Resumen:
Combining learning objects are a challenging topic because of its direct application to curriculum generation, tailored to the students' profiles and preferences. Intelligent planning allows us to adapt learning routes (i.e., sequences of learning objects), thus highly improving the personalization of contents, the pedagogical requirements, and specific necessities of each student. This paper presents a general and effective approach to extract metadata information from the e-learning contents, a form of reusable learning objects, to generate a planning domain in a simple, automated way. Such a domain is used by an intelligent planner that provides an integrated recommendation system, which adapts, stores, and reuses the best learning routes according to the students' profiles and course objectives. If any inconsistency happens during the route execution, e.g., the student fails to pass an assessment test, which prevents him/her from continuing the natural course of the route, the system adapts and/or repairs the course to meet the new objectives.

Resumen:
With the implementation of digital terrestrial television (DTT) in Latin American countries, and taking into account their ability to develop interactive services, new possibilities have been opened for improved connectivity in rural areas and in those with difficult access by using applications that allow universal information. In order to transfer the existing information from Spain and Europe to Latin America, the network MELISA has been created aiming to exchange technologies, devices, and information in order to provide people with disabilities with better access to DTT services, developing measures to promote and improve the quality and accessibility of DTT services in the region.

Resumen:
This paper aims to evaluate the Wiki tool on Moodle, according to student performance. Research was conducted with students who were using the virtual learning environment, in which they had engaged in the construction of a collaborative text, showing the importance/consequences of the use of information technologies and communication, in small and medium enterprises in the region of Sant'Ana do Livramento city. Wiki provides collaborative learning and building of concepts, thus creating a final result with the help of author and coauthors that lead to dialogue and interaction among students.

Resumen:
This paper describes the integration of Laboratorio Remoto de Física Electrónica, fully developed at the Universidad Nacional de Rosario, with the learning management system (LMS) developed by e-ducativa. This technology is basically a self-communication protocol that allows exchanging data in a standardized way between the LMS software and the device control connected to the remote equipment. It includes the implementation of an interface that allows the users of the LMS to have access to this remote lab and to other future similar developments. This integration allows the students to perform experimental practices from the distance by accessing the same LMS they use for other educational purposes.

Resumen:
This paper reports an experience of ICT application using mobile devices on an educational scenario on a basic education environment. We present a pilot project developed by the Remote Experimentation Lab (RExLab), from the Federal University of Santa Catarina and coexecuted by the School of Basic Education Maria Garcia Pessi in Santa Catarina, Brazil. The project has the support of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development and the mining company Vale do Rio Doce, in the framework of a Formation-Engineering program that intends to stimulate the vocational interest of basic education students for the engineering profession and for scientific and technological research. The proposed development is based on educational content that can be accessed through mobile devices and supplemented through the use of remote experiments. The integration between mobile devices, virtual learning environments, and remotely accessed experiments provides students with a new way to interact with the discipline of physics in a simple and enjoyable way, anywhere and anytime. The architecture implemented in this pilot project is entirely based on open source resources, both software and hardware, including the learning management system (Moodle), the RExMobile app, and the remote experiments developed by RExLab.

Resumen:
Remote 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 issues are presented and explained, all reported by teachers, that gave support to students' use of remote laboratories. The first issue deals with the need to allow students to select the actual place where an ammeter is to be inserted on electric circuits, even incorrectly, therefore emulating real-world difficulties. The second one deals with problems with timing when several measurements are required at short intervals, as in the discharge cycle of a capacitor. In addition, the last issue deals with the use of a multimeter in dc mode when reading ac values, a use that collides with the lab settings. All scenarios are presented and discussed, including the solution found for each case. The conclusion derived from the described work is that the remote laboratories area is an expanding field, where practical use leads to improvement and evolution of the available solutions, requiring a strict cooperation and information-sharing between all actors, i.e., developers, teachers, and students.
