We’ve prepared a poll about the technologies that we as researchers in Education should keep an eye on.
Please tell us your opinion. You can see the results by clicking “view results”.
Thanks!

I think e-Books are the most likely to meliorate Engineering Education in future

I believe that M-learning is a good solution to learn in the future.
Thank you for this Poll. It gives an idea about the vision in general.

I think that the mix of all technologies correctly adapted and integrated are going to elaborate the new future engineering education
Good job!.

e-books is a traditional concept of e-learning, however it remains a main component of distance Learning. On my point of view, virtual e-labs and social networks allow a full involvement of learning actors in activities and they are beneficial since learners recapture information and skills from different ways.

Engineering education should be informed by current and prospective professional practice in engineering and in other fields that engineering graduates typically enter. We should keep an eye on technologies that can help to appreciate and engage with that professional practice. This includes all of the listed technologies, plus technologies for tracking changes in practice and changes in goals; technologies for rapid acquisition of new knowledge and skills; and technologies for personal knowledge management and personal growth.

Due to the spread of the Internet, the remote labs and e-learning sustained with the e-books will dominate in short time the learning environment.
I consider this as natural development of the field. Other manners of improvement which depend by the politics or by administrative management will be more and more h=eavy to be implemented. The freedom ensured by the Internet is the most important engine of learning environment

It seems to me that educational pedagogy underpins all the topics that we deal with, BUT, it is knowledge that we have the least research about. Learning theory (pedagogy) will facilitate how we deliver knowledge from a model-based domain to learners. Our teaching methods have, essentially, been unchanged from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Those theories are autistic in that they do not function based upon the learner’s state of knowledge acquisition. We must devise new theories of learning that will facilitate a means of delivering knowledge; we must do this as the face-to-face theories are ineffective.

ICT constitute a good opportunity to improve technology learning but it is necessary to remind that a lot of work is to be done.
Virtual labs must be used but to achieve good learning results they must be combined with a good tutorial.

E-books can foster student motivation to read more, but I think reading text (independently of the device) don’t improve the student’s learning experience more than practical and experimental things like a remote laboratory
I think virtual and remote laboratories will be a fundamental piece of the future educational engineering puzzle. On the other hand, student’s engagement can be obtained through the use of mobile devices, by using new interfaces in new environment (out-of-the-classroom experiences) that are fully supported by these wireless devices.
Finally, open learning objects will have a deep impact in the way we see education today, as more content is being added to this initiative. Probably this technology will not impact straight to formal engineering education. It will support a new non-institutional learning experience, focused on vocational students that don’t have easy access to this quality knowledge for economic, temporal, or spatial reasons.
