This article describes an ongoing study that, ultimately, aims to help students become co-creators of their courses. It discusses methodologies to support student empowerment and engagement. It uses the Learner Centric Ecology of Resources perspective (Luckin 2006) to explore the experiences of teachers and students from two different universities as they participated in co-design processes for selecting digital resources during the design of the courses. The data presented in the study was collected during the design workshops with the participation of teachers and students. The Ecology of Resources Design Framework was identified by the participants as a good facilitator during the co-design process. However, time seems to be a critical factor. A sustained dialogue over time is required to generate the context of trust needed between students and teachers and to explore the different levels of expertise.
La definición de las características de un espacio de aprendizaje nos sitúa frente a la existencia de tres dimensiones de análisis clave para su diseño conceptual: la dimensión ambiental, la dimensión pedagógica y la dimensión digital (Bautista y Borges, 2013). El artículo muestra los resultados de una investigación que tiene por objetivo analizar los conocimientos, preferencias, percepciones y necesidades del profesorado respecto a la configuración del aula como espacio de aprendizaje, concretamente en relación a la dimensión digital. Para ello se realizó un estudio cuantitativo mediante el método de encuesta a una muestra de 847 docentes de educación infantil, primaria y secundaria. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que los docentes perciben que la dimensión digital debería ser uno de los elementos clave para plantear nuevos espacios de aprendizaje en las escuelas. The definition of the characteristics of a learning space places us before the existence of three dimensions of key analysis for its conceptual design, the environmental dimension, the pedagogical dimension and the digital dimension (Bautista and Borges, 2013). The article shows the results of a research that aims to know the knowledge, preferences, perceptions and needs of teachers regarding the configuration of the classroom as a learning space, specifically in relation to the digital dimension. To do this, a quantitative study was carried out using the survey method of a sample of 847 preschool, primary and secondary education teachers. The results obtained show that teachers identify the digital dimension and consider that this should be one of the key elements to propose new learning spaces in schools.
ResumenVivimos en una sociedad digital que está en constante desarrollo tecnológico. La alta frecuencia de conexión que tienen los jóvenes en Internet ha provocado que en determinadas ocasiones se atribuya a esta generación un alto empoderamiento digital. Recientes estudios demuestran que no por conectarse habitualmente en Internet implica poseer altas competencias digitales (Kennedy, 2008(Kennedy, , 2010 Gros, García y Escofet, 2012). Por este motivo, para realizar un buen diseño educativo a través del uso de tecnología emergente, resulta necesario analizar las prácticas en la red de los universitarios. La investigación que se presenta pone en el punto de mira la voz del estudiante y su participación digital. El objetivo principal es analizar las prácticas socioculturales y los espacios digitales de participación en la red, en cualquier contexto, donde la tecnología puede actuar como mediadora del aprendizaje. La metodología se basa en la aplicación de un cuestionario elaborado para medir el perfil de participación en la red en distintos contextos (académicos, profesionales y personales). Ha sido respondido por 368 estudiantes de la Universitat de Barcelona y la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. Los resultados señalan una heterogeneidad de los perfiles de participación en la red de los estudiantes universitarios.

A high level of participation of young people in Internet has induced us to assume that young people have high digital skills. Recent studies show us that high Internet connection does not mean having high digital skills (Kennedy, 2008(Kennedy, , 2010Gros, Garcia and Escofet, 2012). For this reason, in order to create a good educational design through the use of emerging technology, it is necessary to analyze the practices of university network. The following research puts the voice of the students and their digital participation in the spotlight. The main goal of this research is to analyze practices and digital spaces of participation in the network, where the technology acts as an intermediary for university student learning. The methodology used is based on a questionnaire designed to measure the profile of participation in the network, in different contexts (academic, professional and personal). 368 students from the Universitat de Barcelona and Universitat Oberta de Catalunya answered it. The results indicate students have heterogeneous profiles of participation in the network.
