Towards a Method to Create Microlearning Capsules: Bullying and Cyberbullying Domain
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022) Cedillo Orellana, Irene Priscila; Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia; Peña Contreras, Eva Karina; Cárdenas Delgado, Paúl Esteban; Sánchez Zhunio, Bertha Cristina; Valdez Solis, Wilson Fernando
The development of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) has become widespread due to the technology development and the COVID-19 pandemic; consequently, internet use has increased and impacted different social areas, like communication, education, and the way people relate. Therefore, increasing the cases of bullying and cyberbullying in children and teenagers. In addition, instructional tools, such as microlearning, have emerged in education, allowing for compressing and massifying educational content from different areas of knowledge. This tool aims to reduce learning time and can be deployed on any platform without using traditional means of learning. This paper presents an overview of a method for creating learning capsules in the domain of bullying and cyberbullying named LeCCMe. This method is based on the ADDIE instructional model and incorporates a diffusion phase to reach the largest possible population. Finally, a case study is presented, in which a learning capsule has been created to prevent bullying and cyberbullying
A data quality model for AAL systems
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020, 2020) Erazo Garzón, Lenin Xavier; Erráez Jumbo, Jean Gabriel; Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia; Cedillo Orellana, Irene Priscila
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) aims to improve the quality of life of people, supporting them in their daily activities by the use of information technologies. The AAL systems are preferably focused on vulnerable groups (e.g., elderly people, people with special needs, children, patients with chronic diseases) to increase their independence in their natural living environment. These systems work in real time and their correct operation depends on the inferred knowledge of the data collected from sensors or other sources, thus the assurance of the quality of data is a priority aspect, especially in those systems that can put in risk the life of people. Currently, the research in this line is limited, there are not data quality models with a complete set of attributes and metrics adjusted to the AAL domain. This work proposes a data quality model for AAL systems conformed by the following characteristics: accuracy, completeness, currentness, confidentiality, accessibility, understandability and compliance; and their corresponding metrics. Finally, the application of the model to an intelligent pillbox, showed that it is a complete and valuable tool to evaluate the degree to which the quality of data is reached and preserved by an AAL system.
Learning analytics, dashboard for academic trajectory
(CEUR-WSceurws@sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de, 2019) Peña Ortega, Mario Patricio; Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia; Bravo Guerrero, Fabián Eugenio
© 2019 CEUR-WS. All rights reserved. In the context of university academic management, several proposals have been developed for the study of analysis and visualization of learning trajectories. Bearing in mind that the educational trajectory is the trajectory of the student traveled at a given time from entry to the end of the stay, it can be considered that the use of technology could extract or highlight relevant information that is not seen directly with the tools traditional The visualization of data in educational environments has become a challenge due to the large amounts of information available. The responsibilities of educational administrators require a clear visual proposal adapted to queries based on an academic context. Therefore, it was proposed to generate a tool that generates dashboard based on relevant variables of the students. To do this, the proposal began with a review of the literature that helped analyze the different ways of visualizing the data of academic trajectories. Subsequently, a dynamic visualization was formulated to explain the teachers and authorities through the learning analysis panel, based on the use of parallel coordinates that present multidimensional data over time. The sample was constituted by records of 1975 students of an Ecuadorian university, of the cohort that began in March 2013, distributed by faculties and careers. The technique used allowed us to discover trends and relationships between dimensions, improving the understanding of the trajectory patterns of students, the trends of school dropout, either increase or decrease performance, among other relationships. The consultations allowed to filter data by variables such as: faculties, careers, students and intervals of scores. Finally, the validation of the proposal was made based on the relevance of the dashboard, in response to the inquiries of the academic manager.
Aplicación e impacto de las tics en la enseñanza de las matemáticas: una revisión sistemática
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2018) Guachún Lucero, Freddy Patricio; Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia
This research sought, collected and systematized information on empirical studies of the Tics applied to the teaching of mathematics. The systematic review method was used; the units of study were the master thesis published nationwide, which could be accessed through the COBUEC digital repository; Of the 765 studies found, based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 28 were selected for study where the state of the art, impact, contributions and limitations were determined. The research allowed to demonstrate the scarce information on this subject, most of the master's thesis are methodological proposals or didactic guides but do not perform empirical intervention. Geogebra software is the most used and the most addressed topics are linear function and linear equations in higher education. All the studies analyzed generate contributions helping to improve motivational, attitudinal and academic aspects.
Gráficas de trayectorias escolares de estudiantes de bachillerato
(2021) Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia; Bravo Guerrero, Fabián Eugenio; Peña Ortega, Mario Patricio; Bojorque Pazmiño, Miriam Eliana
For school authorities it is important to know how the students of the institution are progressing in their studies, because in this way they can detect any type of difficulties that arise, however, that information is not always known in time. The objective of this research is to propose a methodology that allows to visualize school trajectories of the students and in this way identify the difficulties that students have in mathematics. To show the potential of the methodology, high school students from an Ecuadorian educational institution were investigated between 2015 and 2019, their grades were processed and graphs of school trajectories were generated, which present the evolution of their grades during the school period. Through this methodology, the identification of individual trajectories of low performance is facilitated, in addition, it was found that collaborative activities have higher scores than individual ones, performance differences between courses were also evidenced. The presentation of grades through graphs is a powerful tool for academic management since it facilitates the detection of difficulties and the making of timely decisions.
Quality assessment approaches for ambient assisted living systems: a systematic review
(Springer, 2020) Erazo Garzón, Lenin Xavier; Erráez Jumbo, Jean Gabriel; Cedillo Orellana, Irene Priscila; Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) aims to improve people’s quality of life through the use of information technologies. Due to the critical nature of AAL systems, quality is a priority. However, as AAL is a relatively new domain, its main limitation is the lack of consensus and standardization in quality assessment. This work presents a systematic review to determine the state of the art on the quality assessment of AAL systems from a multidimensional vision (software product, in use, data and context). Initially, 1308 primary studies were extracted, from them 21 relevant studies related to models, frameworks, taxonomies and other approaches of quality assessment were selected after applying the corresponding inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected studies were subject to a comparative analysis that determined the most recurrent and critical quality attributes for AAL systems, being an important contribution to generate consensus in the construction of more complete quality models. Furthermore, this work allowed to recognize the strengths and limitations of the quality proposals studied and to identify research gaps and challenges. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
Metodological proposal for trajectory analysis. Case study
(Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL), Ecuador, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile, 2018) Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia; Peña Ortega, Mario Patricio; Bravo Guerrero, Fabián Eugenio; Larriva González, Silvana Fabiola
For university academic management in general, it is always important to clear-ly know the average time a student needs to complete the credits established in the curriculum. There are several methods to capture academic information and most of them are based on qualification records, access to virtual platforms, as-sistance, etc. Based on the architecture of learning analysis proposed by the au-thors, we specifically worked on a methodology that would allow measuring the academic trajectory using variables such as: number of credits per semester, grades, approvals and number of enrollments. Information from a 2013 cohort of two university careers was used as a reference. The result of the methodolo-gy allowed graphing the behavior and generating a detailed analysis of the aca-demic trajectory. The methodological proposal can be generalized for other ca-reers provided that the analysis of the results is contextualized to the behavior of the nature of the training area.
Reprobación y abandono de estudiantes universitarios
(2020) Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia; Bravo Guerrero, Fabián Eugenio; Peña Ortega, Mario Patricio
Studies show that in higher education institutions, students experience difficulties during the course of their studies, failing some subjects and in other cases, withdrawing from university. Knowing this reality can lead the authorities to make academic decisions to face this problem and improve terminal efficiency, which is an important indicator for institutional accreditation. The objective of this study was to determine the failure and dropout rates of the students of the different faculties, and at what point in the studies these rates are higher. The research was carried out on 1900 students from the University of Cuenca, Ecuador, a cohort that began their studies in March 2013, and a longitudinal follow-up was carried out until July 2018, using the documentary research technique, for which the academic databases owned by the university. It was found that both repetition and dropout rates are higher in the first semesters of study in all faculties, and that Medical Sciences and Architecture have low rates of loss of subjects and dropout of their students, while some faculties from the Social Sciences area they have high rates of failure and desertion. It is important to know these indicators for each faculty and at all times in the students' trajectory, so that the authorities make decisions that allow improving the academic offer.
Microlearning Method for Building Learning Capsules for Older Adults
(Science and Technology Publications, Lda, 2021) Bermeo Arpi, Alexandra Elizabeth; Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia; Cedillo Orellana, Irene Priscila; Gómez Jaramillo, Daniel Eduardo; Prado Cabrera, Katerine Daniela
Education is a universal process that acts on human beings throughout their existence, including their aging stage. In this sense, older adults can learn, communicate, and exchange information through technological applications. However, learning platforms often do not address the specific requirements and special needs of older people. Therefore, it is necessary to have methods and tools that allow the creation of software artifacts, so this sector of the population can acquire new knowledge according to its learning needs. Given these considerations, this document proposes a method for creating learning capsules in the field of microlearning, taking into account accessibility criteria and andragogic techniques that support the learning process of the older adult; it also considers a diffusion plan for apprentices to know and access structured micro-contents. Besides, to show this proposal's use, the step-by-step of creating a learning capsule to be used by older adults is presented.

(Springer Nature, 2021) Morocho Zurita, Carlos Villie; Cárdenas, Paola; Illescas Peña, Lourdes Eugenia; Maza Cordova, Jorge; Achig Balarezo, Rosario
The application “Disaster Risk Management Guide” for interactive Digital Terrestrial Television (iDTT), has been implemented based on the design that considers Learning Objects (LO) adapted to iDTT, where the receiving medium is the television and the main element of interaction is the remote control. The contents were worked on in coordination with the National Service for Risk and Emergency Management (SNGRE by its acronym in Spanish) of Ecuador, an organization that was also in charge of the validation. The implementation process, tests and improvements of the application are detailed, which includes three Learning Objects (LO) and a section with geographic information on emergency alerts in real time, obtained from a map server. Each LO addresses informational and educational topics, as well as a self-assessment for the viewer. The methodology for software development has been incremental, based on constant deliveries and progressive advances. The application has been developed in the Ginga NCL (Nested Context Language)-LUA programming language, and the tests have been carried out in two environments: 1) simulation with Ginga-NCL emulators and 2) using the Set Top Box (STB) EiTV Smartbox receiver equipment. The tests mainly detail the processes carried out to identify the audio and video formats supported in the two environments, the most appropriate options for integrating text in the interfaces, and the solution of problems encountered during the process. Finally, a usability analysis of the application is included with tests carried out in different age groups
