- Gamification in MOOCs: Engagement application test in energy sustainability courses(IEEE, 2019-03-05) Romero-Rodriguez, Luis M.; Ramirez-Montoya, Maria Soledad; Valenzuela González, Jaime Ricardo; Tecnologico de MonterreyMassive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have triggered a sudden change in the educational scene. Its characteristics of being free, heterogeneous, multi-thematic, and fostering lifelong learning have completely changed the instructional design scene, allowing these innovations and new architectures of teaching and learning to be included. However, MOOCs have been criticized by the scientific community for their high dropout rates and low overall completion rates, which has called into question their effectiveness as a pedagogical tool. This study analyzes how the application of gamification strategies in MOOCs on energy sustainability affects participants’ engagement and seeks to identify what types of interactive gamification media are more useful in generating interest and motivation in students. In order to do so, a mixed quasi-experimental method is used. A gamification board with challenges, badges, and leaderboards to a sample is used, and at the same time, this platform is analyzed using the Integrated Theoretical Gamification Model in e-Learning Environments (E-MIGA). In the MOOCs where gamification strategies were applied, a global completion rate of 14.43% was obtained, while in those without gamification, 6.162% was obtained. Likewise, the degree of student engagement with respect to the completion rate of activities was much higher in the gamified platform (28.032%) than in the traditional design (13.252%). The results show that applying gamification strategies in MOOCs achieves a higher level of engagement and student motivation.
- Innovative Education in MOOC for Sustainability: Learnings and Motivations(2018-08-23) Carrera, Jeimmy; Ramírez-Hernández, DarinkaThis research project analyzes the motivation and learning perceived by the participants in four Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) that use innovative education strategies in order to train the community in Education for Sustainability. These MOOCs were delivered during 2017 and the study forms part of the subproject “Open, Interdisciplinary and Collaborative Innovation to Train in Energy Sustainability through MOOCs”, which was offered in the portal of the Binational Laboratory for Intelligent Energy Sustainability Management and Technology Training. The method utilized was mixed, with a triangulation design approach according to the convergence model. This method consisted of two phases: the first being quantitative, with an online survey designed by experts in a Likert type scale, and the second being qualitative, in which valuations of the users were collected through diverse instruments such as focus groups and observations. The results obtained demonstrate the advantages of designing MOOCs that make use of innovative tools, in order to engage the students as much as possible, and the collateral impact on the development of digital abilities and skills in addition to the learning acquired with respect to sustainability.
- Conexión de aprendizajes con recursos abiertos en un MOOC:(Instituto de Investigaciones en Educación, Universidad Veracruzana, 2017-07) Guerrero Segovia, Mónica Y.; Glasserman Morales, Leonardo D.; Ramírez Montoya, María S.; Tecnologico de MonterreyEl escenario de esta investigación fue un curso masivo abierto en línea (MOOC) desarrollado por una institución de educación superior en México. El propósito fue analizar la relación del uso de las tecnologías de acceso abierto con el proceso de percepción de los participantes para conectar sus aprendizajes, con la finalidad de contribuir en la innovación de prácticas educativas en ambientes de educación a distancia. Los datos fueron estudiados desde una metodología mixta desarrollando un plan de acción de tipo convergente paralelo. Los resultados destacan que la interactividad de los participantes en las redes de conocimiento, conjuntamente con la adopción de estrategias de búsqueda para la selección de información relevante, son determinantes para facilitar la conexión de los aprendizajes. Se pretende que este estudio aporte directrices instruccionales en la implementación de ambientes virtuales de aprendizaje.
