Title- —Teaching Analytics is an emerging and challenging field of research that can have a great impact on educational design methodologies as well as on deliveries by teachers to students. In this work, we analyze the most relevant literature on the subject. Four axes for work were identified: first, integration of learning and teaching analytics; second, multimodal analysis or analysis of data collected by devices in real time in the classroom; third, digital literacy in analytics for teachers; and fourth, planning and evaluation of teaching activities. Several limitations and challenges were found for the advancement of the teaching analytics area, but the most relevant limitation is the temporary separation between the delivery and the analysis of their results, in addition to not having a standard measure of student performance. The most important challenge is the registration and multimodal analysis in real time for the taking of action of the teacher in an immediate form.

Title- This paper presents a teaching tool for modeling and control of dynamical systems using the project-based learning approach. This approach allows engineering and basic science students, develop skills in programming, electronic design, using fundamental physics to model and control complex dynamic systems. The tool consists of a code generator that automatically writes a program for the Arduino board in order to obtain the mathematical model of the dynamic system from experimental data and implement a suitable controller. This tool was tested in the course of Identification and simulation of Systems, of the Universidad del Cauca, proving to be a quick and easy tool for students learning program in Industrial Automation Engineering

Title- — Augmented Reality (RA) combines real and digital image, and it is becoming a new immersive source to provide data building people's knowledge. The research analyses its real possibilities, through a bibliometric analysis carried out on recent research, and a descriptive essay on the characteristics of 100 RA Apps. The results conclude several emerging lines, different user profiles and the most suitable areas for these techniques, the emergence of new immersive methodologies, and their different perspectives. The empirical descriptive essay reveals the limitations that these technologies really offer in the structured construction of knowledge.

Title- —Las herramientas son un soporte esencial en cualquier actividad humana. A medida que la tecnología avanza, podemos diseñar herramientas más avanzadas que nos ayuden a realizar las actividades de manera más eficiente. Recientemente, hemos visto avances en los dos componentes principales de las herramientas, la interfaz y el motor computacional que hay detrás. Las interfaces naturales nos permiten comunicarnos con las herramientas de una forma más adaptada a los humanos. En relación con el motor, estamos pasando del paradigma de la computación a otro basado en la inteligencia artificial, que aprende a medida que se utiliza. En este documento, examinamos cómo estos avances tecnológicos tienen un impacto en la educación, lo que conduce a entornos de aprendizaje inteligentes (smart learning environments).

Index Terms- — interfaces naturales, inteligencia artificial, aprendizaje profundo, entornos de aprendizaje inteligentes, realidades mixtas.

Title- Teaching of parallel programming to undergraduate computer science students can now be considered an inexcusable need. The current hardware platforms, which incorporate multiple cores and several execution threads, demand it. Notwithstanding the above, the teaching of parallelism through examples and classical algorithms, makes our students find it hard and complex. On the other hand, to teach through the techniques of gamification, has already demonstrated in a reliable way a positive reinforcement of the student in front of the learning of complex concepts. This work shows an experience developed by us to convey the teaching of parallelism to undergraduate students by gamification in microworlds. Results obtained by the students who followed this model, compared to a control group that followed the standard model, show a statistically significant advantage in favor of the teaching of parallelism, using a gamification with microworlds model.

Title- The use of new technologies in university education is indispensable for promoting the autonomous work and motivation of a new generation of students who use technology frequently and skillfully. For these reasons, integrated technology into teaching-learning processes is needed. Our study focused on the implementation of the Flipped Learning model (FL) in the Research Methodology course. The content and the activities for the Pre-class and class were designed to develop the skills and competencies in the students and to propose a research design. For the first execution, open-access videos were used. After analyzing the first execution, the results showed the need to make personal videos, that include the exact content, making them more attractive for the students as well as to use strategies to ensure that the students prepare the pre-class appropriately. In conclusion, the model encourages students to include technologies as learning tools, adapt their schedules to take better advantage of classes, and apply the knowledge taught in videos to their classwork.

Title- —In this paper a methodology for teaching and learning the modelling of embedded systems and in a more generic vision cyber-physical systems is presented. To this end, a subset of tools from UML is used in an intuitive and ordered way starting with an informal description of the system until implementation details are obtained. However, the codification of the system is left out as the programming language depends on the hardware platform to be used. The method have been used in grade courses for several years now with an important accumulated experience that shows how students are able to adopt it and learn to elicitate the different types of requirements, actors and functions.
