Unifying heterogeneous e-learning modalities in a single platform: CADI, a case study

Research trends in problem‐based learning (PBL) research in e‐learning and online education environments: A review of publications in SSCI‐indexed journals from 2004 to 2012

“…Moreover, the introduction and development of online technologies in higher education bring many challenges for faculty, not only in learning new functionality, but also in deciding how to use tools in pedagogically effective ways (Macdonald & Campbell, ). Many educators in the online learning field adopt an innovative teaching method, problem‐based learning (PBL), and explored its effects in online learning environments (Alamro & Schofiel, ; Cabrera‐Lozoya, Cerdan, Cano, Garcia‐Sanchez & Lujan, ; Tsai, ).…”

“…PBL was introduced at McMaster University in the 1960s (Alamro & Schofiel, 2012), so it is not a new teaching method in education, particularly in medical education. Nevertheless, the importance and effects on students' learning performance of PBL and learning via problem solving in online learning environments has been especially investigated and advocated in recent years (Cabrera-Lozoya et al, 2012;Oldenburg & Hung, 2010;Stewart, MacIntyre, Galea & Steel, 2007). There are many reasons why PBL is successfully applied as a learning method, in both traditional classrooms and online learning environments (Baturay & Bay, 2010;Tsai, 2011b).…”

A policy-driven architecture for supporting joint degrees through e-learning services

“…Mobile learning (mLearning) is perhaps the form of e-learning that is attracting most research activity. It introduces the use of mobile devices into the learning process and takes advantage of the many benefits they bring in terms of, e.g., ubiquitous connectivity or flexible learning hours [24]. Regardless of the e-learning form chosen, it must meet minimum quality criteria to ensure a successful learning process.…”

Contribución al desarrollo y evaluación experimental de soluciones y servicios telemáticos innovadores

“…El uso de metodologías basadas en las TIC mejora la motivación y el rendimiento de los estudiantes. Los estudiantes son receptivos a la incorporación de las TIC en su aprendizaje [35], pero esto podría ser un arma de doble filo, ya que, dentro de unos años, cuando estas tecnologías ya no son nuevas, podrían dejar de ser útiles para la enseñanza. Así, el concepto clave de MOTIVA es que la introducción de las TIC en el aula va mucho más allá de colocar a los alumnos frente a una pantalla, para ver una actividad o animación interactiva.…”
