Effective Use

Interest in massive open online courses (MOOCs) as a new resource for distance learning is due to the rapid development of information and communication technologies within the framework of education. The 2000s precipitated the development of e-learning in the direction of open learning opportunities which resulted in the phenomenon known as MOOCs. MOOCs are now a widespread and accepted means of higher education which implies interactive online learning. Therefore, it is relevant to define the most appropriate form of MOOC integration, to study the contemporary experiences of MOOC implementation into higher education along with analysing the experience of using online courses within the context of face-to-face classes. This study observes the development of MOOCs by using comparative analysis and literature examination to reveal some accepted blended learning models for higher education. This paper also attempts to show possible challenges and outcomes of MOOC integration into a face-to-face class. The findings are dedicated to effective use of massive open online courses in universities in Russia.

There is no doubt that students in contact with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) benefit in various ways and advance in this new vision of the user of training. Gamification is a learning tool that is being used more frequently, and acquiring great relevance in the field of education, with the implementation and use of this support tool as a collaborative resource in a vital campus, it was proven that it is beneficial to improve the performance and quality of education in students who take the subject of Arithmetic and Geometry. At the ISOFODOSU. The purpose of this article is to present the results obtained from the intervention with students enrolled in the subject Arithmetic and Geometry in the academic periods September - December 2019, January - April 2020, on gamification in a virtual learning environment as a collaborative resource in combination with mobile devices. The objective set by the researcher is to check whether the use of this collaborative tool combined with mobile devices can improve academic performance, and increase the grades of students enrolled in the subject at the Salome Ureña Higher Institute of Teacher Training.

Religious Reasons

Pilgrimages and travel for other religious reasons are two of the major drivers of human mobility. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) can contribute to sharing knowledge about religious heritage with tourists, residents, and religious communities. ICT innovations that help individuals find information and acquire knowledge about cultural heritage can bring new experiences and sensations to tourists and residents, in general, and to those who have accessibility problems, in particular. These innovations include augmented reality, location-based services, social networks, gamification, and intelligent interfaces. This paper focuses on religious and spiritual routes and itineraries, presenting a religious tourism experience model that allows tourists to acquire additional knowledge about cultural and religious heritage, based on technological architecture using intelligent human-computer interactions displayed on personal mobile devices. This approach expands personal and spiritual experiences when travelers visit religious heritage sites associated with itineraries.
