Tutoring is one of the methodological resources which has undoubtedly experienced a deepest evolution since the implantation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Tutorial conception as a merely legal obligation to address students' doubts has given rise to the use of tutorials as one of the most useful methods to develop certain skills and competences, in addition to its contribution to the learning of the subject in which they are inserted. This paper analyzes, from the perspective of developed innovative teaching experiences, the evolution of traditional mentoring until the current use that can be made of them as an interactive forum of equals, and, moreover, suggesting a classification. Finally, this paper shows a new breakthrough in the role of tutoring supported on new technologies as a suitable means of contrasting opinions, encouraging critical thinking and building student's autonomous thought.

This paper deals with the problem of politics in cyberspace. It deals with the hypothesis of a new and distinct institutional aspect that can be called "cyber-politics". This dimension is based on two founding forces: on one hand, the role of computer code in building the communicational network architecture (internet). On the other hand, the role of virtual communities as subjects that are constrained by this architecture but at the same time can modify it. These communities are organized by networked governance systems that make the cy-ber-political power horizontal, nevertheless they are no out of conflict. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is a very important the classification of the Cubans petroleum, and stiller, the determination of its destination, to make more efficient its use. The objetive of this paper is to carry out a procedure to get a classification of the Cuban petroleum. For this it was analyzed the nature of the national data of the raw ones and their attributes, which consisted initially of 30 attributes with 54 samples of petroleum and it was determined to process them as attributes divided by intervals. The recognition patterns tools were applied to classify the Cuban petroleum in five established groups: Slight, Medium, Semi-heavy, Heavy and Extra-heavy. The most representative attributes were selected starting from the Informative Weight. Five cases were recognized that were in contradiction with their defined locations initially in the Learning Matrix, these eliminations were justified. The strict similarity was used as proximity measure among the cases. The magnitude of the Learning Matrix was of 22 attributes and 49 cases. Finally, an automatic program was designed for the classification of the raw ones and 98.0% of effectiveness was obtained in the classification of the Control Matrix of 49 samples of Cuban petroleum.

This paper is focused on the selfassessment trough e-rubrics. Rubrics as an instrument of self-assessment involve a process of reflection that can contribute to increase the involvement and awareness of their own achievements. Here we wanted to engage students from the design and creation of rubric through a collaborative process of building an e-rubric by the students and the teacher. In this study, undergraduate students of Pedagogy participated in an elective subject in their third year. It was developed in several stages in a semester: training for using e-rubrics, designing and construction of e-rubrics, using the e-rubric as a tool for self-assessment and filling a final questionnaire to collect their views. It's important to consider that when we work with innovative strategies of assessment, students have to know not only the features of the instrument but also they have to know the influence to improve their learning processes and they have to achieve the ability to incorporate it to their own skills as education professionals. As main result, students highlighted the importance of rubrics to guide their learning processes and to reflect about it and the capacity of rubric to predict their performance in the subject.

This paper takes as a basis the existence of an Informatics Technological Centre, implanted in a Research Complex, which is based on an architecture of agents and provides users with updated information, mechanisms of alerts and ease in finding information with a proactive behavior. Despite all these facilities provided, this Technological Observatory has lacks of functionalities for monitoring trends and indicators related to research topics. It is proposed to use Business Intelligence elements, such as dashboards, plus social modeling approach and i* to model the Observatory with new functionality to improve support decision making. As a result i* models are obtained where Technological Observatory requirements following a goal-oriented approach are captured. In these models the actors, goals, tasks and resources needed to incorporate elements of the dashboards in the Technology Centre are incorporated following an architecture of agents.

Among the digital tools designed for educational purposes, virtual laboratories are outstanding because of their visual impact and animation features that simulate a real laboratory environment. This paper analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of using virtual laboratories as a supplementary activity in theoretical/practical courses. The analysis led to the generation of an implementation proposal that includes simulation to create a setting of blended learning (b-learning): a mixture of classroom and virtual activities that promotes independent study and collaborative work. The resource has great potential that most teachers have yet to address, although it is available online free of charge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
