- Um novo paradigma na teoria económica: a necessidade de repensar a escassez de recursosPublication . Martins, António Eduardo Pais Falcão Barbosa; Reis, Felipa Lopes dosA constante evolução da sociedade exige um esforço contínuo para desenvolver novos paradigmas. A gestão do capital intelectual das organizações e de importância crucial. Apresentando uma actualização do estado da arte, o presente documento descreve a metodologia geral que o investigador utilizou para sintetizar um modelo de capital intelectual. O estudo empírico desenvolvido mostra a relevância de um novo paradigma explicativo da ciência económica. As conclusões permitem avaliar a relevância do estudo do capital intelectual para a gestão das organizações numa sociedade do conhecimento.
- Perspectives of online educationPublication . Reis, Felipa Lopes dos; Pinho, Carlos; Negas, Mário Carrilho; Martins, António Eduardo Pais Falcão BarbosaThe objective of this article is to bring up a reflexion on the nature of online education and its specific characteristics. The reality and development level of Information and Communication Technologies are both fundamental for the success and maturity of more evolved teaching processes. These processes assume themselves increasingly as facilitators and active agents of the diffusion of knowledge.
- Assessing eLearning : finding a model for higher educationPublication . Martins, António Eduardo Pais Falcão Barbosa; Reis, Felipa Lopes dos; Negas, Mário Carrilho; Pinho, CarlosLike every form of education or training, e-learning must be assessed with respect to various criteria, bearing in mind that it is undergoing a constant process of improving and progressing towards its goals. However, it is difficult to define a single model for assessing e-learning as technology is evolving all the time, in addition to the fact that Web 2.0 has created new ways for internet users to relate to each other. Therefore, it will be important to analyse the ways in which assessment 2.0 of e-learning is undertaken, bearing in mind that it will correspond to an evolution in the assessment of the mode of e-learning that could be designated "e-learning 1.0", whose most important points are described below. In assessing e-learning, it is often usual to compare it to exclusively presential models, ignoring the fact that e-learning is about what could be called e-pedagogy, in which new standards of communication, collaboration and group behaviour co-exist. In e-learning, new models of learning are used, involving the way that learners interact not only among themselves but also with the educational resources available, both online and offline, resulting in a change in the way they perceive the learning context in which they are involved. The evaluation of e-learning should be tackled in a very pragmatic way. It should be appropriate to the learning project in question and not become a highly complex study resulting in a large amount of complicated data, in which the aims of the evaluation end up being unclear to users. A proper assessment of e-learning must therefore have objectives, indicators, and goals that are explicit and easy to grasp, making it possible to respond to the questions that users wish to see solved. Above all, it should create methods of presenting the results of the assessment in a way that is easily understood by all parties concerned.
- The specifics of the teacher’s education adapted towards new technologiesPublication . Reis, Felipa Lopes dos; Martins, António Eduardo Pais Falcão BarbosaThe education of teachers in new technologies allows each teacher to understand, through his own reality, interests and expectations, how technologies can be useful, the effective use of technology by the student first undergoing assimilation by the teachers. After all, if someone introduces computers to universities without proper attention paid to teachers, the benefit that students are going to ultimately derive from it is of low quality and usefulness. To reach positive effects it’s fundamental to consider an intensive initial enabling of capacity, starting with the teachers that may incentivise their students. Keywords
- Using social software to enhance the student e-learning experiences and activities in higher educationPublication . Negas, Mário Carrilho; Reis, Felipa Lopes dos; Pinho, Carlos; Martins, António Eduardo Pais Falcão BarbosaE-learning – almost by definition - uses advanced technologies to support the formation and development of students. Therefore, Web 2.0 applications have merged into the e-learning domain. Learning experiences in modern e-learning include collaborative aspects and active contributions to learning content. Thus, an e-learning using social network tools arises as a potential learning method. So, it should be questioned if the Web 2.0 applications, used in social networks, can play a positive role in e-learning, as long as professors give them the optimal use and students interpret them as didactic tools. For this purpose, the present paper gives give a consolidated review on how the concept of social networks has influenced e-learning communities. In conclusion, the paper argues that the pedagogical potential of social software can perform the ability to create awareness between students, sharing information and resources that are originally developed for themselves, but made available to others.
