Technology Enhanced Learning Guide

Technology is changing how students learn and how we research. Perhaps you want to use technology to enhance communication or improve student support. You may want create a distance learning activity, a flexibly delivered module or indeed a whole course. You may simply want to find out where to find authoritative information, or to see what support exists for this type of work. The University is committed to delivering high quality learning and teaching, using technology where appropriate, in order to offer a distinctive Southampton educational experience. Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL), also known as e‑learning, is becoming increasingly important to students, teaching staff and the institution. This guide highlights some of the most important matters to consider. It is intended to help you to tackle the key issues that determine the success of TEL projects and to work on those projects in a considered way. Written with the input of colleagues from around the University, it prompts you to ask important questions and points you to sources of up-to-date knowledge and advice. Technology changes rapidly. This guide is about managing the work in a practical way. The University supports the use of a variety of TEL approaches for teaching and learning and colleagues are ready to offer their experience and advice. Each person has distinctive skills and specific experiences. No single person will have all the answers you are looking for. Be ready to investigate alternative approaches that suit you and your students’ needs in different ways. - Madeline Paterson, University of Southampton

Proceso de reestructuración y fortalecimiento institucional Asociación Santa Cruz

La Asociación Santa Cruz es una organización que lleva más de 17 años generando espacios de formación para niños, adolescentes y jóvenes. Los proyectos que ejecuta son programas auténticos para la juventud, atractivos para ellos y para quienes los forman (Entidades educativas y núcleos familiares). Por medio de la educación experiencial y las actividades al aire libre hemos encontrado la herramienta prefecta para formar de una manera actual y profunda. Los resultados del presente proceso se evidencian de la siguiente manera: a) estructuración de un organigrama funcional para la organización. b) Realización de los manuales de funciones y procedimientos de todos los trabajadores de la organización. c) Realización de la proyección financiera por parte del proyecto EKO Campos de verano. d) Análisis del mercado que permite una proyección fiable en ventas. Gracias al trabajo realizado en este proceso de mejora se entrega un plan de acción que potencializa la organización para que cumpliendo con todos los parámetros dados podamos generar una organización autosostenible que aumenta sus clientes anualmente en al menos un 20%, generando un superávit anual de hasta $200.000.000 en los primeros 5 años y de hasta $600.000.000 en los años 5 al 10. Gracias al proceso de mejora la asociación se convertirá en la organización Colombiana que más campos de verano residenciales realiza al año: 8 para el 2012. Es una asociación que puede auntosostenerse gracias a proyectos propios y no depende sino en un 20% de las donaciones que recibe. El medio de la educación no formal es una industria con un potencial muy grande en Colombia ya que es una oferta débil y pequeña para una demanda grande y con una necesidad fácil de identificar. Implementando este proceso de reestructuración la asociación tendrá la oportunidad de atender una población de alrededor de 300 personas para el 2012 y podrá acercarse a las 1.200 para el año 2022.

Modification of personality variables through application of a psycho-educational program of full consciousness (mindfulness) in university students

This study examines the effects in university students of a psycho-educational program in full awareness (mindfulness) on certain personality variables. A quasi-experimental (group comparison) design with pretest and postest measurements was employed in an experimental (n = 26) and a control group (n = 27). Barratt impulsiveness Scale (BiS- 11), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ), Social Avoidance and Distress Scale (SAD), and the Profile of Mood States (POMS) were applied to experimental and control groups. The results show statistically significant changes in impulsivity variables, experiential avoidance, social avoidance, social anxiety, tension and fatigue when comparing the posttest mean scores of the groups.
