Eticidad e intersubjetividad en las biografías educativas de un grupo de profesores
El texto presentado a continuación contiene la fundamentación y la estructura de la Tesis Doctoral titulada Determinación del rol de la intersubjetividad y de la eticidad en las biografías educativas de un grupo de profesores/ Determinação do papel da intersubjectividade e da eticidade nas biografías educativas de um grupo de profesores (Ramos, 2014) leída en la Universidad de Granada, a finales del año pasado. Se complementa esa fundamentación con la presentación de una de las biografías educativas reconstituidas en la investigación, que tomamos como ejemplo del proceso de reflexión sobre los temas de la eticidad y de la intersubjetividad conducido por una de nuestras colaboradoras
ICT in Higher Education: a case-study of mediated blended-learning
Teaching in on-line and collaborative situations requires a
variety of responses including changes in pedagogy as
instructors taking the role of facilitators of information
while guiding students toward solutions. In order for
online learning to be successful, therefore, teachers as
well as learners will need to explore new roles in the
teaching-learning relationship. In this paper, the authors
propose to examine how educators can mediate
instruction by first designing their course goals and
objectives and then consider how the on-line environment
can best serve the instructional objectives and plan
appropriate activities and assessment. We seek to explore
the use of online environments as the bridge between real
world and reflective knowledge
The magellan project and portuguese teachers’ perspectives
This article discusses the limits and potential uses of mobile technologies in teaching, from the point of view of Portuguese
teachers of compulsory education, with a special focus on "Magellan Project” laptop computers. This reflection was
constructed from the analysis of group interviews, conducted with practicing teachers in the central region of Portugal. Some
data were also obtained from an online survey submitted to about 50 teachers during training on this subject. The feedback
from these interviews was analysed in order to justify the present report

Improving staff competences to promote quality of eLearning in Higher Education
Quality and innovation of Higher Education is clearly pointing to a better pedagogic knowledge of the faculty members aiming at the academic success of the students. This aim requires, from the institution and teachers, a much greater involvement than what has been the case, at least, in Portuguese universities [6]. The University of Aveiro, Portugal, is engaged in taking advantage of all the opportunities to improve the quality of more than 40 undergraduate and 130 postgraduate programs currently being offered, and to wide the catalogue of choices of students by the promotion of ICT/Internet based programs [2]. One of the main constraints to overcome is the change of mind required from faculty staff, most of which is not familiarized with the functionalities of ICT/Internet based technologies to deploy flexible and studentcentred learning settings. The University of Aveiro is taking advantage of a major change in the European Higher Education landscape, the wiling to create a common European Higher Education space (Bologna Declaration), to induce changes in course design and delivery through the integration of ICT/Internet support. Furthermore, this paper presents and discusses a staff development program for faculty staff aiming to provide academics with essential skills in areas such as teaching best practices, curriculum design (student-centred), collaborative learning and the adoption of ICT/Internet technologies
