Whether you believe mobile and social media represent a cultural revolution or a technology evolution, or perhaps both, a change is happening. People are accepting the fact that cell phones and smart phones can and will make your life easier to manage; especially when you're in a pinch.
The new culture of immediate information through social media, apps and web browsing phones is allowing people to gain access to information more quickly than ever before, and the latest Pew Research sheds an immediate light on just that. It also represents a huge opportunity for inbound marketers.

New medical training app being developed by game developers for DARPA

Video and computer games are something that most children living in the developed world have been exposed to. From the early days of Super Mario on the Nintendo Entertainment System, to the engrossing, cinematic-like titles that are part of today’s game consoles and computers, gaming is something that is familiar to many.

Because of this, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) wants to tap into this gaming expertise to apply the interactive techniques found in video games to create an educational app that can be used on mobile devices that will specifically teach medical first responders.

A Glimpse of Your Future Workforce – Now in Middle School — Janet Clarey

A Glimpse of Your Future Workforce – Now in Middle School — Janet Clarey | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

Six months ago Thomas Suarez, a 6th grader from Los Angeles, spoke at a TEDS event about the making and sale of an “app” he created on his own – “Bustin Jieber” (a whack-a-mole type anti-Justin-Bieber game.) (There’s nearly 2 million views of the video on YouTube so you may have seen it.) Anyway, he’s quite eloquent and now owns his own company. While he’s clearly much further ahead than the majority of 6th graders I know, his actions offer a glimpse of our future workforce.

Curso sobre preparación de propuestas y herramientas de acceso a licitaciones internacionales de proyectos de cooperación para el desarrollo

Curso sobre preparación de propuestas y herramientas de acceso a licitaciones internacionales de proyectos de cooperación para el desarrollo | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

Se puede registrar para el próximo ciclo.

 

Organismos e instituciones multilaterales y agencias de cooperación como la Unión Europea, Naciones Unidas, el Banco Mundial, los bancos de desarrollo regional BID, BAD, BAFD, AECID, USAID, etc., financian proyectos de asistencia técnica internacional y cooperación al desarrollo en diferentes países.

 

El procedimiento comúnmente utilizado para adjudicar la ejecución de estos proyectos es el de licitación pública. Cada uno de estos organismos financiadores tiene sus propios procedimientos e idiosincrasia, pero el recurso a la licitación como sistema de adjudicación para la mayoría de los proyectos que se financian es compartido por todos. El éxito en los procesos de licitación es la llave para acceder a la implementación de estos proyectos y para ello resulta imprescindible manejarse con soltura en las distintas etapas del ciclo de la licitación.

Este curso proporciona una visión general del ciclo de la licitación, desde la identificación de oportunidades, hasta la preparación de propuestas, pasando por la constitución de consorcios multinacionales, desde una perspectiva práctica basada en ejemplos reales.


A partir de la presente capacitación los participantes estarán en disposición de:

Conocer en qué consiste el ámbito de las licitaciones internacionales de proyectos de cooperación al desarrollo.Determinar el interés y la potencialidad del mismo.Delimitar las características, procedimientos y aspectos operativos más importantes.Aprender los pasos iniciales para desenvolverse en este mercado.Conocer el know-how y las metodologías imprescindibles para tener éxito.Adquirir información suficiente para diseñar una estrategia de implantación.Dominar los pormenores prácticos más relevantes en la preparación de propuestas.

The Effect of Online Homework Due Dates on College Student Achievement in Elementary Algebra | Raines | Journal of Studies in Education

This quasi-experimental study examined the use of online homework in a college elementary algebra course to determine if homework due dates made a difference in students’ mathematics achievement as measured by unit tests and an end of course final exam. The extent to which homework was completed and possible gender differences in performance were also investigated. Participants in this study were students (n = 58) enrolled in three sections of the course during fall 2010 and spring 2011 semesters. The control group consisted of students who had all unit homework due the night before the unit test, and the study group had homework due throughout the unit testing period. Results of a two-way ANOVA revealed no significant differences in test grades between the two groups and an unpaired t-test showed no significant differences in final exam grades. Additionally, gender appeared to have no significant effect on academic performance either.

New Video: Twitter for Business - Explained by Common Craft | Common Craft

New Video: Twitter for Business - Explained by Common Craft | Common Craft | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

Twitter has been a big part of the Common Craft story. In 2008 we made a video called Twitter in Plain English that was present on the Twitter home page for over a year, introducing millions to both Twitter and Common Craft. Since that time Twitter has evolved in many ways. As it became a powerful way to track news and discover information, we made a video on Twitter Search. Now that it’s become a powerful business tool, we’re publishing a new video called Twitter for Business, which explains how businesses are putting Twitter to work. Together, these make a nice pack of Twitter videos for use in training and education.
