Publicación Red de Innovación Docente en evaluación de programas de Pedagogía. Desarrollo de competencias prácticas mediante la evaluación formativa a través de la plataforma educativa WebCT de la UNED, en el marco del EEES(2009-09) Martínez Mediano, C.; Pérez Juste, Ramón; Lara, Enrique; Riopérez Losada, Nuria del Milagro; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso; González Martínez, M. África; García Llamas, José Luis; Galán González, Arturo; Díaz Orueta, GabrielPublicación Building Compliant Pocket Labs with IEEE STD 1876-2019: A Step Forward(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2025-01-01) Martin Fernandez, Ricardo; García Loro, Félix; Sancristóbal Ruiz, Elio; Rodríguez Artacho, Miguel; Saliah Hassane, Hamadou; Castro Gil, Manuel AlonsoThe adoption of standards plays a decisive role in achieving interoperability in educational technology. Remote laboratories have already proven their value in engineering education, but the variety of isolated solutions limits the consolidation of a shared framework. This paper explores how Pocket Labs —decentralized, low-cost remote laboratories— can be aligned with the IEEE 1876-2019 standard and outlines a roadmap for their integration into the Lab as a Service (LaaS) and Learning Object layers defined by the standard. Using a case study based on accessible hardware, we show that it is possible to create compliant laboratories while remaining adaptable to contexts where traditional infrastructures are not available. Beyond the technical alignment, the study examines how Pocket Labs can enrich learning by supporting experimental practice and teamwork by means of a comparison with initiatives such as LabsLand and WebLab-Deusto and illustrates both shared challenges and specific advantages of this approach and how they tackle with the compliance requirements of the standard.Publicación MOOC-Based Flipped Classroom for On-Campus Teaching in Undergraduate Engineering Courses(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2023-06-22) Pertuz, Said; Reyes, Oscar; Sancristóbal Ruiz, Elio; Meier, Russell; Castro Gil, Manuel AlonsoContribution: This work studies how to integrate massive open online courses (MOOC) into traditional, face-toface, undergraduate engineering courses. Background: Massive Open Online Courses emerged as an innovative trend in online learning with distinctive and attractive features, such as ease of access and cost-effectiveness for large audiences. For this reason, they have attracted a lot of attention for their potential in contributing to global challenges in contemporary engineering education. However, the integration of MOOCs into traditional, on-campus courses and programs in higher education remains an open problem. Research question: What is the most effective MOOC-blending strategy for traditional, on-campus engineering programs? Methodology: To answer this question, f irst a literature review was conducted on the utilization of MOOCs within face-to-face undergraduate education. Based on this literature review, this work advocates for the MOOC-based f lipped (MBF) classroom as the strategy with the highest potential for MOOC-based blending. The main pedagogical and design principles of this methodology are described and a case study is presented on a cohort of students (N=23) enrolled in a Digital Signal Processing course within an undergraduate Electronics Engineering program. This is a position paper based on evidence from the literature, but the case study is used to illustrate how the MBFdesign principles can be implemented in practice. Findings: The results suggest that the MBF methodology is a growing trend in undergraduate engineering education with the potential to facilitate student’s active learning in synchronous face-to-face sessions while fostering the adoption and usage of MOOCs.Publicación Sistema de calidad inplementando las directrices propuestas del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior(2003-06-18) Bañón, J. M.; Meciat, D.; Peire Arroba, Juan; Castro Gil, Manuel AlonsoPublicación European Robotics Week to introduce robotics and promote engineering(Wiley, 2018-06-28) Plaza, Pedro; Carro Fernandez, German; García Loro, Félix; Blázquez Merino, Manuel; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso; Sancristóbal Ruiz, ElioWe present an activity framed within the European Robotics Week event. Robotics and computational practice are ideal tools for developing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pedagogy. A modular and adaptive hands-on workshop is described in detail. The workshop is based on multiplatform educational robotics content as a first step into the robotics world. Three educational tools are used to introduce examples of robotics applications. The operational details, materials, and examples of activities for selected modules are presented with the expectation that all teachers can adapt these activities to their classes. Despite the small number of students, the experience delivered results that might be useful for other instructors to promote workshops with similar or identical content to generate further benefits. This study demonstrates that it is important to combine theory and practice and include fun tasks that intertwine the challenges of applying theory to problem solving. Furthermore, the results show how the same content can be deployed using three different robotics education tools.Publicación Smart Grid: Assessment of the past and present in developed and developing countries(ELSEVIER, 2017) Ponce Jara, Marcos Antonio; Ruiz Larrocha, Elena; Gil Ortego, Rosario; Sancristóbal Ruiz, Elio; Pérez Molina, Clara María; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4450-4740The modern struggle to generate electricity reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions has found an ally in Smart Grid technology. This new trend involves a renewed perspective on how to generate, transmit, distribute and manage electricity networks, which not only helps to reduce power demand and cost, but can also improve efficiency, reliability, quality and security. This paper aims to study comprehensively the Smart Grid power system by comparing experiences and success stories from around the world. Developed countries, like the United States and those in the European Union, and developing countries, like India and Brazil, have been taken as examples of the current development and state of the Smart Grid concept. Europe and the U.S. lead the development of Smart Grids systems, while Brazil and India strongly depend on foreign technology and investment for their development in their countries. Climate change represents an extra challenge for developing countries, in addition to other issues related to economic and social advancement. Nevertheless, Smart Grids offer an array of possibilities and opportunities that work towards climate change international goals. However, state motivations and national energy resources limit the advancement of Smart Grids on this matter.Publicación Gender comparative research on learning strategies applying the cognitive-motor model methodology and VISIR remote lab(Wiley, 2019-06-28) Blázquez Merino, Manuel; Plaza, Pedro; López-Rey García-Rojas, África; Albert Gómez, María José; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso; Sancristóbal Ruiz, ElioThe research work hereby presented shows some findings about the different ways used by girls and boys, at secondary school, to assimilate the electricity concepts and electric magnitudes to be able to design and assemble electric circuits. The methodology applied to learning, the cognitive-motor model (CMM), is also presented, and it is based on the mutual interaction of cognitive skills and motor capabilities. Students have followed a specific course designed under CMM specifications. The course contains a combination of theoretical activities and practical tasks by means of which cognitive and motor skills have been measured. To carry out the practical tasks, the Virtual Instrument Systems in a reality remote lab have been used by students as the technical resource. In the study, different learning strategies between male and female students, what affects each gender effectiveness, and learning performance have been found.Publicación Líneas de investigación del DIEEC de la UNED en Enseñanza a Distancia(2001-06-01) Peire Arroba, Juan; Rivilla, I.; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso; Colmenar Santos, Antonio; Carpio Ibáñez, JoséPublicación The Middle East Higher Education Experience: Implementing Remote Labs to Improve the Acquisition of Skills in Industry 4.0(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2023-12-13) Al-Zoub, Abdallah; Sancristóbal Ruiz, Elio; Shahroury, Fadi R.; Castro Gil, Manuel AlonsoIn the ever-evolving landscape of technology, Industry 4.0 stands as a monumental revolution that intertwines man and machine, reshaping the dynamics of labor and work environments.
