3. SUMMARY Our world is in continuous change, and inside the Engineering Education arena we
saw those changes arising mainly in the recent years. Teaching methodologies are
evolving such as remote, pocket and virtual laboratories, MOOCs and blended
learning, among others like learning analytics, big data, artificial intelligence or
machine learning, assessment and engagement, they will be analyzed and connected.
Those activities and learning technologies are impacting Engineering Education
some of them in a softly way, some of them in a disruptive way, but always adding
new ideas, methods and best practices to the world of the engineering and education.
The evolution of teaching through face-to-face, distance learning and now online
learning will be linked to the increasing use of technology in teaching, analyzing the
main critical factors in the EHEA as changes followed by other areas like Middle East,
North Africa, USA, LatinAmerica and Australasia. This evolution is a key driving
factor towards blended learning and jumping to Open Education (OERs, OCW and
MOOCs) which are caused today by a change in the higher education paradigm
pushed by the international crisis as well as the in-depth refurbishing of the public
and private university roles in the different education steps and in life-long learning.
New (and old) advances on the area of intelligence bring new changes on
employability, lifelong educational or vocational training are part of our new world,
where social intelligence is day to day part of our lives
5. Technology and Education Relation ?
Good teaching may overcome a poor choice of
technology but technology will never save bad
teaching
https://www.tonybates.ca/
Learning online requires students with self-
discipline and able to work to a self-managed
schedule. This takes training and practice.
And are times for online and for traditional
Personal priorities in online learning:
1. increasing access and flexibility
2. developing 21st century skills
3. reducing inequalities in the education system
4. increasing the cost-effectiveness of education

44. Open: from the Learning Objects (LO) to OCW and to MOOCs
Learning Object: IEEE Standard (educational object)
Metadata must include all the information the user must need
Learning object repositories are the best way to share knowledge
(UNED repository, MERLOT, etc.)
Learning objects are the best way to solve:
• Interoperability
• Reusability
• Automatic updates
• Personalization
