Title- A methodology for continuous improvement of Learning Management Systems
Abstract- Currently most on-campus universities provide an LMS to support teaching and learning. Although most of them gather usage statistics, these are rarely used to improve the quality of education. In this paper, a data analysis methodology is proposed. This methodology facilitates a continuous improvement of the LMS, and includes an inferential analysis which relates usage statistics to educational innovation and quality. This makes it possible to predict the effect of strategic decisions on the different variables considered, assisting on decision making.

Title- A computer architecture to use AIBO robots to teach Artificial Intelligence
Abstract- Student motivation and involvement are two key factors to achieve educational objectives. For this reason, it is essential that students are made aware of the possible practical applications of the theoretical contents being taught. To this end, we have adapted the laboratory sessions of the Artificial Intelligence module so that students can bring into practice the concepts learned. By using AIBO robots we have designed teaching materials based on active learning, achieving a greater motivation and a significant improvement of student’s academic performance. This has been done by re-designing three of the laboratory sessions so that students make use of the robots. To avoid the time required to learn the proprietary programming environment, we have implemented a series of interfaces to ease the interaction with the robot and allow the use of any programming language. In this article we present the hardware and software architecture used to fulfill this objective and we describe the three laboratory session in which this is used.

Title- A teaching method focusing on the development of transferrable skills
Abstract- This paper presents the teaching methodology which has been applied in a first level module to teach computer science concepts to undergraduate students in a different area. The method combines a series of teaching and learning strategies to motivate students at the same time as transferrable skills related to communication, teamwork, self learning and critical thinking are developed. Results show that student drop rates have significantly decreased and academic results have improved.
Index Terms- Transferrable skills, competencies, learning, motivation.
