A optimización da coordinación de prácticas externas a través dunha APP

[Resumo] A evolución do ensino superior cara a unha apendizaxe baseada en competencias implicou unha importante transformación dos contidos, enfoques, e interaccións educativas. O peso dos criterios de empregabilidade na definición destas competencias tense proxectado nunha maior atención ás prácticas externas nas titulacións. A diversidade de perfís profesionais e a cohabitación de prácticas curriculares e extracurriculares dota de grande complexidade á coordinación de prácticas. Coordinadores e titores teñen que dedicar unha parte importante do seu tempo á organización e xestión de todo o proceso en detrimento dun apoio e seguemento de calidade de estudantes e titores da empresa durante a estadía de prácticas. Nesta liña o obxecto deste texto é o de efectuar unha aproximación ás potencialiades do emprego dunha aplicación de xestión de proxectos na Coordinación de Prácticas. A partir da experiencia do Grao de Comunicación Audiovisual da Universidade da Coruña, afóndase nas melloras do uso desta APP – Asana- para todo o proceso.[Abstract] The evolution of higher education towards competency-based learning involved a major transformation of educational contents, approaches, and interactions. The weighting of employability criteria in the definition of these competences was projected in a greater attention to external practices in degrees. The diversity of professional profiles and the cohabitation of curricular and extracurricular practices gives great complexity to the coordination of practices. Coordinators and tutors have to dedicate an important part of their time to the organization and management of the whole process to the detriment of a support and follow-up of quality of students and tutors of the company during the internship stay. In this line the object of this text is to make an approximation to the potentialities of the use of a project management application in the Coordination of Practices. Based on the experience of the Degree in Audiovisual Communication of the University of A Coruña, the improvements in the use of this APP - Asana- for the whole process are deepened

Radio 2.0 in Higher Education Communities: An approximation of Aveiro University Members perceptions

The web 2.0 raises new challenges and opportunities in many different fields of activity, namely because it introduces different approaches and possibilities to the relationship among participants both at institutional and individual levels. On the Higher Education context many changes are occurring due to the introduction of new learning paradigms, many of them take advantage of web 2.0 technologies to configure more effective and diverse scenarios to support the work of students and teaching staff. Social networks are currently being adopted in many Higher Education communities as platforms to support the interaction among community members, taking advantage of the potential of those networks to foster strong and meaningful relationships and support the awareness and consolidation of group identity. This potential is being explored to promote new possibilities for teaching and learning that include new approaches such as the personal learning environments. This article addresses the potential that radio services have for Higher Education communities in a web 2.0, focusing on the case of the University of Aveiro (Portugal). The article explores the perceptions that Aveiro academic members have about webradio potentialities in terms of sense of belonging creation and community cohesion

Education potential of university webradio: an approach from the perspective of teachers and speakers

La evolución de la radiofonía hertziana a la web supuso una renovación del producto sonoro que, con la incorporación de otro tipo de elementos inherentes al sistema digital, alcanza una proyección más allá del ámbito estrictamente sonoro. Las características del medio radiofónico en Internet ofrecen múltiples potencialidades para las radios universitarias que, en el medio digital, están registrando un crecimiento exponencial debido a que presentan nuevas formas de creación, emisión, difusión e intercambio de información. El presente trabajo tiene por objeto profundizar en las potencialidades que la web brinda a las radios universitarias desde una perspectiva educativa, así como conocer las percepciones que estudiantes y profesores –como sus principales públicos- tienen sobre este ámbito. Una aproximación -parte de un trabajo exploratorio en torno a la creación de una webradio en la Universidade de Aveiro- para la que se seleccionaron sendas muestras de conveniencia, de docentes y discentes, que llevó a adoptar para cada una de ellas una metodología y una herramienta de investigación diferentes. Para el estudio de las percepciones de los alumnos respecto a las capacidades educativas de las webradios universitarias se optó por un cuestionario, mientras que en el caso de los profesores dicho trabajo fue abordado a través de entrevistas personales. Los datos recabados por ambas herramientas subrayaron la escassa importancia de la vertiente educativa en la concepción que estudiantes y profesores presentan sobre los contenidos de una radio universitaria. Una concepción que podría interferir en el aprovechamiento de las potencialidades que la webradio presenta para el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje.Changes from analogical radio to webradio has involved an audible product updating that, with digital media elements incorporation, achieves a projection further of the audible field.

Mobilidade da rádio na era digital: interatividade, participação e partilha de conteúdos nas emissoras ibéricas

No quadro da investigação científica sobre rádio, os últimos anos têm dado a conhecer inúmeras abordagens sobre o significado de uma post-radio (Oliveira & Portela, 2011), isto é, a definição de um conjunto de questões que se colocam à inclusão da rádio contemporânea em ambientes digitais e online. Esta migração digital tem vindo a proporcionar o desenvolvimento das aplicações móveis das rádios, como o alargamento das potencialidades comunicativas (Aguado, Feijoo & Martínez, 2013), de audiências, de convergência de conteúdos interativos entre ouvintes-utilizadores. Conscientes desta oportunidade, as principais emissoras da Espanha e Portugal alargaram o universo da radiofonia à plataforma móvel, com especial atenção aos telefones inteligentes, através do desenvolvimento de aplicações móveis (apps) (Cerezo, 2010). Os smartphones, como símbolo de uma cultura em permanente mutação, sugerem não apenas uma maior facilidade no acesso e interação, mas acrescentam grandes possibilidades para a difusão de conteúdos entre audiências, o que estudos têm designado por user distributed content (Villi, 2012). O presente artigo apresenta uma análise exploratória sobre as políticas atuais das principais rádios espanholas e portuguesas nas aplicações móveis, avaliando o grau de interação e participação mobilizado nessas plataformas. Durante a observação, conclui-se, entre outros dados, que a plataforma móvel representa um canal suplementar para a rádio tradicional FM, mais que um novo meio com linguagem e expressividade próprios

Radio mobility in the digital era: interactivity, participation and content share possibilities in Iberian broadcasters

In the context of the scientific research into radio, recent years have encouraged many theories about the meaning of a post-radio (Oliveira & Portela, 2011), thus enlisting several parameters regarding the inclusion of contemporary radio in the digital and online environments. This digital migration has led to the development of mobile applications for radio, broadening the communicative potential of audiences (Aguado, Feijoo & Martínez, 2013), as well as promoting convergence of interactive content among listeners-users. Aware of this opportunity, the main broadcasters in Spain and Portugal have broadened their radiophonic scope to the mobile platform, especially geared towards smartphones through the development of mobile applications, commonly known as apps (Cerezo, 2010). As a symbol of a culture in permanent changing, smartphones not only provide greater easiness in terms of access and interaction, but also afford larger opportunities for disseminating content among audiences, a phenomenon that some studies have labelled as user distributed content (Villi, 2012). This article presents an exploratory analysis of the current policies of the main Spanish and Portuguese radio broadcasters regarding mobile applications, evaluating the different levels of interaction and participation in these platforms. This observation led to the conclusion, among other findings, that the mobile platform represents a supplementary channel for traditional FM radio, rather than a new medium with its own language and expression
