    Factors Affecting the Participation of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in e-Learning and Their Satisfaction: A Quantitative Study
    (Athabasca University, 2017-11-01) Ferreiro Lago, Emilio; Osuna Acedo, Sara
    Today the digital divide is measured not so much by access to the internet but by people's ability to interact in cyberspace, which calls for specific digital communication skills. These skills are also required for participation in e-learning, bearing in mind that the deaf and hard of hearing have certain characteristics related to their condition. This study aims to identify inequalities in access to e-learning by those who are deaf or hard of hearing, observe how they are related to social and demographic factors, and confirm whether the accessibility of the e-learning environment has a direct influence on their satisfaction. The study has been conducted via an electronic survey in Spain with a nonprobabilistic sample, in line with the characteristics of this sector of the population, recording social and demographic data, and information about the participants' experience of e-learning and their satisfaction with the experience. The representative survey sample consisted of 484 deaf and hard-ofhearing individuals in Spain, aged between 16 and 64. Using a chi-square test for independence we obtained a significant relationship between participation in online courses and the following variables: level of education, knowledge of sign language, and number of members in the household. A correspondence analysis was then carried out to detect particular relationships between classes of the related variables.

    Collaborative lifelong learning and professional transfer. Case study: ECO European Project
    (Routledge, 2018-03-20) Marta Lazo, Carmen; Frau Meigs, Divina; Osuna Acedo, Sara
    This research reviews the formative model of the sMOOCs (social MOOC) characterized by the interaction and the implication of the participants who, relying on collective intelligence, look for the co-creation of knowledge in every educational action. The fieldwork focuses on the analysis of the “Step by Step” sMOOC of ECO Project (the second and third editions), that aims at the training of e-teachers and the transfer of learning to the professional field. The research methodology is mixed, with quantitative and qualitative techniques: it uses a semi-structured questionnaire, in order to compare possible bivariate correlations between the different variables; it conducts a content analysis of the fragments of messages written by the participants in the forums of the course. One of the most significant conclusions is the high degree of satisfaction of the participants with regard to the value of the course for their professional life. This form of transfer of the learning process leads to the proposal of a new modality for MOOCs, the tMOOC as “transferMOOC”.

    Competencias mediáticas para el empoderamiento digital. Estudio de caso de inmigrantes hispanos en Estados Unidos
    (Universidad de Granada, 2021-10-16) Gil Quintana, Javier; Osuna Acedo, Sara; Marta Lazo, Carmen
    Esta investigación analiza las competencias digitales de los inmigrantes hispanos residentes en Estados Unidos, con el fin de conocer cuáles son sus posibles fortalezas y carencias para alcanzar un verdadero empoderamiento digital ciudadano como grupo. Como técnicas de análisis, se realiza una triangulación metodológica mediante encuestas a los propios inmigrantes, entrevistas en profundidad a observadores privilegiados y focus groups a representantes de diversas disciplinas, todo ello en paralelo con el estudio de los programas radiofónicos de servicio público en la Spanish Public Radio, gestionado por los propios inmigrantes y destinados a su grupo. Se ha concluido que los inmigrantes hispanos residentes en EE.UU. dedican sus consumos en el ciberespacio a un manejo más instrumental del mismo, pero les faltan actitudes críticas para actuar como ciberciudadanía empoderada. El empoderamiento digital de este sector de la población es eficiente para hacerse un hueco en el espacio digital, dar respuesta a sus carencias, sus necesidades y su consolidación como grupo activo e interactivo

    Open, Mobile and Collaborative Educational Experience. Case study: The European ECO Project
    (J.UCS Consortium, 2017) Cantillo Valero, Carmen; Osuna Acedo, Sara; Gil Quintana, Javier
    The European ECO Project has contributed to the dissemination of MOOCs by developing an educational model which promotes participation and interaction through social networks and an own virtual platform. Likewise, it fosters students’ empowerment by allowing them to create their own courses. Such training model is studied in this research work, firstly, through the analysis of teachers’ and students’ speeches posted on forum boards and groups. Then results obtained in several surveys conducted among participants, which consider interactions taking place both in and off the platform, are triangulated. Educational and motivational factors in the students’ profile show the advantages and disadvantages found in their perception of the collaborative learning model, as well as the empowerment derived from the participation in the creation of their own MOOCs. This study reveals multiple factors affecting the proper development of these courses, while considering communication as an incentive for the creation of knowledge through the MOOC itself. All this will contribute to improve the quality of education and to trigger a change of paradigm, necessary to understand today’s education and society.

    Building Children's Identity in the Disney World
    (Universidad de La Laguna, 2018) Cantillo Valero, Carmen; Osuna Acedo, Sara; Gil Quintana, Javier
    Communication industries have become powerful instruments for dominion and submission by locating themselves strategically in economy, politics and culture. All these aspects of human representation are influenced by the entertaining industries, thus achieving their goal of subduing their manipulated audience towards passivity. Methodology: Through a mixed methodology and the triangulation of obtained data, the study yields significant results concerning the influence of entertaining industries, as reflected in the statements of the subjects interviewed. Conclusions and discussion: Our analysis and reflections lead us to conclude that mainstream culture has had an impact on the popular culture, not to make the public the true protagonist though, but to impose messages phrased by the hegemonic class.

    Citizenship Training through sMOOCs: A Participative and Intercreative Learning
    (MDPI, 2020-09-09) Gil Quintana, Javier; Osuna Acedo, Sara
    sMOOCs (social massive open online courses) have revealed themselves as a remarkable opportunity to foster the culture of participation and open knowledge and sustainability. Due to their communicative potential, they make it possible for participants to interact, to create ubiquitous learning, and to build knowledge in a collective way. This educational and communicative line has set the basis for the European ECO (e-learning, communication, open data) Project, i.e., the purpose of our study, which, beyond training teachers, is decidedly betting on open life-long education. The results presented in the study have been elicited by following a quantitative methodology, through the analysis of a “sMOOC Step by Step” community, intended to become an educational gate to students’ empowerment, shared knowledge, and participation in the course. Results show that collaborative work practices organized by teachers in that virtual learning community encourage educational changes. Both the degree of satisfaction with the learning achieved and the way students perceive its direct applicability to real-life professional contexts prove the effectiveness of this training model. Our research has expanded, aiming to discover sMOOCs opportunities for teacher training and assessing the motivation shown by the virtual learning community towards such an educational reality.

    From sMOOC to tMOOC, learning towards professional transference: ECO European Project
    (Grupo Comunicar, 2018-04-01) Marta Lazo, Carmen; Frau Meigs, Divina; Osuna Acedo, Sara
    The evolution of MOOCs in the last decade has been constant and dynamic. The first cMOOC and xMOOC models eventually evolved into different postMOOC modalities, such as sMOOC, which conjugates interaction among students with a participation model based on social networks. This work is focused on carrying out a systematic review of the state-of-the-art scientific literature referred to the concept of MOOC and its diverse types. Moreover, in this article, a new generation associated to sMOOC is unveiled: the tMOOC (Transfer Massive Open Online Courses). The methodology of study is based on the content analysis of those categories resulting after compiling 707 entries from Web of Science, plus an in-depth study of the 70 articles which were quoted at least 10 times. In addition, a case study has been carried out from European ECO Project’s “sMOOC step by step”, as an example of innovative pedagogical model based on collaborative learning to train future e-teachers. The results of the analysis show the very recent –and still scarce– research on the different types of MOOCs, as well as the finding of a new modality based on pedagogical transformation, learning transference and intercreative talent. As a conclusion, the analysis of all key factors in the configuration of tMOOC suggests a new taxonomy based on the 10 T’s.

    La producción del discurso en redes sociales respecto a las desapariciones de personas y consiguientes juicios paralelos. Análisis semántico del caso de Gabriel Cruz (España) en Twitter y Facebook
    (Pontifícia Universidad Católica de Valparaiso, 2020-08) Carmen Marta-Lazo; Osuna Acedo, Sara; Gil Quintana, Javier
    Resumen Este artículo tiene como objetivo llevar a cabo un análisis de la realidad representada en la construcción del discurso, a partir de un caso de estudio cualitativo netnográfico que conjunta una doble vertiente: la desaparición de un menor que terminó en tragedia y la presunta culpabilidad de una inmigrante de raza negra en un asesinato que tuvo gran repercusión mediática. Para ello, en este análisis y categorización del discurso escrito de los actantes, tratamos de dilucidar los diferentes rasgos, intencionalidad y tratamiento del mismo en los sitios oficiales de Twitter y Facebook de cuatro medios de comunicación españoles @telecincoes, @LaSextaNoticias, @noticias-cuatro y @A3Noticias, mediante el estudio de sus diferencias. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto cómo el discurso en redes sociales tiene mayor proyección si está basado en la xenofobia, presentándose como `juicio paralelo´ normalizado ante determinados hechos sociales, planteamiento que es potenciado por los propios medios de comunicación.

    The social and Transfer Massive Open Online Course: Post-Digital Learning
    (MDPI, 2021-04-30) Hueso Romero, José Javier; Gil Quintana, Javier; Hasbun, Helen; Osuna Acedo, Sara
    This research provides a current view on post-digital learning experiences with a massive open online course (MOOC), in relation to user profiles, universal instructional design, digital resources, inclusive activities and collaborative assessment. The study is based on a mixed research methodology, creating a questionnaire aimed at people with experience in any MOOC typology, in which the learning methodology, the instructional didactic design of the MOOCs, the resources, proposed activities, and accessibility are analyzed. Additionally, interviews and focus groups were carried out with the creators of massive open online social courses alongside the students of the official Master of Communication and Education on the Internet, offered by the UNED (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia—Spain), with the subject of virtual participation scenarios. The data obtained are subjected to statistical tests to determine the scientific rigor, such as Cronbach’s alpha, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, and the non-parametric tests of Spearman’s correlation coefficient and Kendall’s Tau b. In conclusion, the social massive open online course/transfer massive open online course model is evidenced as a projected approach in social networks. The sMOOC and tMOOC are online training models, which are in constant development and evolution, as a social, creative, collaborative, interactive, and inclusive learning methodology, offering new challenges for the digital distance education of the future. The research carried out is only related and linked to the experiences of different people with the sMOOC and tMOOC.

    La construcción de la identidad infantil en el mundo Disney
    (Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2018) Osuna Acedo, Sara; Gil Quintana, Javier; Cantillo Valero, Carmen
    ntroducción. Las industrias de la comunicación se convierten en instrumentos poderosos de dominio y sumisión, situándose de forma estratégica en la economía, la política y la cultura. En todos estos aspectos de la representación humana podemos encontrar la influencia de las industrias del entretenimiento, cumpliendo así con el objetivo de someter a su audiencia manipulada hacia la pasividad. Metodología. A través de una metodología mixta y la triangulación de los datos obtenidos, el estudio arroja resultados significativos sobre la influencia de las industrias del entretenimiento, que se ve reflejada en los discursos de los sujetos entrevistados. Conclusiones y discusión. Nuestros análisis y reflexiones nos llevan a la conclusión de que la cultura mainstream ha repercutido en la cultura popular, pero no para convertir al público en protagonista, sino para imponer los mensajes formulados por la clase hegemónica.
