It is presented a conceptual model that aligns Learning Outcomes (LO) in Engineering Education (EE) with assessment strategies based on e-learning. The research problem was made taking into account three areas of research: Assessment, Engineering Education and e-Learning. The work managed to verify to what extent e-assessment methods may be used to measure intended Learning Outcomes of Engineering courses. The ...
The main objectives of VIRQUAL are to help educational and training institutions to (a) achieve Virtual Mobility, and (b) guarantee EQF implementation through eLearning. VIRQUAL promotes cooperation and joint work among partner organisations and links with related initiatives. Since summer 2010 the consortium has concentrated in three tasks including the preparation of webinars that will take place in during 20...
Europe has been investing in developing and implementing policies and tools to promote trans-European cooperation and mobility in many fields, including in Education. The Bologna Process is creating a European Higher Education Area where mobility, transparency and competitiveness are key concepts. The recent formal adoption of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) was an additional and important step to a...
This article proposes a methodology for benchmarking learning objects. It aims to deal with two problems related to e-learning: the validation of learning using this method and the return on investment of the process of development and use: effectiveness and efficiency. This paper describes a proposal for evaluating learning objects (LOs) through benchmarking, based on the Learning Object Metadata Standard and ...
In Higher and Continuing Education, the use of eLearning methodologies is becoming a common resource. At this point, we have probably passed a first stage of eLearning implementation - experimentation. After a first stage where pilot projects were implemented and strategies were defined, we come to a phase where eLearning implementation is more mature. It should now be possible to find consistent examples of th...
In the Information Society, the term eLearning is widely used, when referring to the application of ICT to Education. This term, when analysed in a simplistic way, means "electronic learning" or learning using electronic media. However, the definition proposed by the eLearning Initiative of the European Commission, includes deeper and more complex concepts: "The use of new multimedia technologies and the Inter...
