This paper analyzes the benefits of using network simulation as a learning resource in the educational area of Telematics Engineering. Accordingly, a (students' skills) practice program, which can be done using either network simulation or real equipment, has been introduced in the core subject Telematics Architectures and Networks (TAN) of the second year of the bachelor's degree in Telecommunications Systems, Sound, and Image Engineering. The satisfactory evaluation of this innovative teaching methodology is proved by the rating of the surveys answered by the students after the course completion.

This paper presents a cooperative project developed by a network of schools and company of different regions of Spain. The project consisted in the development of a home and building automation system for practical teaching in vocational training. The system is based on the Arduino platform to allow the easy development of new applications and hardware modules. This paper also presents the first experiences of practical use at schools. The project has been granted by the Spanish Ministry of Education.

Higher education institutions have multiple technologic subsystems for administrative, pedagogical management, and quality purposes, which gather an immense volume of data from various sources and which do not communicate with each other. The domain of the analytic performances in education emerges from the need to aggregate multiple sources of data, which the complexity of treatment associated with the ease of mobilizing selected information will make it possible to understand reality and optimize management actions. In this paper, we present the architecture and results achieved in the development of an academic analytics aggregator of multiple sources of data on the educational activity.

The teaching of journalism should consider the new professional contexts, where media convergence requires the editors to work following a collaboratively and integrated approach. The Integrated Journalism Workshop aims at responding to these needs by creating a simulated professional environment of an integrated editorial where students work in coordinated groups. This paper presents an extension of the LdShake platform to support the methodological needs of the workshop. The evaluation of the initial implementation of the platform provides a set of preliminary results that shows the platform is useful for the targeted purposes, improving the approach previously used in the course.

Information and communication technologies are changing the tools that people use in their daily life. Teaching and learning processes are also affected. These technologies emphasize the fact that learning is not always linked to an institution or a period of time. However, institutional learning systems do not support these issues, which makes necessary the definition of personal learning environments. This paper describes the experience of the application of a mobile version of these personal environments in an educational context. It allows students the definition of their own personal environments in their mobile device and it is able to exchange information with the institutional systems. From this experience, it is possible to say the definition of mobile personal learning environments is possible, it increases learners' motivation and enriches their learning; and at the same time, it is possible to take into account what the learners do beyond the institution.
