Adapting remote labs to learning scenarios: case studies using VISIR and RemotE...
Fidalgo, André V.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Marques, Maria A.; Viegas, C.; Costa-Lobo, Cristina; Henandez-Jayo, Unai; Garcia-Zúbia, Javier; Gustavsson, IngvarRemote laboratories are an emergent technological and pedagogical tool at all education levels, and their widespread use is an important part of their own improvement and evolution. This paper describes several issues encountered on laboratorial classes, on higher education courses, when using remote laboratories based on PXI systems, either using the VISIR system or an alternate in-house solution. Three main i...
Surveillance of environmental fungi, with focus on Aspergillus, in a Portuguese...
Sabino, Raquel; Viegas, C.; Veríssimo, C.; Martins, C.; Clemons, K.V.; Stevens, D.A.Objectives: Because immunocompromised patients are more prone to acquire nosocomial infections caused by fungi isolated from the environment, e.g. Aspergillus, this study aimed to screen the hospital environment for the presence of fungi and to understand their epidemiology in the different hospital wards analyzed. Methods: During one-year period, four seasonal samplings, i.e., air and hard surface, were perfo...
Contribuição para o controlo da infeção nosocomial de Candida parapsilosis por ...
Sabino, R.; Sampaio, P.; Viegas, C.; Veríssimo, C.; Pais, C.Fungal infections constitute a relevant problem in hospitals from all over the world. Their easy transmission through the air, water, or by direct or indirect contact with contaminated persons, surfaces or objects lead to an increasing preoccupation with those infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Regarding the enormous importance of Candida parapsilosis as agent of bloodstream infections and ...
Using the TRAILER tool for managing informal learning in academic and professio...
Viegas, C.; Marques, Maria A.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Galanis, Nikolas; Brouns, Francis; Janssen, José; Waszkiewicz, Elwira; Mykowska, AleksandraInformal Learning plays an important role in everyone's life and yet we often are unaware of it. The need to keep track of the knowledge acquired through informal learning is increasing as its sources become increasingly diverse. This paper presents a study on a tool developed to help keeping track of learners' informal learning, both within academic and professional contexts, This tool, developed within the Eu...
Managing informal learning in engineering contexts: the learners' perspective
Viegas, C.; Marques, Maria A.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Galanis, Nikolas; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.According to recent studies, informal learning accounts for more than 75% of our continuous learning through life. However, the awareness of this learning, its benefits and its potential is still not very clear. In engineering contexts, informal learning could play an invaluable role helping students or employees to engage with peers and also with more experience colleagues, exchanging ideas and discussing prob...
Impact of different moodle course designs on students? Performance
Alves, Gustavo R.; Viegas, C.; Marques, Maria A.; Costa-Lobo, Cristina; Silva, António A.; Formanski, Francieli; Silva, Juarez Bento daThis work describes the impact of different teachers’ approaches in using Moodle, for supporting their courses, at the Polytechnic of Porto - School of Engineering. The study covers five different courses, from different degrees and different years, and includes a number of Moodle resources especially supporting laboratory classes. These and other active resources are particularly analyzed in order to evaluate ...
Managing Informal Learning in professional contexts: the learner’s perspective
Marques, Maria A.; Viegas, C.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Zangrando, Valentina; Galanis, Nikolas; Janssen, José; Waszkiewicz, ElwiraInformal Learning is present in everyone's life but its awareness only recently has been reported. The need to keep track of the knowledge acquired this way is increasing as its sources diversity also increases. This work presents the pilots trials on the use of a tool developed to help keeping track of the learners’ informal learning, within a number of companies spread out in three countries. This tool develo...
TRAILER – e-Portfolio for collecting and recognizing informal learning process ...
Mykowska, Aleksandra; Waszkiewicz, Elwira; Marques, Maria A.; Viegas, C.; Alves, Gustavo R.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Zangrando, ValentinaInformal learning is becoming more and more important: Nowadays people learn more this way, through the Internet, than in schools or normal trainings. But they don’t get any certificateswhich attest this fact. So they can't show the employer or teacher etc. that they have learned something. TRAILER project aim is to solve this problem by developing a special tool for managing of all competences and skills acqu...
A tool to aid institutions recognize their employees competences acquired by in...
García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Zangrando, Valentina; García-Holgado, Alicia; Conde-González, Miguel Ángel; Seoane-Pardo, António-M.; Alier, MarcPeople do not learn only in formal educational institutions, but also throughout their lives, from their experiences, conversations, observations of others, exploration of the Internet, meetings and conferences, and chance encounters etc. However this informal and non-formal learning can easily remain largely invisible, making it hard for peers and employers to recognize or act upon it. The TRAILER project aims...
Design and characterization of a biodegradable double-layer scaffold aimed at p...
Requicha, J. F.; Viegas, C. A. A.; Hede, Shantesh; Leonor, I. B.; Reis, R. L.; Gomes, Manuela E.The inefficacy of the currently used therapies in achieving the regeneration ad integrum of the periodontium stimulates the search for alternative approaches, such as tissue-engineering strategies. Therefore, the core objective of this study was to develop a biodegradable double-layer scaffold for periodontal tissue engineering. The design philosophy was based on a double-layered construct obtained from a blend...
