The present article describes an innovative application of microcomputers to provide instruction simultaneously to graduate students on campus and to a group of doctoral students located 100 miles from campus. Using Macintosh Classic II computers and supporting equipment, both groups were taught a two-course sequence on statistical methods over two ten-week quarters. Evaluative data indicated similar academic achievement in both groups and comparable performance to previous sections of the course. Student attitudes were mixed, with students on-campus being more critical of the approach than students off-campus. The instructional approach appears to provide a viable alternative solution to a difficult problem for distance education. The use of Macintosh Classic II computers to facilitate instruction over long distance provides an acceptable compromise between extensive travel by either students or an instructor.

E Learning

Life-long learning is currently being embraced as a central process that could disrupt traditional educational paths. Apparently, the (ideal) type of learning often promoted is deep and meaningful learning, though it is not always required to be so. Deep learning goes beyond superficial knowledge assimilation of unlinked facts; it aims at developing deep disciplinary understanding, transformative knowledge, personal meaning, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, creativity and metacognitive skills. Meaningful learning occurs when learning is active, constructive, intentional, authentic, and cooperative. Technology enhanced teaching and learning methods should prove their potential to transform life-long learning provision and facilitate the achievement of deep and meaningful learning. In the context of distance education inlife-long learning, one important challenge is the design of versatile quality assurance strategies for e-training. Based on the experiences in distance lifelong learning programmes in the University of Patras’ Educational Center for Life-Long Learning (KEDIVIM) the authors present how the principles and attributes of deep and meaningful learning can be combined with project management in practice and be incorporated in an e-Learning quality strategy. We present i) the methods used to assess the quality of the e-Learning programmes, ii) key findings of the evaluation process and iii) first research evaluation results on the quality of learning. This research study on learning process quality was conducted by using an online questionnaire, which aimed at estimating the level of participants’ satisfaction while using interactive learning methods such as collaborative learning. Some results of the evaluation indicate that the e-Learning quality strategy led to e-Learning programmes that used active learning methods to achieve high learners’ satisfaction towards deep and meaningful learning.

Distance Education System

This paper begins with the design theories and principles of the long-distance education system. By analyzing the features of the ubiquitous learning and the modes of the long-distance education, the paper designs a communication procedure optimized long-distance education system. It detailed describes the system construction which integrates the optimal communication routines and long-distance education into a whole system. The procedure needs to gradually extend each component in the system in order to adapt the continuous developing techniques and changing learning ideology.

Degree Level

The Cambodian School of Prosthetics and Orthotics (CSPO) in collaboration with La Trobe University, Australia, has established an upgrade programme from ISPO Category II level to a Bachelor Degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics. One group of students have completed the course and following a review process, a second group are now enrolled. The upgrade curriculum focuses on clinical reasoning and development of learning skills. A survey aimed to investigate the challenges of the programme using long distance education was prepared and data was gathered by questionnaires delivered to the organizer, host, coordinators, lecturers and students of the programme. Eleven subjects from various backgrounds participated in the questionnaire. The questionnaire showed the programme improves the capacity of the clinicians and future educators in Cambodia and the region. The distance education course delivery method was found to be beneficial for the students and allows them to remain in their home country. In addition, there is a cost reduction compared to full-time study in Australia.

La educación a distancia en la era de las TIC. Una visión desde los docentes de una carrera técnica de perfil agropecuario AUTORES: Gemma Domínguez Calvo[1]                  Annia García Pereira[2]                    Alexis Torres Alfonso[3]                   Alexander López Padrón[4] DIRECCIÓN PARA CORRESPONDENCIA: [email protected] Fecha de recepción: dr - mr -                           Fecha de aceptación: da -   ma -   RESUMEN La virtualización de la enseñanza como uno de los principales objetivos en la Agenda 2030 para la educación y el desarrollo implica un cambio de paradigma hacia un proceso de formación y gestión universitaria sustentado en el uso de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones (TIC). El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar la evolución de la EaD en Cuba y la percepción de los docentes para implementar la modalidad en una Carrera Técnica Agropecuaria en este caso la Ingeniería en Procesos Agroindustriales. Para ello se realizó el análisis histórico del surgimiento de la EaD, mientras que auxiliados de otros métodos teóricos y empíricos se estableció su desarrollo teniendo en cuenta la evolución de los recursos tecnológicos como medio para establecer la comunicación e interrelación y las características de los recursos educativos. Con tal propósito, en el contexto cubano y para la formación de ingenieros en Procesos Agroindustriales, se realizó una investigación de tipo descriptiva, con el empleo de la escala de actitud de Osgood y una encuesta para docentes. Los resultados alcanzados evidenciaron que, aunque la sociedad cubana da pasos agigantados en el uso de las TIC no es aprovechada al máximo sus potencialidades en los procesos formativos, reflejándose en la indeterminación de los docentes ante la modalidad a distancia para una carrera técnica, al tiempo que reconocen las potencialidades del empleo de las TIC para los procesos de formación. Palabras Clave: educación a distancia; tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones; ubicuidad. Distance education in the ICT era. A view from the teachers of a technical career with an agricultural profile ABSTRACT The virtualization of education as one of the main objectives in the 2030 Agenda for education and development implies a paradigm shift towards a university training and management process based on the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). The objective of this research was to evaluate the evolution of distance education (E@D) in Cuba and the perception of teachers to implement the modality in an Agricultural Technical Career, in this case Engineering in Agroindustrial Processes. For this, the historical analysis of the emergence of E@D was carried out, while aided by other theoretical and empirical methods, its development was established taking into account the evolution of technological resources as a means to establish communication and interrelation and the characteristics of educational resources. For this purpose, in the Cuban context and for the training of engineers in Agroindustrial Processes, a descriptive investigation was carried out, using the Osgood attitude scale and a survey for teachers. The results achieved, showed that although Cuban society takes giant steps in the use of ICTs, its potentialities are not fully exploited in the training processes, reflecting in the indeterminacy of teachers before the distance modality for a technical career, at the same time that recognize the potential of the use of ICT for training processes KEYWORDS: long distance education; Information technology and communications; ubiquity.   [1] Ingeniero en Mecanización Agropecuaria, Máster en: Sistemas de Ingeniería Agrícola.
