Education Secretary, Bogotá
5th IEEE EDUCATION INTERNATIONAL PANEL
HIGH QUALITY AND PRODUCTIVITY TO THE COMPETITIVENESS OF ENGINEERING EDUCATION
The design and implementation of MOOCs as an instrument for Teaching High Productivity
Aims and Scope: To promote the exchange of research and organizational and academic experiences regarding the EDUCATION in engineering and technology in Colombia and Latin America Region 9.
The 5th PANEL EDUCATIONAL IEEE International, organized by the IEEE EDUCATION SOCIETY COLOMBIA CHAPTER, seeks to provide an offer to high scientific-technical and cultural city of Bogotá and the LA region impact, also intends to integrate the Colombian AVID of new educational methodologies applicable to engineering education and technology, in a space that will allow teachers and researchers to socialize with state of the art in these fields of knowledge. The successful incursion by MOOCs (Massively Open Online Courses) in the world is witnessing profound changes in education and pedagogy supported by ICT in the Third Millennium.
The recent study - in pursuit of Teaching Excellence, which conducted the Share Foundation focuses on Teaching as a guarantor of the Constitutional Right to Education. They have generated many expectations on specific support but many questions: Are we to continue educating using methods and tools of the nineteenth and twentieth century? Obviously believe that education is the key to face the backwardness and poverty. How to take advantage of this moment?
For the Government, the 5th International Panel is a space for the presentation of policies towards the democratization of knowledge to ensure the participation of the State, to a Higher Education with criterion of excellence, equity and competitiveness through the generation and dissemination of knowledges and insights with autonomy and vocation to the sociocultural and scientific-technical development.
