I was saying. Good morning, everyone.
We are going to start with the long program
that, you know, scripture has prepared.
So, you know, we need a person
and we have gathered
16, you know, scriptures link to the online
education and decent education from different countries.
These first session
are going to have four is going to have four presentations.
Namely, we have Daniel Burgos with us from the United Paddlers.
They've got a plus
from the state of theater.
This is Daniel Essentials that we have got from the unit.
And you set it up that you are science
was going to present as well
but to a person
a fear she
is not able to be with us today.
But we are going to see a video that you recorded.
We are going to
provide 15 minutes to each speaker
so that we can have 5 minutes at the end
for any question or comment or out
that you may want to ask me at the end.
The main objective of these conferences
to make university build
good universities,
the so the first speaker, as I said, is Daniel Burgos,
which is the director of the chair
of e-learning from the University.
He has a doctorate,
a doctorate in technology.
He is the director
of the E-learning unit, is co-chair at the University for Media.
He's a true pleasure having him here and also
the junior as part of the conference because
this is one of the universities we work with.
And until we have many opportunities to share our knowledge
and what we do.
So I want to thank them for their presence here.
We are supplying universities
in our effort to provide the studies
to people that want to continue studying in an online way.
Thank you very much.
The Middle Eastern portion of Iraq,
if and I know
they're.
Not going to get from the kingdom.
We see what most Syrians are to lose.
When we asked you.
Very much, everyone, good morning.
L.A. A positive first.
Light is going to be the longest one because it is a want
dedicated for thanking the UN and Miguel.
Miguel actually
and they tell me that
we are all they told me that we were only going to be
a couple of people, but it turns out that
there are many
people that I know from Omaha from all my life
or faces people that I respect a lot.
When you said that
we are siblings university, that made me really emotional.
I feel like our university is a young sibling.
We are here to try to do our best.
I want to send a hug to
my colleague Ibarra.
I hope everything is going as best as possible for her
and also and also to have mail to him from the university
because he is getting married today.
If you are seeing these
congratulations,
maybe they're going
to start by trying
to summarize what we do
initially.
But I had my presentation.
Okay, though in order to understand our recurring
situation, this a technical presentation, I want to share
how the chair is organized and a couple of recent examples.
And if you have any question, you can ask it.
This is the current organization that we have for 2024.
We have a government system
for that.
Those are all the yellow monster and everything we are.
We have closed this organization tomorrow.
I have the I know meeting to finalize
all of these details, maybe tomorrow.
Half of the objectives that we have set are completely changed.
You never know.
But we have two main work areas that are connected.
One is the unit research from the directorate
at the researching field
and then on the right path.
We have the research, Innovation and Education or Technology
Institute, and we have these chairs under these umbrella.
And the UNESCO's chair is within the section.
We see many people from different countries.
We work with people within the chair, within the institute
in a cross-sectional way as a base rector.
It was saying in the course sexual way, as education should be,
silos don't work.
They have never worked, but especially now they don't work.
So we have to work in research and education in this way.
We have people from different parts of the world.
We work with Palestine and Colombia,
other in other countries,
and we have enough resources to hire them.
We heard them in.
So we see a variety of names here.
It it's been ten years
since we have hired these chairs, so we are going to have different
projects at the international, European level.
And the most important thing is a versity.
That is what I want to highlight in this slide.
We have contracts with businesses and other projects such as Horizon
or Erasmus Project, but we also have international projects
with, for example, Morocco, Tunisia, South Africa, Canada.
And what we do is to diversify what we do.
Instead of focusing on a niche, we
go about doing different things.
About the list and obviously.
Again
through the internationalization by historic trends.
And we try to
look for external support
with which to present our projects on different
places.
And we have been doing these for the last year.
So we have developed a series of diverse projects.
All of these are European, some of them are not.
I am going to go into detail
about some of them
and what we do is to focus on a small thing
and by doing small things one after the other,
we start building a strategic plan.
For example.
In. The
is this structure that we have
does not depend on the view of the university.
We are part of these projects.
I like to always share them
because if we divide them into themes, we work on e-learning.
We don't want to change that name.
We are still called Learning Chair
Designs.
First, we saw distance education, the distance education topic.
Now we are talking about generative A.I.,
the topic can be adapted.
We have to mix things
in, which is an essential thing in this field.
I believe.
So we have
different well, the last part, the spark,
the aim of all of these projects are the most important above part
we are talking about wellbeing, cybersecurity,
training on AI
in an institutional area,
and we work on the educational philosophy,
but mainly in applicable education or applicable training, and
that is always good for us
because we do not carry out projects
just for the sake of doing it.
We are always talking about exploitation
and we want to see what the impact of this project
is, what are the outcomes, the positive aspects of it.
We are always mixing these so that there is a continuity,
a continuation of these projects
so that we don't have to
fluctuate between the different go for proposals.
We need to keep a leitmotif and for us that is,
that is the sustainable aspect that we want to insert
in all of these projects.
One of the projects that was financed in a different way
is the one from Ecuador, from employability of the
of alumni in Ecuador.
That is a very important topic.
We have the in Colombia, Ecuador,
Miami, in Andorra recently.
In this important.
Millennium.
So it is important for us to have a
staff there
or wait a
that template that we can replicate
in different places.
That is also London.
And then we also work on in
Islamic countries such as Pakistan,
and we provide them with training programs.
We finalized one last week on over education
and training, and then we also
finished a
project focused on a
generative I.
Still look at guitar.
So we have these different projects.
If you want to go into detail on these projects,
you have the necessary links to do so.
This is the specific link For the second, what is the
specific length to see the details of the different projects.
In your commission?
This is very relevant.
The topics, the topics we are working on by Rector.
It designs and a strategy
and the management of projects in a cross-sectional way.
The practical execution is done by the Institute,
which is where the Chair truly is.
We try to achieve these goals
with projects, publishing articles, books.
That is the executive branch.
Within this executive branch, we have a series of topics that we
divide into colors
such as tutoring, support, learning management, system,
education, all tools of an education.
You know how much in gamification.
We work on gamification, the formal and informal learning.
A lot of there's a lot going on on informal learning.
The big question is, are you going to give a budge?
What is the purpose of a badge
if you do not have something behind it?
If there is no true learning behind it,
there are web pages that work on this.
So we either build a program, a system that provides
meaning to this badge, or the budget does
not really mean anything.
So that we can recognize these
competencies is the skills that you can acquire,
not necessarily by being in a university course,
but I
am focusing on the university, of course.
So we work on these things.
So our current situation is that we have work
chairs within the institute that are related to each other.
Somehow
we have had more in the past,
The Institute in UK, in the UK as well
with Netto is a multinational that manages the Olympic Games
at Otterspool world is
the business that the company
that works on that.
In particular can sell almost per game.
But we controlled,
for example, one that we had with a retaining company.
We don't believe that chairs are
forever.
They have a life cycle and if they die, we shouldn't
try to keep them alive because we have achieved that cycle.
We have provided the necessary things that people needed in that cycle.
That is the important thing.
And the same happens with
agreements that governments grow and die
and I am signing the death of certain agreements
if they do not serve a purpose anymore.
We eliminated 20 last year, for example,
and that is how things are many.
It is important for us, for the chair, for the chairs
to be a practical tool, and if it is not working anymore
and we
eliminate it,
we are always
keeping a dialog between the stakeholders of a chair,
and we do that in a way that
allows us to have a good
and positive communication flow so
that we can tackle final users.
We are, for example, working with Alexa, which is the desk
of all the Arab countries, let's say,
and we work with them and provide free courses
for Palestine and Egypt, and we do that for
mutual interests.
In the case of Palestine, for example, is that they are aware
and in what way, what a better way to
to keep it or to keep hope
that by providing education
and training, especially
to for women.
You know, the end.
And then the other thing is that it is positive for us.
We are providing also these
social worries.
So we gain things somehow.
We have four chairs, one on
E learning about data management and analytics.
We are going to change them to artificial intelligence.
That is a trend.
We have one
quality and certification, one on digital society and education
and learning analytics.
They are really good,
but the standards are hard so it is difficult to insert them.
So what are the e-learning standards?
People ask?
And we don't have
a concrete answer because
it is more of a philosophical thing
as of now.
What mean?
Currently we are building a chair
with a squirrel eye
company from China,
which is the biggest personalization company worldwide.
I believe.
And with 15 million users.
In the last year and Brazilian website.
So you get simple what we want this good back
so this lack of content but.
I think I am still doing good on time
the squirrel I trained to do that are going to go to university.
So in China, which is a university
access exams
decision,
this is part of them are
different.
And in China
those processes are very linked to the reputation of the children,
but also the reputation of the families.
It this capacity.
That is the reality.
So what they do
is to build online learning
courses, but also with in-person and online tutoring
so that children of students can get better marks
in order to prepare and their path towards university.
And they work a lot on personalization.
And we are talking about 50 million users.
They apply algorithms, intelligences.
So they are so we are building a chair with a lot of stakeholders,
support agents that you can see here on the left part.
And some years ago it wasn't approved.
And when I ask why,
they told me that
we could only have two.
A cell email, romantic.
Samples or
two candidacies for a tree.
That I must address.
So we are going to try to get that
approval this year. The
marketing
process is
open now, so I believe that we are going to
at least have an explanation on why we were chosen or not.
We are building this chair.
As I was saying, these are the activities that I am
rather less commented on.
So let's focus on examples.
This is one of the things that we do in our chair in collaboration.
When I talk about the chair, I am always
talking about all the stakeholders.
The vice rector.
It is also part of its.
That in a moment.
We are this more so.
If we compare ourselves to that we are very, very small,
but we work hand in hand very closely to
profit from what all of us know.
So with the help of the university, we have these.
If you point
TV dot, you hear about that which has free access levels, free
the free access level by registering
and then register to access.
And this is a distribution
60% of users
access the community in a free way.
Fantastic.
In the particular is when I guess it's a model of sustainability.
This is a sustained sustainability
system because we need to receive
money to keep our work.
We are basically a business, so we have to have a
profitable
system to survive.
And it should be a repository of classes.
Considering we have 40% of a
class is a repository and
as you're just going to access by paying,
we have more than a million
pieces of
training material of education, material.
So 40% mean
a a lot of
training courses or training material in English, Spanish, Portuguese.
Even So the second example, the we have
is the opened
T, which is a repertoire of
public financing courses
such as, for example, an Erasmus project.
We have a project in Larrea house
focused on wine.
In Aguila, and.
This includes it is finalized.
This is our sustainability, our sustainability project.
In Diego, undoubtedly, and the colors are totally worth it, I think also.
And so we leave all of the data, the training material in it
and any student that they want to access the course,
they can do So through this system.
And we are relating contents.
We have.
More than.
66,000 courses on
with different countries and languages.
The second example, and I am going to finish
very soon, we have a
open education game called the Open Game.
The University of Nantes participated in it.
We designed this game to teach
professors and teachers
on basic knowledge
about open science and open educate.
And by playing
you can click on the link and play the game.
It is free and open.
Then we have the open education policy
platform that we designed
and it is available in Spanish and English.
It was a moment where we could
have a dialog
with our equals and
we talked about how to work
towards these open education in a cross sectional way
within universities and we need a structure, a structure
people can change in universities and different
institutions, but if we have
a structure,
these systems are going to
endure and survive over time.
But it's not going to.
We haven't updated it now.
We would have to include the topic
that it is open for use.
All of the signing stakeholders from uni, from the university
participated and then we had 17
revising
stakeholders from different countries.
And this is my this is my contact information.
If you want to contact me. Thank you very much.
