These skills go beyond the academic environment because it is necessary for successful integration into the labor market. Therefore, this work aims to generate collaborative experiences to produce original texts. The methodology applied is two activities scheduled during the 2019–I academic semester: the advance and final document; hence, it was established to use plagiarism software to submit academic papers and create collaborative experiences to contrast their errors and seek collaborative strategies to raise observations. Results contributed significantly to both competencies, since there is an increase in the average of the classroom of 3.05 in the production of texts; and as well as the decrease in the percentage of copy in the final presentation of the academic text of initial research to the 20% of similarity as opposed to the 50% of similarity of the majority of students in the first presentation.","PeriodicalId":111811,"journal":{"name":"2022 XVII Latin American Conference on Learning Technologies (LACLO)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124539891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AlfaDatizando allows the creation, resolution, and feedback of data visualization activities without the need to use another platform. It also allows sharing didactic sequences and data sources with the educational community registered in the platform.

The UI that offers a good User Experience (UX) is the one that makes the interaction as simple and efficient as possible for the user to achieve the previously desired goals. In this way, web interfaces that have adaptive interfaces tend to offer a better UX, as they seek to adapt to the needs and desires of users. Therefore, this paper carries out a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to identify the most used algorithms for the development of Adaptive Web Interfaces (AWI). The results indicate that the use of Machine Learning (ML) techniques, both to improve the performance of some task and to induce results, are the most popular ways to develop AWI. During the execution of SLR, 294 articles were analyzed using automated and manual searches, and inclusion, exclusion and quality criteria were applied to them.

This was possible thanks to different factors that gave continuity to the educational processes of that year: the consolidation of the Virtual Learning Environments (VLE), as widely used spaces throughout the educational community, the deployment of highly trained human resources in charge of the VLE in each educational technology service and a basic technological infrastructure. This article tries to give an account of the state of the human resources associated with the educational technology services, its main characteristics. In addition, an approach to what has been the development of their tasks in the context of a health emergency is presented. A mixed methods study was carried out during the second semester of 2020 and first semester of 2021. The results obtained show a consolidation of the educational technologists role in the university. A greater visibility of the tasks they perform due to the increase in demand by the educational community caused by the Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) was highlighted. However, no significant increases have been made in the assigned workloads or in new hires to enable a greater response from the educational technology services around the digital education activities during COVID 19 ERT.

The new scientific paradigms of open science already require that supporting data be published when an article is published. This paper presents an analysis of opinions about the knowledge and practices of open research data, in a group of researchers in education from LATAM. From this analysis, we highlight that nearly half of those consulted do not know about open data repositories, and only about a quarter upload data to repositories. However, the attitude regarding the advantages that these practices could give them resulted very positive.
