our honest social responsibility in this challenge, that is our mainly eagerness, enhancing some aspects as the web development, market research and the knowledge of the population needs, new technologies and new market opportunities. In general the goals that we would like get within this project are: - Achieve the knowledge needs for be an entrepreneurial, and find out the steps for star a business - Achieve market research skills - Products and services definitions - Advertising plan and growth (marketing plan) - Financial plan knowledge - Capability of a web design requirements - Capability for choose the best and actual technology for web design - Knowledge over how work out inside a company and how communicate with official tools. - Check whether the possibilities of the environment are the adequate for our activities. - Research and competitiveness analysis - Define the different profiles of the target for our business. - Analyze the viability of the business model For all that, we began with a definition of the general features of the project, detailing which are the motivations those done to the entrepreneurial get on board, which kind of service we offered to the client, also why the selection of the market sector and our mission, vision and value as well.

A educação a distância (EAD) é uma modalidade de ensino antiga que se renova com as novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação (NTIC). O momento presente é promissor para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas neste âmbito, visto o crescimento desta modalidade de ensino no Brasil. Universidades brasileiras (públicas, privadas, comunitárias e confessionais) têm investido em projetos de educação a distância; percebe-se que os modelos utilizados carecem precisão na configuração das funções exercidas pelos vários atores presentes na EAD. Por esta razão, o trabalho tutorial é pe squisado tendo como objetivo o desvelar das relações entre a formação do sujeito e o papel do professor tutor, considerando o Projeto Pedagógico Institucional e o projeto pedagógico dos cursos a distância, bem como suas proposituras sobre a concepção antropológica (homem), a concepção gnosiológica (conhecimento) e a concepção política (relações político-sociais). As hipóteses que sustentaram a pesquisa consideraram a tutoria como: mediadora no processo de construção do conhecimento e desenvolvimento do sujeito e como uma das responsáveis pela articulação da equipe de EAD, nas relações com o corpo discente, da Universidade Metodista de São Paulo. O texto, a seguir, é fruto do desejo de corroborar com o desenvolvimento desta modalidade de ensino no Brasil.(AU)
