Una serie de investigadores punteros de varias universidades mundiales han recibido el encargo de analizar la última vanguardia en comunicación. Así, se han podido recopilar sus investigaciones y reflexiones en torno a los nuevos contenidos (in)formativos a partir de las reformas que ha supuesto el Espacio Europeo de Enseñanza Superior (EEES o Plan Bolonia) como reto innovador en las aulas en tanto en cuanto contenidos y fórmulas. Esta aportación intelectual a las nuevas corrientes docentes se ha plasmado en un trabajo, multidisciplinar y variado, que se presenta en formato de libro, patrocinado por el Fórum Internacional de Comunicación y Relaciones Públicas (Fórum XXI), la Socied...
This book addresses the links between climate change and the threats it poses to sustainable development, from a distance education perspective. Discussing current trends and challenges in sustainable development education, climate literacy and innovations in climate change education, it contributes to the global debate on the implementation of education for sustainability.

This book reports on a rather unique European experience, the pioneering ECO project for Social MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and recapitulates the whole three-year process. It provides a critical perspective on the future of MOOCs in Europe and provides several comparisons with other existing models and platforms. The book contains chapters that address the major issues connected to MOOC design and implementation. The first 8 chapters cover large issues that extend beyond the ECO project experience, such as creative industries and trans-literacy; management and implementation; learning environments and platforms; dissemination; pedagogical models; interactivity and agility; gamificati...
La irrupción de la tecnología digital en casi todos los ámbitos empresariales, institucionales, organizacionales y personales está provocando, desde hace setenta años, la transformación continua e irreversible de la sociedad. Las formas de trabajar, estudiar, hacer negocio, ser ciudadano, divertirse, estar en contacto con las amistades y los seres queridos, realizar política, etcétera, han cambiado tanto que no es exagerado decir que las generaciones más jóvenes viven un mundo distinto al de sus generaciones predecesoras. En gran medida, ese cambio radical se debe a la continua y silenciosa transformación digital.
Pintar un paisaje alentador y halagüeño de lo que supone la inversión en investigación, desarrollo e innovación supone todo un ejercicio de imaginación al alcance de muy pocos, tal y como se han ido desarrollando los acontecimientos a nivel mundial en los últimos años. Pero el ávido lector va a encontrar un panorama bien diferente en las próximas páginas, y es ahí donde reside la grandeza de esta humilde publicación. La educación superior está viviendo momentos convulsos en casi todos los países, debido en gran parte al auge de las nuevas tecnologías que están transformando el modelo de aprendizaje tradicional. Este hecho en sí mismo no se puede considerar bueno ni malo po...
This book offers a comparative and critical study of experiences of participation in transitional justice. Based on a detailed study of 35 transitional justice experiences in 20 countries, the document explores the different scenarios that have allowed victims and civil society to participate in the promotion, adoption and implementation of measures of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-repetition, and illustrates the potential and limitations of such participation in different contexts.
This book gathers the proceedings of the Multidisciplinary International Conference of Research Applied to Defense and Security (MICRADS 2022), held at Escuela Naval de Suboficiales ARC "Barranquilla," in Barranquilla, Colombia, during July 11–13, 2022. It covers a broad range of topics in systems, communication, and defense; strategy and political–administrative vision in defense; and engineering and technologies applied to defense. Given its scope, it offers a valuable resource for practitioners, researchers, and students alike.
This book presents an experiential, aesthetic-affective approach to the study of institutions. Drawing on institutional sociology, hermeneutics, phenomenology and process philosophy, it conceptualises institutions as collective experiences with their own self-promoting and self-propelling powers. Instead of seeing institutional emergence, change and decline as the result of actors’ interests and manipulations, this book re-establishes the importance of factors beyond human design and intervention. Drawing on process theory, it shows how ideas, norms and values can form self-stabilising configurations that affect people without conscious realisation. It complements current thinking about institutions by showing how institutions constitute people long before people constitute them. With the help of authors as diverse as Antonio Damasio, A.N. Whitehead, J.W. von Goethe and Max Weber, Elke Weik crafts a perspective that allows us to understand institutions as aesthetic and affective powers in their own right. This book is for researchers interested in process theory, institutional and organisational studies, hermeneutics, and aesthetics.
