Concern is on how these resources can enhance the teaching-learning process. Video games are an alternative, given that they present an opportunity to work on different themes in a motivating way. Children and young people can access the different contents by critically analyzing the information presented and acting accordingly. The video game Raíces is an innovative tool in social sciences, offering a ludic environment, making the learning process more attractive and motivating than with traditional methods. This article describes the experience of using Raíces in the primary school classroom. We hope that Raíces will help to spread knowledge and to become aware of the problems of native people, seeking to strengthen the conception of Argentina as a multiethnic country.","PeriodicalId":278097,"journal":{"name":"2017 Twelfth Latin American Conference on Learning Technologies (LACLO)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127134663","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}

This training phase is carried out within the framework of a research project: “Didactic and technological development in teaching scenarios for the training of teachers who welcome diversity: factors for its implementation and validation at the Francisco José de Caldas District University (UDFJC) “. This is a research developed within the framework of the AIDETC (Alliance of Institutions for the Development of Education and Technology in Colombia) a research program co-financed by Colciencias; the program aims to create a pedagogical, didactic and technological architecture for the training of teachers in and for diversity. The objective of this phase was the training of teachers in the creation of accessible courses in ATutor, following a research methodology based on design. Twenty-nine teacher-training teachers from Language, Mathematics and Science communities participated in this phase. As a result, it is possible to obtain a series of accessible courses published in the LMS ATutor and tested in natural scenarios with the undergraduate students of the UDFJC.","PeriodicalId":278097,"journal":{"name":"2017 Twelfth Latin American Conference on Learning Technologies (LACLO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129908645","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}

This proposal is intended to support people, playing different roles, interested in using, creating or adapting OER. It is hoped that through the test descriptions, producing teams or individual creators would be able to design new OER based on quality standards, as well as to modify existing OER that had previously passed through quality assurance tests. Institutions that use OER or create them may also adopt these references for their internal purposes in order to ensure the quality and testability of their OER. The same way, final users as teachers and students would be able to assess OER quality before using or modifying them. Thus, the purpose of this article is to provide a conceptual framework for OER testing based on the concept of Software Quality, taking into account the different types of OER and the adherence of pre-existing tests to each kind of OER.","PeriodicalId":278097,"journal":{"name":"2017 Twelfth Latin American Conference on Learning Technologies (LACLO)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126546392","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}
