The philosopher Spinoza once asserted that no one knows what a body can do, conceiving an intrinsic bodily power with unknown limits. Similarly, we can ask ourselves about Artificial Intelligence (AI): To what extent is the development of intelligence limited by its technical and material substrate? In other words, what can AI do? The answer is analogous to Spinoza’s: Nobody knows the limit of AI. Critically considering this issue from philosophical, interdisciplinary, and engineering perspectives, respectively, this book assesses the scope and pertinence of AI technology and explores how it could bring about both a better and more unpredictable future. What AI Can Do highlights, at both the theoretical and practical levels, the cross-cutting relevance that AI is having on society, appealing to students of engineering, computer science, and philosophy, as well as all who hold a practical interest in the technology.
This two-volume set LNCS 10924 and 10925 constitute the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Learning and Collaboration Technologies, LCT 2018, held as part of the 20th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2018, in Las Vegas, NV, USA in July 2018. The 1171 papers presented at HCII 2018 conferences were carefully reviewed and selected from 4346 submissions. The papers cover the entire field of human-computer interaction, addressing major advances in knowledge and effective use of computers in a variety of applications areas. The papers in this volume are organized in the following topical sections: designing and evaluating systems and applications, technological innovation in education, learning and collaboration, learners, engagement, motification, and skills, games and gamification of learning, technology-enhanced teaching and assessment, computing and engineering education.
This handbook presents a timeless, comprehensive, and up-to-date resource covering major issues in the field of teacher education research. In a global landscape where migration, inequality, climate change, political upheavals and strife continue to be broadly manifest, governments and scholars alike are increasingly considering what role education systems can play in achieving stability and managed, sustainable economic development. With growing awareness that the quality of education is very closely related to the quality of teachers and teaching, teacher education has moved into a key position in international debate and discussion. This volume brings together transnational perspectives to provide insight and evidence of current policy and practice in the field, covering issues such as teacher supply, preservice education, continuing professional learning, leadership development, professionalism and identity, comparative and policy studies, as well as gender, equity, and social justice.

This new volume provides an informative collection of chapters on ICT and data analytics in education, helping to lead the digital revolution in higher education. The chapters emphasize skill development through ICT, artificial intelligence in education, policies for integrating ICT in higher education, and more. The book focuses mainly on technological advancements in ICT in education, the perceived role of ICT in the teaching-learning transaction, pedagogy for teaching-learning in the 21st century, student-centered learning based on ICT, learning analytics, online technologies learning, tools for technology enhanced learning, distance education and learning, the effective use of ICT in management education, experiences in ICT for technology-enhanced learning, influence of ICT in research development in higher education, role of teachers in direct classroom teaching in web-based education system, and role of ICT in innovation capacity building. The case studies help to illustrate the ideas and concepts discussed in the chapters.
El libro presenta proyectos formativos a través de cursos masivos abiertos, MOOCs, y de investigación interdisciplinaria, interinstitucional y binacional, enfocados en las demandas de la cadena de valor de la energía eléctrica: generación, transmisión, distribución, uso y eficiencia energética. El soporte conceptual de la sustentabilidad energética, abordado en los MOOC, se ha vinculado con el sector productivo y con la realidad energética moderna. El soporte de innovación educativa está dado a través de la implementación de estrategias poco abordadas en los MOOC, como lo son la gamificación, el aprendizaje basado en retos, mediación del aprendizaje, diseños de ambientes innovadores con recursos educativos abiertos, procesos de autogestión y redes de aprendizaje para la co-construcción. La obra sugiere nuevas miradas y oportunidades para la comunidad global interesada en aspectos críticos como la sustentabilidad energética, la tecnología, la investigación y la innovación educativa.
Este libro recoge las conferencias magistrales y las ponencias presentadas durante el II Congreso Internacional de Ingeniería de Sistemas, denominado Innovando la Educación en Tecnología, organizado por la Carrera de Ingeniería de Sistemas de la Universidad de Lima, el cual tuvo lugar en la capital peruana los días 5 y 6 de septiembre del 2019. Su temática principal giró alrededor del impacto de las tecnologías de la información en la educación. Las ponencias magistrales y los trabajos de investigación presentados ofrecieron innovadoras experiencias de aplicación y prometedoras líneas de trabajo futuro encaminadas a la transformación de las formas tradicionales de educación hacia esquemas dinámicos y soportados fuertemente por la tecnología. La aplicación de paradigmas innovadores basados en técnicas de improvisación, gamificación, educación en ingeniería y enseñanza de la programación demostraron el potencial impacto que el binomio tecnología-educación puede generar en todos los niveles educativos y en diversos contextos de enseñanza-aprendizaje.
