“…La colaboración formal entre los estudiantes de arte y ciencias de la computación no es nueva (PARKER, 2004). Los proyectos multimedia conjuntos permiten desarrollar competencias transversales necesarias para la confección de aplicaciones reales en un entorno de trabajo lo más parecido al mundo real (CASTRO, 2018). Es más, el arte se puede llegar a emplear para introducir técnicas de computación a estudiantes en un contexto artístico (WOOD, 2016) como forma de facilitar su aprendizaje.…”

Se han establecido grupos de trabajo multidisciplina-res para desarrollar videojuegos que han implicado a dos asignaturas de la Facultad de BB.AA. y a otras dos de la Escuela de Ingeniería Informática. Los equipos han seguido la misma metodología que se sigue en las empresas de desarrollo de videojuegos. Han utilizado aplicaciones en línea para editar los documentos de diseño de forma colaborativa, compartido código y otros documentos mediante GitHub, se han coordinado empleando redes sociales, han empleado herramientas de autor y de programación de última generación, junto con entornos profesionales de desarrollo de videojuegos. Se han empleado metodologías ágiles para el desarrollo de videojuegos y se han mantenido reuniones de control del progreso a lo largo de todo el cuatrimestre. A pesar de que muchos alumnos no habían recibido docencia previa en videojuegos ni en la herramienta empleada en la asignatura, los resultados han sido muy satisfactorios. La nota media de cada especialidad ha estado cercana a los 8 puntos. Los alumnos han valorado positivamente el ritmo seguido y las sesiones de seguimiento, la metodología empleada, la libertad de elección de temas, el poder trabajar con alumnos de otras disciplinas y la calidad de los resultados.

A Systematic Review of Deep Learning Approaches to Educational Data Mining

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Educational Data Mining (EDM) is a research field that focuses on the application of data mining, machine learning, and statistical methods to detect patterns in large collections of educational data. Different machine learning techniques have been applied in this field over the years, but it has been recently that Deep Learning has gained increasing attention in the educational domain. Deep Learning is a machine learning method based on neural network architectures with multiple layers of processing units, which has been successfully applied to a broad set of problems in the areas of image recognition and natural language processing. This paper surveys the research carried out in Deep Learning techniques applied to EDM, from its origins to the present day. The main goals of this study are to identify the EDM tasks that have benefited from Deep Learning and those that are pending to be explored, to describe the main datasets used, to provide an overview of the key concepts, main architectures, and configurations of Deep Learning and its applications to EDM, and to discuss current state-of-the-art and future directions on this area of research.

Curricula Design & Pedagogy for Sketching Within HCI & UX Education

Sketching is recognised as an important tool in the journey of research and practical processes of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and User Experience Design (UX). However, it is not always included in higher education curriculum, in which HCI and UX is often a single module in one year group amongst more “traditional” approaches in computer science. The benefits of sketching and visualisation practice can be used by students across the board in computing degrees, but especially so within HCI and UX, where novel approaches and ideation are valued and practiced. By the time learners leave higher education, they may or may not have engaged with this valuable skill. HCI has a lot in common with UX, and the two are commonly conflated to be the same thing, though despite this, there is not a focus on practical sketching and visualisation skills. In comparison, within the UX workplace environment, sketching is part of design thinking and vital for the structuring of ideas, storyboards, user journey maps and more. We focus on the incorporation and exploration of sketching as an educational tool, technique and output within HCI, and how this learning is given and received over a number of contexts. This paper outlines case studies where sketching has been included in both formal and informal learning with both undergraduate, postgraduate, and post education populations, and how this knowledge exchange has been both enhanced and changed by the recent compulsory move to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss practice and learning in the context of four case studies: Data-Sketching in a First Year Minor; Sketching in a 2nd Year HCI Cohort; Sketching as a Foundational Tool for MSc User Experience Design; and, Sketching in HCI for Peer-to-Peer Learning. Further, we make recommendations for incorporating sketching practice and theory into both undergraduate and postgraduate university programs, as well as for peer-to-peer learning in both public and private contexts.
