HETS would like to highlight and celebrate the outstanding work of its member institutions in meaningfully and strategically using technology to achieve Hispanic student success. Taking place in January 14 and 15, the 2016 HETS Best Practices Showcase will focus on three main tracks:access,retention and, assessment.
HETS has defined a “best practice” as an innovative approach or strategy that, with the effective use of technology, has proven to increase recruitment, promote student success, improve student retention and completion, and provide institutions with viable, effective, and efficient approaches to assessment. Overall, it will be a celebration of innovative technology strategies in Higher Education focused on impacting the Hispanic student population by enhancing retention, college completion, and successful learning outcomes. Certainly, HETS member institutions are experts in dealing with the Hispanic population and finding ways to provide them with opportunities to succeed, and we want to open a space for them to share this expertise. Once again, attendees will be not only able to learn from the showcased works, but also find solutions to many common issues and even established new possibilities for collaboration with other institutions and potential partners.

Southern New Hampshire University has become the latest institution to team up with a major employer to make online courses a benefit of employment.
A partnership between Southern New Hampshire and Anthem Inc., a health-insurance company, will allow some 55,000 Anthem employees to earn associate or bachelor’s degrees through the university’s College for America, a competency-based assessment program.
The announcement is one of several recent deals between a college and a corporation that will expand higher-education opportunities for employees at no or reduced cost, following a high-profile deal, announced last year, between Starbucks and Arizona State University. On Monday, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles announced a similar arrangement with Strayer University.

Hemos comentado en muchas ocasiones cómo las redes sociales han cambiado por completo la forma en la que nos relacionamos, tanto en el mundo online como también cuando coincidimos o nos desvirtualizamos en el mundo offline. Imaginemos, por ejemplo, cómo han modificado por completo la forma de organizar y de atender a cualquier evento. Empecemos por lo básico: lo primero es convocar a los asistentes.
Antes había que enviarles una carta, una invitación formal con días o semanas de antelación… Ahora basta con crear un grupo en Facebook o tuitear la invitación para que aquellos interesados acudan, de manera fácil y sencilla. No digamos ya cómo ayudan a la hora de desarrollar la promoción y difusión del evento.

Los diferentes artículos que componen este monográfico especial de RELATEC nos permiten orientar nuestra mirada hacia los problemas fundamentales que los diferentes expertos desvelan acerca del fenómeno de la formación universitaria en Tecnología Educativa. Las claves ofrecidas en este número merecen una lectura pausada y comprensiva que nos permita seguir avanzando, generando nuevos enfoques y aplicando prácticas innovadoras, que redunden en un cambio radical de nuestros sistemas educativos. No debemos olvidar que la tecnología «no es solo la cosa, sino la cosa y las pautas de uso con que se la aplica, la forma en que la gente piensa y habla sobre ella, así como los problemas y expectativas cambiantes que genera» (Burbules & Callister, 2001, p. 23, cursiva de los autores).

Imagine yourself living some two million years ago. Your survival would have been mainly through hunting and food gathering. Slowly, as the human species evolved, (around 70,000 to 80,000 years ago), they started hunting small game. The word ‘game’ here means any animal hunted for food. The term game was used as a medieval hunting terminology in the late 13th century. It has its origin from the old English word ‘gamen’ which means joy, sport, or amusement. Then, as man evolved to the agrarian stage, around 12,000 years ago, he learned to domesticate a few animals and, alongside, grow crops. This was the time when hunting started to become a sport and also a source of food. And gradually, man started inventing different types of games and sports for various purposes. Now you may wonder what the difference between a sport and a game is. A sport is usually a physical activity. But some non-physical activities like chess and bridge are called mind sports. Games, on the other hand, can be physical or mental. All sports are games, but not all games are sports.

El Proyecto Noah es una plataforma online colaborativa diseñada para acercarnos al mundo natural. La característica más interesante de esta herramienta, desarrollada dentro del Programa de Telecomunicaciones Interactivas de la Universidad de Nueva York, es que no solo permite la observación de la flora y la fauna de todo el mundo, sino también el registro de los seres vivos que nos rodean
Si eres fan de uno de los juegos más populares de los últimos tiempos, sí me refiero a Minecraft, es posible que te guste crear tus propios logotipos y textos con la apariencia y estilo (8-bit) de este mítico juego.

Gamification has become a trending concept in online courses for the past 10 or more years. Based on the analysis of psychological and social factors that make electronic games highly used in today’s population, gamification suggests ways to improve education course innovation, student engagement, student motivation, student critical thinking, and student decision-making. The question is, “Is it effective?” This paper evaluates an online graduate course in business administration at a state university with a majority Hispanic student population to determine if the concept is effective as a teaching strategy option.

I am delighted to present the Spring Issue of the V Volume of this publication. The HETS journal has been characterized because it addresses relevant topics impacting technology and Hispanic Students; this Issue is not an exception. This Issue offers a range of topics like: information that documents the use of review workshops in a gatekeeper course, the effectiveness of gaming as a teaching strategy, and the importance of open educational resources. There are updates to a previous study on distance education, thoughts on metalectura (the process of reading texts effectively), the structuring of hybrid and online courses, and the use of learner profiling to predict the likelihood of choosing e-learning courses.
