This process involved a literature review, analysis of MOOC characteristics, evaluation of educational platforms, identification of new trends in distance learning, and synthesis of the project requirements. The research focuses on validating a MOOC course model tailored to higher education students, tested during the academic years 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 by a multidisciplinary team of professors from a Portuguese higher education institution, with the participation of students from both Portuguese and Brazilian higher education institutions. The results lay the groundwork for the next stages of the project, fostering more interactive and collaborative learning environments.
- D-SELI: Propuesta de una Red Blockchain Educativa Distribuida con IPFSPublication . Der Boghosian, Reyna; Motz, ReginaEn los últimos años, ha habido un aumento en el uso de redes blockchain en el ámbito educativo, con proyectos como SELI (Smart Ecosystem for Learning and Inclusion) que han desarrollado redes blockchain para el intercambio de certificados y recursos educativos. Sin embargo, una limitación en el uso de redes blockchain es el espacio de almacenamiento, ya que todas las transacciones se almacenan en cada nodo de la red, lo que puede generar problemas de espacio y accesibilidad en redes blockchain centralizadas. Para abordar esta problemática, se propone en este artículo una modificación de la red blockchain educativa SELI mediante la utilización del protocolo Interdisciplinary File System (IPFS) en una red blockchain totalmente distribuida, denominada D-SELI. La propuesta de D-SELI busca solucionar la limitación de espacio de almacenamiento y accesibilidad en redes blockchain mediante la incorporación del protocolo IPFS. El IPFS es un sistema de archivos distribuidos que utiliza una red peer-to-peer para almacenar y compartir contenido de manera descentralizada, lo que permite superar los problemas de almacenamiento en una red blockchain. La implementación de IPFS en D-SELI permite que los recursos educativos y certificados sean almacenados de forma descentralizada, eliminando la necesidad de almacenar todas las transacciones en cada nodo de la red, lo que reduce la carga de almacenamiento en los nodos y mejora la accesibilidad a los datos. Además, al ser una red completamente distribuida, se superan los problemas de ubicación de los datos presentes en redes blockchain centralizadas. En resumen, este artículo presenta una propuesta de modificación de la red blockchain educativa SELI mediante la utilización del protocolo IPFS en una red completamente distribuida (D-SELI) con el objetivo de solucionar la limitación de espacio de almacenamiento y accesibilidad en redes blockchain, mejorando así la eficiencia y escalabilidad de la red en el ámbito educativo.

- Perceção do portefólio multimodal como estratégia pedagógica na aprendizagem da escrita em contexto digitalPublication . Baptista, Dina; Pereira, Hawayla; Toledo, IsabelaA aprendizagem ativa é cada vez mais um dos pilares fundamentais do processo de ensino-aprendizagem no ensino superior. Nesta, o professor atua como um facilitador do processo de aprendizagem do qual o estudante passa a ser protagonista e corresponsável pela sua própria aprendizagem. Das várias estratégias possíveis da aprendizagem ativa, o portefólio assume-se, por um lado, como instrumento facilitador da construção do conhecimento e do desenvolvimento de competências fundamentais, como a autonomia ou a criatividade e, por outro lado, como estratégia de aprendizagem ativa e participativa, que favorece a autoavaliação e a reflexão sobre o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Através de um processo de (re)construção do conhecimento, que exige um trabalho reflexivo contínuo de interação entre docente e discente, o recurso ao portefólio também privilegia a autorregulação da aprendizagem, através de uma tomada de consciência gradual da aprendizagem por parte do estudante. Este trabalho apresenta uma reflexão sobre a estratégia pedagógica do portefólio individual, no sentido de compreender de que forma é que este favorece a aprendizagem da escrita em contexto digital o desenvolvimento de competências transversais, cada vez mais valorizadas pelas entidades empregadoras. Pretende-se analisar a perceção dos estudantes a respeito do processo de construção do portefólio, na unidade curricular de Escrita para Internet, integrada no mestrado em Marketing e Comunicação digital, ministrada na Universidade de Aveiro (Portugal). Depois de uma breve reflexão sobre estratégias de aprendizagem ativa, com particular enfoque no portefólio como estratégia focada na autorreflexão e no processo de aprendizagem, analisam-se os resultados de um inquérito por questionário, através do Software SPSS, aplicado aos estudantes da unidade curricular em análise, para avaliar a estratégia pedagógica aplicada. Por fim, tendo por base os resultados obtidos identificam-se potenciais constrangimentos e estratégias de melhoria para trabalhos futuros.

- The use of 5.0 Technologies to foster the development of skills in accounting – The case of the Model of Simulator of Business EnvironmentPublication . Bastos, Susana; Oliveira, Laurindo; Azevedo, Liliana; Kiss, GáborThis article aims to address technical, transversal and digital competences and their development in the context of accounting. The development of artificial intelligence and digitalization technologies has significantly changed the world. Higher education institutions are not yet prepared for this reality. They must find a way to equip their teachers with digital skills in the first instance, and then move on to make changes to the course curriculum to adapt the content to 5.0 technology. At Porto Accounting and Business School of Porto Polytechnic, these technologies have been implemented in a pivotal environment called the Model of Simulator of Business Environment. This model includes two curricular units that are part of the final year of the degree course in accounting and administration, Business Simulation Project I and II. This model is characterised as an active methodology in the teaching and learning process. Students are at the centre of this process and responsibility for their learning lies with them. Technical, transversal and digital accounting skills are the basis for building this model. This article presents the competences worked on to prepare students for the labour market. A set of activities proposed to the students in the working sessions is presented, with an explanation of the competences that are intended to be powered. The theoretical basis and the experience of more than 20 years working with this Model leads us to reflect on its future. This future includes the introduction of AI and tools that bring digitalisation in its true sense.
