    Managing information (knowledge?) and fostering information literacy in higher education students: Baby steps to make

    Image
    There are many educational approaches related to how educators should teach in order to promote a meaningful learning in their students. It is still common to see that many educators stick to the idea that their knowledge means power in classroom settings, where no doubt is allowed since the one who can ask the question is the professor. Technologies have brought new ways of writing and communication. All Internet users, despite their background or profile, are able to add more information in the cloud (Internet). Every single day, the amount of information uploaded to Internet is massive and, as users, it is impossible to embrace it. This information is being created by different type of users, for multiple purposes (connect with other people, communicate an idea, marketing, fun, debate about a topic, share new academic content/research findings, news, trending content, among others) and in a diversity of formats (images, texts, videos, audio, etc.).

    Communicating effectively in online contexts - Designing experiences with technology to promote digital citizenship

    Image
    Fostering Digital Citizenship is crucial in the XXI century. The current education system is not completely responding to this need, and it is necessary to design experiences across the curriculum to help students to become digital citizens. One of the components of becoming a digital citizen is to be able to use technology in an ethical way. This is, being able to communicate properly in online contexts, being careful to be respectful and mindful of other people's beliefs, ideas, cultural background and point of views of a particular topic. Online hate has become a critical issue in our society and one of the main reason this is happening is because the lack of ability to tolerate or respect opinions or ideologies different than ours. For this reason, I can think of some opportunities that can be executed inside and outside of classroom contexts to help students develop this abilities.

    Potential of Distance Education to Reduce Learning Gaps in Higher Education: A Look to the Colombian Case

    Image
    Sale vector created by macrovector - www.freepik.com One of the main needs of Latin America, besides education coverage, is to reduce learning gaps in higher education. In order to respond to such need, many strategies have been designed, worldwide, to impact the demand and provision of higher education programs. Among these strategies, we can find grants and scholarships, financial aids, and others. Many have been the options that have been proposed to raise the provision of higher education programs, such as offering technology-supported education modalities like blended-learning, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), and distance and online education. This paper aims to explore the potential of the provision of distance education programs to close learning gaps in Colombia’s higher education.  In order to do so, we present an estimation of the effects that students and program's characteristics can have on the results of the test “Saber PRO” (a Colombian standardized test that me
