- Práticas e recursos educacionais abertos na educação de adultos: um projeto inovador com mulheres de etnia ciganaPublication . Cardoso, Teresa Margarida Loureiro; Pestana, FilomenaA Wikipédia é um dos projetos que mais concorre para a democratização do acesso à informação, podendo, consequentemente, e apesar dos seus limites e contradições, ser enquadrada na educação enquanto fenómeno social, assim contribuindo para os seus avanços. Neste sentido, revisitamos os princípios da Educação Aberta, focando, nomeadamente, as Práticas e os Recursos Educacionais Abertos, que teoricamente fundamentam a integração curricular que testámos daquela enciclopédia online, num contexto de Educação de Adultos (EA), no âmbito de um Curso de Alfabetização e Desenvolvimento Pessoal que decorreu numa IPSS, Instituição Particular de Solidariedade Social, do distrito de Lisboa (em Portugal). Depois, apresentamos a fase de pré-diagnóstico do nosso estudo, em que procuramos indagar se a integração curricular da enciclopédia da atualidade, como a Wikipédia é também designada, poderia ser equacionada naquele contexto específico de EA. Posteriormente, explicitamos atividades realizadas, enfatizando no caso uma direcionada para a problemática do abandono escolar das meninas de etnia cigana. Concluímos, pelas evidências recolhidas, que foi bem acolhida a integração curricular da Wikipédia por nós proposta, e, por outro lado, que as estratégias identificadas, concretamente as relativas às temáticas e respetivas abordagens, tiveram sucesso no desenvolvimento pessoal dos adultos envolvidos. Em suma, a utilização de Recursos Educacionais Abertos globalmente, e particularmente da Wikipédia, tornou-se relevante para promover, com impacte social, o debate sobre uma das questões fraturantes na comunidade de etnia cigana.

- Consumer perception and willingness to try new food products produced by new food technologiesPublication . Frias, Ana; Moura, Ana Pinto de; Cunha, Luís Miguel; Silva, Aline; Almeida, Maria Daniel Vaz deThe increased demand for healthier and sustainable foods is a major driver for the development of a wide variety of processing technologies, such as ohmic heating, high-pressure processing and edible coating. These technologies have the advantage of better preserving the original quality of food products. Therefore, understanding consumers’ needs and possible barriers to acceptance of these technologies helps to better assess the commercial viability of new food products resulting from their application. The aim of this research is to evaluate Portuguese consumers’ attitudes towards new food technologies and understand their willingness to try new food products produced with such technologies.
- Parametric shape optimization using the support functionPublication . Antunes, Pedro R. S.; Bogosel, BeniaminThe optimization of shape functionals under convexity, diameter or constant width constraints shows numerical challenges. The support function can be used in order to approximate solutions to such problems by finite dimensional optimization problems under various constraints. We propose a numerical framework in dimensions two and three and we present applications from the field of convex geometry. We consider the optimization of functionals depending on the volume, perimeter and Dirichlet Laplace eigenvalues under the aforementioned constraints. In particular we confirm numerically Meissner's conjecture, regarding three dimensional bodies of constant width with minimal volume.

- Moodle test activity pilot projectPublication . Amante, Lúcia; Pinto, Maria do Carmo Teixeira; Oliveira, Isolina; Casanova, DiogoThe pandemic caused by the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus brought about deep changes in the functioning of society in general, and confronted higher education institutions with several challenges, forcing them to rethink the assessment process of their students as it is based on face-to-face tests. Universidade Aberta (UAb) has promoted a deep reflection about the changes to be introduced in this field and decided that all 1st cycle students' final tests, conducted faceto- face until the end of February 2020, would be conducted remotely and submitted through the Moodle platform, after the necessary technical changes to make this resolution possible. In this context, the Vice-Rector of UAb, responsible for innovation and quality, led the delivery of a pilot project in which the final assessment, in a restricted set of curricular units, was done using the "Moodle Test" tool.
- Measurement methodologies to assess the effectiveness of global online learningPublication . Isaias, Pedro; Issa, Tomayess; Kommers, PietWhile online learning was an existing practice, the COVID-19 pandemic greatly accelerated its capabilities and forced educational organizations to swiftly introduce online learning for all units. Though schools will not always be faced with forced online learning, it is apparent that there are clear advantages and disadvantages to this teaching method, with its usage in the future cemented. As such, it is imperative that methods for measuring and assessing the effectiveness of online and blended learning are examined in order to improve outcomes and future practices. Measurement Methodologies to Assess the Effectiveness of Global Online Learning aims to assess the effectiveness of online teaching and learning in normal and pandemic situations by addressing challenges and opportunities of adoption of online platforms as well as effective learning strategies, investigating the best pedagogical practices in digital learning, questioning how to improve student motivation and performance, and managing and measuring academic workloads online. Covering a wide range of topics such as the future of education and digital literacy, it is ideal for teachers, instructional designers, curriculum developers, educational software developers, academics, researchers, and students.
