- Active learning methodologies in online teachingPublication . Gonçalves, Bruno F.; Gonçalves, VitorOnline teaching may be attractive, but by itself it is not enough to guar- antee a quality teaching-learning process. Thus, considering the importance of online teaching in the field of education, it is understood that it is crucial to study the most appropriate active learning methodologies for this type of teaching mo- dality. In this sense, the research aims to identify a set of active learning method- ologies to be adopted for online teaching with the aim of contributing to the di- versity and dynamism of the teaching-learning process in order to contribute to helping the student learn more and better. A systematic literature review is used to identify these methodologies in an online teaching context. The results suggest that these kinds of innovative methodologies seem to be suitable to motivate teachers in their classes, since they make the learning process more dynamic, motivate students to participate in the proposed activities and also allow the in- volvement of all the interveners in the construction of knowledge and, therefore, place the student at the center of learning.
- Active methodologies and digital technologies in learning : a systematic literature reviewPublication . Silva, Luana Barbieri; Loureiro, Ana Cláudia; Magoni, Fábio M.; Gonçalves, VitorThe advent of active learning methodologies and educational technologies allowed a major change in pedagogical practice, making conventional teaching processes increasingly decontextualized with the training demands of today's digital society. What is also perceived is the emergence of methods and digital technological resources that promote student-centered teaching and the teacher increasingly assuming the role of mediator of learning. In this perspective, the present work deals with a systematic review of the literature on the use of digital educational technologies and active methodologies in the context of basic education, essentially in classes from 6th to 9th grade. Our objective was to systematically, through parameter and guidelines Prisma Group, bring together a collection of published works, in bibliographic bases (Web of Science, Scopus and Scielo) on this topic in order to verify the potential of using digital technologies to support active methodologies for the student's learning process.
- AduLeT project and its community of practice: an insight into technology advanced use within higher educationPublication . Gonçalves, Vitor; Chumbo, Isabel; Silva, Elisabete Mendes; Patrício, Maria RaquelFor the last two decades one cannot overlook the fact that there have been major improvements in the area of educational technology. Schools and universities also try to accompany the evolutional pace of this new technological stance introduced in the teaching-learning process. The spread of tablets, smartphones and social networks has accounted for an immersion into the technological world by both students and lecturers. Hence, it has been most impossible to underestimate the value of these tools regarding teaching methods. On the one hand, students, as digital natives, adhere enthusiastically to these new teaching approaches. On the other, lecturers are sometimes bereft of ideas when it comes to motivating the students and introduce innovative methodologies to their in regard to the use of technologies in an advanced way. The aim of this paper is to present the platform Community of Practice (CoP), the ultimate visible result of the Advanced use of Learning Technologies in higher education (AduLeT) project, a collaborative 3-year (2016-2019) research project funded by the European Commission, involving seven partner countries. CoP meets the standards that teaching nowadays requires aiming at providing higher education lecturers with a substantial matrix of tools and methods combined. We shall demonstrate the use and effectiveness of the CoP by showing some practical examples and by highlighting several insightful user experiences within the Portuguese higher education context. To establish a connection with the main target audience, we organized two workshops and a multiplier event to lecturers from several higher education institutions, disseminating the results and involving more lecturers in this community. Thus, we intend to materialize in this paper a summary of the project, essentially in the Portuguese perspective. During the multiplier event, we had very positive reactions from the lecturers regarding the CoP. After this event, the participants were also asked to fill in a satisfaction survey on the use of the CoP. In the paper, we shall then put forth and analyze the survey answers so that we shed some light on the efficacy and applicability of the CoP.
- AduLeT Project: the community of practice platformPublication . Gonçalves, Vitor; Chumbo, Isabel; Silva, Elisabete Mendes; Patrício, Maria RaquelThe innovation of Europe’s Higher Education systems results mainly from the use of emerging technologies for education and training. Higher education teachers should be prepared to have adequate knowledge, skills or abilities to deal with it in the most suitable way. Technology enhanced learning is the broad approach to using technology to support teaching and learning processes more effectively. In this sense, Advanced use of Learning Technologies in higher education (AduLeT) project has been set up, a collaborative research project funded by the European Commission, involving seven partner countries, running from November 2016 to August 2019. AduLeT aims to improve the teaching quality of lecturers by enhancing their skills regarding the use of technologies in an advanced way. It also aims at training the lecturer on how a specific teaching method can be combined with a certain technology in addition to providing guidelines, best practice and strategy concepts for lecturers and universities. This support system is being implemented as a community of practice (CoP) with all the results of the project and driven by pedagogical aspects. The CoP should also provide the possibility to get into contact with other lecturers and share experiences about teaching with Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). The present paper intends to expose the system of CoP as well as its usage, explaining methods and tools, looking for a problem, user experiences and barriers. The platform consists in an application developed with an author programming tool which makes navigation and interaction flexible, visual, easy and coherent. The platform has been developed to provide users with a useful experience and to ensure inspired teaching and equipped with the skills required to enhance lectures’ current practice. Our experience shows that a CoP could facilitate the adaptation process and allow a faster and more effective transferability of teaching innovations between different countries as well as between lecturers and universities at a national level.
- Adulet: an innovative community of practice for higher educationPublication . Chumbo, Isabel; Gonçalves, Vitor; Silva, Elisabete Mendes; Patrício, Maria RaquelHigher education lecturers are currently overwhelmed with the idea of changing from the old paradigm, in which teaching and learning happened through a teacher-centred perspective, to a student centred approach, currently a more widely accepted new teaching standpoint, which lecturers are eager to transform into a vivid and motivating experience, by exploring various alternatives. The pressure to do so while resorting to several technological tools is enormous. The use of technological tools available to every student, namely smartphones, social networks, new platforms and other devices do not suffice anymore. Teachers and lecturers seek to go beyond the obvious tools and search for a way to combine these technologies and the new pedagogical approach in order to provide a more profound meaning to the teaching and learning process. AduLeT – Advanced Use of Learning Technologies in higher education – is a European project involving seven different institutions, which aims at improving the teaching quality of lecturers by enhancing their skills concerning the use of technologies in an advanced way, through a Community of Practice (CoP) where methods and tools are intertwined, thus envisaging a common outcome: sharing ready-made solutions which have been tested in a higher education context to solve an educational problem. The aims of this contribution are as follows: 1. to describe the project in the given context; 2. to explain the different stages and methodology towards the design of the CoP; 3. to provide insight about the CoP itself; 4. To clarify how higher education teachers can use the CoP in their daily educational routine. The CoP is made available through a platform, currently correcting some functionalities in the evaluating stage with potential end users, which consists of an application developed with an author programming tool that allows getting flexible, visual, easy and logic navigation and interaction. The platform has been developed to provide users with a valuable experience to facilitate lecturers’ understanding and usability. Our experience shows that a CoP could facilitate the adaptation process and allow a faster and more effective transferability of teaching innovations among different countries as well as among lecturers and universities at an international level. Currently the CoP already contains methods from different fields of knowledge and a variety of tools which can allow a lecturer to choose from, in order to include them in their lectures and seminars as to obtain a better interaction from the student’s side and also to create a more motivated approach on a daily basis.
- Aerodynamics of a wheelchair sprinter racing at the 100m world record pace by CFDPublication . Forte, Pedro; Marinho, D.A.; Morais, J.E.; Morouço, Pedro; Pascoal-Faria, Paula; Barbosa, Tiago M.The aim of this study was to analyze aerodynamics in a racing position of a wheelchair-racing sprinter, at the world record speed. The athlete and wheelchair were scanned at the beginning of the propulsive phase position (hands near the handrims at 12h) for the 3D model acquisition. Numerical simulation was run on Fluent, having as output the pressure, viscosity and total drag force, and respective coefficients of drag at the world record speed in T-52 category. Total drag was 7.56N and coefficient of drag was 1.65. This work helped on getting a deeper insight about the aerodynamic profile of a wheelchair-racing athlete, at a 100m world record speed.
- Alcântaras – o som é um sistema: expanded poetics of production/reception of audio and visual scintillations of sound as a systemPublication . Brasil, Marcus; Alves, CesárioAlcântaras, as the name suggests (bridge, in Arabic), proposes the cre-ation of bridges that connect dispersed temporalities and technologies, but with the same matrix: territoriality and shared ethnicity. A certain State of Nature of living matters that demands, more than an opposition to the Rule of Law, a certain Ecology of Knowledge. A palm tree in the wind, music that spreads in the tidal breeze, by connecting image and sound, ancestral and emerging technologies, nature and culture, body and sound, we want to show the sound that emerges from the wind and the images heard by light, both in ethereal vibrational move-ment. Alcântara, in Maranhão, Brazil, which was once the scene of the commer-cial development of cotton crops, today pulses with reggae sound systems and Creole drums coming from the quilombola communities that were created during and after the end of the colonial era. Such communities are spaces of resistance and maintenance of very refined practices of a cultural framework that involves religiosity, art and life, and body politics. This essay reflects on the process that permeates this artistic investigation, by revealing sparkling/sound excerpts from a strong amalgam of black culture, hid-den in a recess on the coast of Maranhão, which find in the reunion of the visions of a collective of artists and at the intersection of their practices, a unique and unrepeatable synthesis.
- Analysis of the aerodynamics by experimental testing of an elite wheelchair sprinterPublication . Barbosa, Tiago M.; Forte, Pedro; Morais, J.E.; Coelho, EduardaThe aim was to compare the resistive forces acting upon an European wheelchair medallist. The coast-down technique was selected to estimate the resistance in the upright position and racing positions with the neck in hyperextension and flexion, respectively. In the upright position, racing position with the neck in flexion and hyperextension the effective surface area was 0.1747, 0.1482 and 0.1456m2, respectively. The coefficient of rolling friction was 0.00119, 0.00489, 0.00618 and the power to overcome drag 26.62, 22.59, 22.19W for the same positions. As a conclusion, the resistance acting upon the sprinter is different according to his position on the chair. Slight changes in the head position over the race can affect by almost 2% the power output.
- Aprendizagem ao longo da vida e a infoinclusão: perspetivas da população envelhecida da região raiana de PortugalPublication . Gil, Henrique; Patrício, Maria RaquelA aprendizagem ao longo da vida constitui uma preocupação dos vários Estados no sentido de conseguir que os seus cidadãos possam corresponder aos desafios de uma sociedade digital cada vez mais exigente. Estas exigências implicam que neste processo os cidadãos adquiram uma literacia digital que lhes permitam estarem infoincluídos. Contudo, todos os dados referem que os cidadãos mais idosos são aqueles que apresentam os maiores níveis de infoexclusão. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar os principais resultados e conclusões de uma investigação do projeto PerSoParAge - Recursos pessoais e sociais para a autonomia e participação social numa sociedade envelhecida. Foram envolvidos nesta investigação cidadãos entre os 55 e os 64 anos dos distritos de Castelo Branco, Guarda e Portalegre, a fim de se investigar a sua relação com as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação e a aprendizagem ao longo da vida. Foi possível averiguar-se que as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação podem promover uma mais adequada inclusão social desta população envelhecida ao lhes conferir um maior empoderamento que, conjuntamente com a também promoção da aprendizagem ao longo da vida, lhes proporcione um mais adequado processo de envelhecimento na sociedade digital.

M; Gonçalves, Bruno F.This research aims to explore the potentialities and challenges of AI in education in Cape Verde, in order to understand how AI can be used in the teaching–learning context. To carry out the research, a qualitative methodology was adopted supported by a literature review. With support from the documents found, the benefits and potentialities were analyzed, reflecting on the ethical implications of the application of AI in education, with emphasis on privacy, data security and ethics. We discussed the findings related to the potential and challenges of applying AI and how it can play a key role in analyzing data on learners’ performance and preferences, providing immediate feedback, personalized recommendations and complementary activities. Research suggests that AI in education has the potential to improve the equity, quality and reach of education, however, it is necessary to face challenges, such as ensuring the ethical use of AI, accessibility for all students, data protection and privacy. In Cape Verde, AI can be a powerful tool to mitigate socio-economic and geographical challenges, providing a more balanced and equal education across all islands. However, the challenges of access to high-speed internet and the quality of services provided by utilities can be real challenges to overcome.
