Artificial Intelligence algorithms’ application to medical data has gained relevance due to its powerful benefits among different research tasks. Nevertheless, medical data is heterogeneous and diverse, and these algorithms need technological support to tackle these data management challenges. The CARTIER-IA platform enables different roles (including principal researchers, IA developers and data collectors) to unify medical data, both structured data and DICOM images, and to apply Artificial Intelligence algorithms to them in a straightforward way through an online web application. However, given the diversity of roles involved in the platform, it is essential to account for its usability. It is necessary that users feel comfortable using the platform as relevant and complex tasks are carried out through its different services (such as the application of algorithms to the stored data, the manual edition of medical images or the visualization of structured data). This work presents a heuristic evaluation of the CARTIER-IA platform to improve its interaction mechanisms and get the most out of its functionalities.

Visual explanations are powerful means to convey information to large audiences. However, the design of information visualizations is a complex task, because a lot of factors are involved (the audience profile, the data domain, etc.). The complexity of this task can lead to poor designs that could make users reach wrong conclusions from the visualized data. This work illustrates the process of identifying features that could make an information visualization confusing or even misleading with the goal of arranging them into a meta-model. The meta-model provides a powerful resource to automatically generate information visualizations and dashboards that take into account not only the input data, but also the audience’s characteristics, the available data domain knowledge and even the data context.

Se ha llevado a cabo un estudio empírico en un municipio de España con nueve entidades del Tercer Sector que trabajan con mujeres víctimas de violencia de género con el objetivo de plantear una propuesta de intervención basada en la orientación sociolaboral, adecuada a las necesidades específicas de las destinatarias de las asociaciones participantes en el estudio. Para ello se ha investigado sobre el perfil laboral, formativo y familiar de las mujeres atendidas en las asociaciones y sobre las acciones de orientación sociolaboral desarrolladas en las entidades. El estudio se ha abordado desde la metodología cualitativa, con corte fenomenológico. Se han aplicado entrevistas semiestructuradas a cinco personas trabajadoras de las nueve entidades. Las cinco personas entrevistadas para el estudio prestan sus servicios a más de una de las entidades, por medio de la sinergia que se establece entre las asociaciones del Tercer Sector. Además de la información recogida a través de las entrevistas semiestructuradas, en otros casos, la información recogida, si bien no pudo ser grabada por protección de datos y privacidad, sí se recogió mediante memorias anuales facilitadas para el fin de la investigación. De esta manera, se contó con entrevistas y con material en formato de memorias; y mediante análisis clásico de contenido se han analizado los discursos y el contenido con el apoyo del CAQDAS Nvivo 12. Uno de los principales resultados del estudio ha sido el perfil de mujer atendida en el contexto; se trata mayormente de ciudadanas de nacionalidad española, de mediana edad, con responsabilidades familiares, en situación de desempleo y baja cualificación profesional. A partir de los discursos y los contenidos analizados se ha comprobado que, si bien algunas de las entidades desarrollan acciones sociolaborales, otras no cuentan con este servicio por carencia de recursos apropiados para el fin. Finalmente, se diseña una propuesta de intervención sociolaboral para potenciar la autonomía y empoderamiento de la mujer. La propuesta nace de las necesidades específicas del contexto y considerando el tejido social de la comunidad.

The current technological revolution has reached all social classes, and its educative use by teachers has gone noticed. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the six main international frameworks published from 2010 until now. The first objective of this work is to analyze these frameworks' contributions to understanding the development of this competence. The second objective is to determine whether there are any differences between these frameworks through strengths-weaknesses-opportunities-threats (SWOT) analysis. The main aim is to make it easier to integrate an assessment digital competence framework for teachers in other regions of the world that do not have their own framework. The analysis indicates that the six frames have coincidences and nuances in understanding the development of digital competence. This study shows that DigComp is subject to create consensus at the European level about the digital competence components, which can also serve as a conceptual reference model for other countries o educational institutions.

The paper introduces the competence framework produced by the OpenGame project, that includes the attitudes, knowledge and skills that educators need to master in order to work with Open Educational Practices (OEP). With this outcome, the OpenGame research team aims at closing the gap between the expanded interest of researchers and practitioners towards a holistic vision of open education and the absence of a shared competence framework that can cover both the creation and/or use of Open Educational resources (OER) and the broader realm of OEP. Starting from literature review complemented with the analysis of 24 open teaching practices, 8 competences have been defined, related to both OER and open pedagogies. The competences relating to OER are: use open licences; search for OER; create, revise, and remix OER; and share OER. The competences relating to open pedagogy are: design open educational experiences; guide students to learn in the open; teach with OER; and implement open assessment. The framework details the knowledge and skills that correspond to each competence and can serve both as a starting point to build educators’ capacities to work with open approaches and as a reflexion tool to better understand what it means to be an Open Educator in the 21st century.

Knowledge management is one of the key priorities of many organizations. They face different challenges in the implementation of knowledge management processes, including the transformation of tacit knowledge—experience, skills, insights, intuition, judgment and know-how—into explicit knowledge. Furthermore, the increasing number of information sources and services in some domains, such as healthcare, increase the amount of information available. Therefore, there is a need to transform that information in knowledge. In this context, learning ecosystems emerge as solutions to support knowledge management in a different context. On the other hand, the dashboards enable the generation of knowledge through the exploitation of the data provided from different sources. The model-driven development of these solutions is possible through two meta-models developed in previous works. Even though those meta-models solve several problems, the learning ecosystem meta-model has a lack of decision-making support. In this context, this work provides two main contributions to face this issue. First, the definition of a holistic meta-model to support decision-making processes in ecosystems focused on knowledge management, also called learning ecosystems. The second contribution of this work is an instantiation of the presented holistic meta-model in the healthcare domain.

W-STEM is a research project funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ program in order to develop concrete actions to modernise the government, management and operation of higher education institutions in Latin America to improve women’s access to STEM programs. Among the main objectives of the project, there is the development of a mobile app to be used in attraction campaigns conducted by the Latin American higher education institutions involved in the project. Specifically, the app aims to facilitate access to the role models of women in areas related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The main content inside the app will be a set of video interviews with women from different ages, cultural backgrounds, profiles, sharing their experiences about their careers, occupation and future plans. This work aims to describe the prototype of the mobile app and the exploratory study conducted with a group of students from secondary education to know their perceptions and opinions about the proposed app and the video interviews.

There is a critical gender gap in the STEM areas at all levels of education and the labour market. In this context, the European Union has included an increase in female participation in STEM as one of its priorities. It has funded a considerable amount of research projects, so a substantial number of institutions and organizations across Europe has worked on the same objective, but there are not an analysis of the proposals and achievements in all those research projects. This work aims to present an overview of the outputs from European research projects developed during the last five years related to the gender gap in STEM.

The gender gap in engineering careers is a well-known problem. Despite several studies showing the under-representation of women in STEM fields, few explore the factors that influence before entering and during the engineering studies, including the practices in the labor market. The support from the social context, such as family, friends, or teachers, can influence the attraction rates and dropout rates of the engineering studies. This paper presents a survey to analyze the gender and culture perceptions of supports in engineering studies, involving 208 female and male undergraduate students of engineering courses from Spain and Brazil. Some findings of this study show that the sample average (32.69%) followed the standard ratio of around 30% of women in STEM careers. Almost 70% of the female students decided to enroll in an engineering career during high school or vocational training courses. In Spain, the support of families and friends is higher than Brazil, but the support received from their academic institutions and teachers were low in both countries, regardless of gender. In the labor market, the male workers in Spain seem to be less supported than their female colleagues.

Young people are key drivers of new behaviors and understandings. Their participation in the society allows the integration of their ideas and constructive analysis to foster policies and innovative solutions in which technology are an intrinsic element. Citizen science can be used to give voice to children and young people through the development of citizenship and approach to scientific debate. In the European context, the WYRED project has developed a methodological framework to support the participation of young people in the Digital Society through social dialogues and the support of a technological ecosystem to allow internationalization. This work aims to lay the groundwork to transfer the WYRED framework to the Brazilian context through a case study conducted in the Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie. The study has allowed to identify the key topics that concern Brazilian young people in relation to desired social change: tolerance to different cultures/opinions; mental wellbeing; necessary changes in education (e.g. future-oriented education); self-image, self-confidence; and Internet safety & privacy.

The percentage of the population aged 65 and over is increasing during the last decades. It is one of the problems that the European health system, and in particular the Spanish system, has to face out. This increase is linked to the rising of dependent people, whose suffer progressive deterioration of both their physical and mental capacities. In this context, technology plays a key role in improving the quality of life, not only of older people but also their caregivers. A technological ecosystem to support patients with mental illness, their caregivers, and the connection with their relatives was developed in previous works. This solution is prepared to evolve according to the users’ and organization’s needs. In this sense, the present work describes the inclusion of a new software tool, an online sales platform that promotes active ageing, seeking that it can be used and managed by older people who may have cognitive impairment problems. Although there are many e-commerce platforms on the market, they not consider users with special needs. The objective has not been to develop a software prototype from scratch, but to focus on aspects relating to accessibility and usability to improve online stores and apply these improvements to an existing solution, following the philosophy of Open Source software development. This work aims to describe the definition process itself.

The aim of this article is to study how students currently understand the conception of space through different media and how that understanding helps them to intervene in the space. Firstly, the process of teaching and learning as well as innovative supporting technologies are analysed, revealing the characteristics of the contemporary student profile and better ways of teaching according to it. Secondly, we describe the evaluation of an experiment with a virtual reality (VR) system for urban project design with students of architecture from two universities. The premise is that the technology used in VR is familiar to the current profile of students. This paper aims to study the advantages and disadvantages of this trend and to find a balance. To do so, we use a quantitative method to evaluate students' profiles and their level of satisfaction with the system. The results were obtained by a questionnaire and a survey, which show the role and use of technologies in the students' environment and the degree of satisfaction when using it in the educational processes. In line with our assumptions, the value of satisfaction in the use of an advanced visualization technology in the classroom reveals a high level of motivation, in general, with differentiation between students in their first and last phases of studies.

Young people are distinguished as a social group with the capacity to drive new behaviours and understandings in today’s society. However, most young people consider that people in charge of decision-making processes are not addressing their concerns. The WYRED project proposes a framework for citizen science based on a technological ecosystem to promote the transfer of perspectives, ideas, and knowledge among young people and decision-makers on issues related to the digital society. The work goal is to analyse the model proposed through a citizen science case study centred in identifying the ideas and opinions of children and young people between 7 and 30 years old, concerning gender stereotypes on the Internet. A total of 69 children and young people from Belgium, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom have interacted for two weeks in a private space guaranteed by the defined ecosystem. The results of the analysis of the interaction between young people and facilitators (with different profiles: educators, researchers and decision-makers) demonstrate that the use of technological ecosystems to sustain the development of citizen science projects allows for the improvement of knowledge transfer processes between children and young people with stakeholders, as well as the analysis of these processes.
