Agile methodologies are reliable engineering and management practices, capable of helping in the development of quality and successful software in business environments. However, most of these methodologies are centered on a development team and its internal communication. Moreover, for simplicity, a single product development is taken into account with its successive releases. There is another scenario: that of a single programmer working alone and often in much smaller projects and in several at the same time. Also in this scenario the client proximity is not as described by the agile environment ideal. In that case, the priorities and needs change, communication takes on another meaning and working mechanisms are not always comparable to that of a team. This paper introduces Faat (Freelance as a Team), a methodology specifically designed for those professionals. Integrating existing practices to the needs and possibilities of an individual programmer. However, it has been frequently considered the possible application of this methodology to small teams and/or other more general scenarios. This methodology has been tested in the web-based learning applications. 2015-10-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/127281 [EN]This is the presentation of the paper entitled “Definition of a Technological Ecosystem for Scientific Knowledge Management in a PhD Programme” in the TEEM 2015 International Conference held in Porto (Portugal) in October 7-9, 2015. 2015-10-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/127280 [EN]Presentation of the VALS (Virtual Alliances for Learning Society) European Project in the TEEM 2015 International Conference that was held at the ISEP of Porto, Portugal on October 8th, 2015 2015-10-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/126543 This is the presentation of the paper entitled “Design of an innovative approach based on Service Learning for Information Technology Governance Teaching” in the TEEM 2015 International Conference held in Porto (Portugal) in October 7-9, 2015. Service learning is an approach that integrates social service into an academic setting. We present a design for a subject that uses a service learning based orientation to teach Information Technology Government based on the experiences of two different Informatics Engineering Masters Degree in two different universities. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/126535 [EN] This is the presentation of the paper entitled “Learning services-based technological ecosystems” in the TEEM 2015 International Conference held in Porto (Portugal) in October 7-9, 2015. The gap between technology and learning methods has two important implications: on the one hand, we should not expect the integration of technological advances into teaching to be an easy task; and there is a danger that mature educational technologies and methods might not give an adequate answer to the demands and needs of society, underusing their transforming potential to improve learning processes. This study discusses the need for a new technological environment supporting learning services, and proposes the concept of the technological learning ecosystem as a solution to both problems. Educational ecosystems should be able to break the technological constraints of existing learning platforms and achieve an effective improvement in learning processes. Our proposed educational ecosystems pivot around five specific lines of action: 1) a framework architecture that supports learning service-based ecosystems; 2) learning analytics for educational decision making; 3) adaptive knowledge systems; 4) gamification of learning processes; 5) semantic portfolios to collect evidence of learning. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/126515 [EN] This is the presentation of the paper entitled “Educational Innovation Management. A Case Study at the University of Salamanca” in the TEEM 2015 International Conference held in Porto (Portugal) in October 7-9, 2015. This paper is devoted to present the implantation of a repository for educational innovation projects management at the University of Salamanca in Spain. This repository stores the selected best practices of educational innovation in this University and classifies them according a set of indicators that have been previously agreed. The paper explains the processes to define the indicators and their application to a set of selected projects that have been stored in the repository. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10366/126514 This is the presentation of the paper entitled “Open access repositories as channel of publication scientific grey literature” in the TEEM 2015 International Conference held in Porto (Portugal) in October 7-9, 2015. In this paper we describe how the open access repositories are valid channels for the publication of scientific grey literature. Technological development facilitates the communication of scientific knowledge, allowing expand distribution channels and significantly reducing transmission costs of the investigation. There are new paradigms of scientific communication such as open access repositories that must be exploited to provide academic and research free content, so that the scientific production is globally accessible to society. The aim of this study is to report the benefits of scientific communication model through open access repositories, especially the benefits for scientific grey literature, using as an example the theses deposited in open access and distributed through GREDOS, Institutional Repository of the University of Salamanca. We present the fundamentals, the state of the art, trends and benefits of open access, understood as a radical change in the system of scientific communication. Open Access repositories are a new way to disseminate scientific grey literature so that this literature can achieve maximum dissemination and visibility, increasing the rate of citation. Currently the movement for open access is sufficiently consolidated. Repositories are a key element in the development of this movement, offering multiple benefits, like visibility and citation, to authors, institutions and the general public. Doctoral theses disseminated through the repositories increase their use, visibility and consequently their rate of citation, while contributing to the public good. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z
