(The Open University, 2023-05-24) Farías Gaytán, Silvia Catalina; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Aguaded Gomez, Jose Ignacio; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/03a1kt624
The dynamics of change in the work environment are becoming more dizzying, given that adopting new technologies generates new knowledge and jobs. This research analyzed a case study of a Mexican university implementing alternative credentials. The method was instrumental case study research, with exploratory and descriptive categories, applying three instruments: documentary analysis of alternative credential programs, a questionnaire, and interviews with the experts involved in designing and delivering alternative credentials. In this case, the implementation of alternative credentials coincided with the reference frameworks of the European Union and the province of Ontario, Canada. Their frameworks mention the vision and institutional mission of alternative credentialing for the value offered, its definition, operation, award processes, accreditation, and quality. The case provides data for interested higher education institutions, such as why to do it, the strategy to follow, the added value offered, the elements that define it and its design, the assessment process and assignment, the timing of accreditation, and where it is recognized. This research contributes recommendations for defining and managing alternative credentials to serve as a reference for other universities interested in incorporating technology-supported educational innovations.
Impelling research productivity and impact through collaboration: a scientometric case study of knowledge management
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2017-07-11) Ceballos, Hector G.; Fangmeyer Jr, James Andrew; Galeano Sánchez, Nathalíe M.; Juarez, Erika; Cantú Ortíz, Francisco J.; Tecnologico de Monterrey
A case study for impelling university research productivity and impact through collaboration is presented. Scientometric results support the hypothesis that a knowledge management model increased research collaboration and thereby boosted a university’s number of publications and citations. Results come from fifteen years of data at a Mexican university with 2400 researchers who produced 24,000 works in fifteen research disciplines. These data are treated with social network visualizations and algorithms to identify patterns of collaboration and clustering, as well as with normalizations to make disciplines comparable and to verify increasing citation impact. The knowledge management model implemented in the study may be a costeffective way for universities to intensify collaboration and improve research performance.
