- A personalized assistance system for the location and efficient evacuation in case of emergency: TECuidamos, a challenge-based learning derived project designed to save lives(MDPI, 2022-04-20) López Caudana, Edgar Omar; Ruiz Loza, Sergio; Calixto González, Aarón; Nájera Jiménez, Brandon; Castro, Diego; Romero, Diego; Luna, José; Vargas, Vincent; Legorreta González, Iván; Lara Prieto, Vianney; Caratozzolo Martelliti, Patricia Olga; Membrillo Hernández, Jorge; LOPEZ CAUDANA, EDGAR OMAR; 69726; https://ror.org/03ayjn504The uncertainty of the occurrence of a disaster is greater in places such as Mexico City, a city with one of the largest seismic activities in the world. This leads to a growing need for the population to be better educated in the application of security protocols. Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) is a didactic technique that brings students closer to real situations with the aim of developing the skills required to apply their knowledge in the design, study, and implementation of a solution to a given challenge. In this report, the authors apply this teaching technique to create a system capable of helping civil protection personnel monitor, guide, and record crucial data in an emergency. All of this is achieved through a web administrator and using route planning algorithms hosted within a cloud server to provide the user with an efficient route in real time. The result was a working prototype that performs these tasks. After several tests, the prototype showed the suitability of the system. Educating to prevent is essential to reduce the number of deaths in a disaster. CBL is a suitable technique for developing the necessary skills and integrating multidisciplinary knowledge.
- Information and Communication Technologies and Their Impact on Competitiveness in Latin America(MIAR, 2021-01-19) Arredondo Trapero, Florina Guadalupe; Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Guerra Leal, Eva María; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyOne of the biggest challenges facing countries today is how to make their economies and industries competitive in the face of significant international rivalry and a globalized environment. Countries are making considerable efforts to boost the factors that make them more competitive, not least of these being the adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), a determining factor in global industrial trends. Unfortunately however some countries have lagged behind in terms of ICT implementation, with the Latin American region being a specific example. This article seeks to identify whether there are significant differences between Latin American countries and their main trading partners with respect to ICT adoption, and also with respect to the Global Competitiveness Index (2019) produced by the World Economic Forum. The findings refer to the fact that there is a significant difference in how clusters of various Latin American countries are underpinning competitiveness through ICTs when compared to their main partners.
- Digital Gap in Universities and Challenges for Quality Education: A Diagnostic Study in Mexico and Spain(MDPI, 2020-10-31) Rodríguez-Abitia, Guillermo; Martínez-Pérez, Sandra; Maria Soledad, Ramirez-Montoya; Lopez-Caudana, EdgarThe United Nations (UN) identifies four key elements as agents for change and for addressing societal challenges: education, research, innovation and leadership. The use of technology, from a pedagogical and organizational point of view, in higher education institutions has brought about new challenges. The integration of them in the teaching–learning processes has experienced a great evolution, giving way to a digital transformation and the acquisition of new skills and knowledge, thus pointing towards quality education within the framework of sustainable development objectives. This document aims to describe and analyze the ways in which seven higher education institutions, three in Spain and four in Mexico, have taken up the challenge of adopting technologies and applying them to the educational process. To this end, in-depth interviews and direct observations were carried out. The results point to three dimensions: technological, pedagogical and organizational, which shed light on the different factors that influence the choice and availability of the use of technologies. The results indicate that contextual factors play a determinant role in the ability of an institution to profit from technologies to aid the educational process and guarantee its quality.
