Experiencia práctica de bases de datos educativas en el campo de la parasitología.

En la presente comunicación se describe la creación y aplicación de una base de datos educativa en el campo de la parasitología, en la Facultad de Biología de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. El material depositado en las colecciones de parasitología del departamento de zoología y antropología física de la UCM fue fotografiado en su totalidad y con las imágenes resultantes se creó una base de datos (banco de imágenes). El aprovechamiento de estas imágenes, como recurso educativo, se aplicó en tres vertientes: 1. la creación de un museo virtual que será asequible desde Internet; 2. la edición de materiales docentes en el marco de los proyectos de innovación y mejora de la calidad docente de la UCM y 3. el desarrollo de una asignatura telemática, impartida exclusivamente a través de un campus virtual.

El proyecto consiste en la edición de una página web en la que conviven los datos científicos y cursos de formación para jóvenes investigadores.

Debido a que en la segunda mitad del siglo XX se produjo un incremento importante en el numero de instituciones y personas que se dedican de manera profesional a la investigación en todos los campos de conocimiento, fue necesario un desarrollo de mejores herramientas para sistematizar la información de las investigaciones y hacerla más accesible. Es por eso que surgen las bases de datos o bancos de datos. El texto se centra en la definición, tipos, características, planeación, diseño y desarrollo de estas bases de datos.

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
