    A Protocol to Follow-up with Students in Large-enrollment Courses
    (American Society for Engineering Education, 2021) Piña Aguilera, Matías Alonso; Hilliger, Isabel; Baier Aranda, Jorge Andrés; Melián, Constanza; Ruz Ruz, Cristián Daniel; González, Tomás Andrés
    In response to the covid-19 health crisis, many higher education institutions quickly moved to online education. As a result of that sudden switch, students faced unexpected difficulties, such as lack of a good quality internet connection, adequate equipment, and a good study environment. Additionally, several of them dealt with the effects of health and emotional situations faced by themselves or family members. Aware of those additional difficulties, some institutions promoted a flexible approach, suggesting teachers to increase communication with their students and make the necessary modifications to course evaluations and deadlines.Teachers willing to approach their teaching in a more flexible manner need to make themselves aware of the needs of their students. In engineering massive courses, where student-teacher communication is usually burdened, gaining such an awareness is particularly difficult, requiring students to initiate communication. Unfortunately, in remote online settings, which may exacerbate social isolation, students may have less inclination to communicate with their teachers.This work-in-progress paper describes a case of study in which we describe and evaluate a protocol designed to actively engage in communication with students either with lower-than-average academic performance or with missing/late assignments. Using soothing language, a member of the teaching staff contacts students (or replies to a request from a student), attempts to establish the causes of the low academic performance and proposes specific actions to be taken in response to students' needs. The protocol was implemented in an advanced programming course during the second term (Fall) of 2020, at a large school of engineering in Latin America. To evaluate the student's perceptions of this approach, we collect data from several sources, including general-purpose student evaluations and questionnaires designed to specifically evaluate the perceptions of this approach. By analyzing different sources of data, we aimed to identify advantages and opportunities for improvement and scaling this approach at a school level. Among the most important contributions, even though our protocol was designed and implemented during the pandemic, it could also be implemented face-to-face or with online systems.

    An overview of the LALA project
    (2020) Muñoz-Merino, Pedro J.; Delgado Kloos, Carlos; Tsai, Yi-Shan; Gasevic, Dragan; Verbert, Katrien; Pérez Sanagustín, Mar; Hilliger, Isabel; Zúñiga-Prieto, Miguel Ángel; Ortiz-Rojas, Margarita; Scheihing, Eliana
    The LALA project (“Building Capacity to Use Learning Analytics to Improve Higher Education in Latin America”) is a project that aims at building capacity about the use of data in education for improving education in Latin America. This article presents a general overview of the LALA project including the LALA framework (as a set of guidelines, recommendations and patterns for enabling adoption of learning analytics), the adaptation of learning analytics tools (mainly three different tools used in Europe) and the pilots with learning analytics experiences. The results of this project could serve as an example for other institutions in the Latin American region or other under-represented regions to adopt Learning Analytics as part of their processes.

    El compromiso escolar como mediador en la relación entre las dimensiones de Covitalidad y logro escolar
    (2024) Angulo Gallo, Lisandra; Varela Torres, Jorge Javier; Berger Silva, Christian; Guzmán Martínez, Paulina; Hidalgo Canales, Roy; Cuevas Pavincich, Francisca; Valdivia, María Belén; Hernández, Cristóbal
    La Covitalidad integra varios rasgos y habilidades relacionados entre sí, generando un funcionamiento positivo en todas las áreas de la vida de la persona. Una mayor experiencia de covitalidad pudiera llevar a mejores indicadores escolares, a través de aumentar el compromiso escolar de los estudiantes, sin embargo, esta hipótesis requiere ser contrastada a través de la evidencia empírica. El estudio realizado tuvo como objetivo estimar el efecto mediador del compromiso escolar en la relación entre las diversas dimensiones de la covitalidad y el logro escolar, por medio de Path Analysis.

    Learning analytics at UC-engineering: Lessons learned about infrastructure and organizational structure
    (CEUR-WS, 2020) Pérez Sanagustín, Mar; Hilliger, Isabel; Maldonado Mahauad, Jorge Javier; Pérez Álvarez, Ronald Antonio; Hernández Correa, Josefina María
    The development of Learning Analytics (LA) capabilities in a Higher Education institution is challenging. On the one hand, the institution requires of a technological infrastructure for adapting and/or developing LA services. On the other hand, the institution also needs of an organizational structure for designing and implementing new processes for assuring the adoption of these services. There are two different approaches for developing the necessary infrastructure and organizational structure. One consists on following a top-down process, in which the leadership of the LA initiative is mainly driven by institutional managers, who provide the necessary means. Another is bottom-up, where the initiatives are led by ground-level teaching staff without involving institutional managers. This article presents both approaches through two LA initiatives of Engineering School at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (UC-Engineering). We show how these two initiatives emerged and integrated into existing academic processes to improve teaching and learning at an institutional level. The infrastructure and organizational structure resulting from each initiative is presented, as well as the lessons learned. This paper aims at serving as an example for other universities in Latin America interested on developing and incorporating LA capabilities.

    Team negotiation strategies in entrepreneurship education: Patterns found in engineering students from Northern California and Santiago de Chile
    (2016) Miranda Mendoza, Constanza; Hilliger, Isabel
    A new way of doing engineering is rising. Particularly, accreditation criteria and local demands are requiring schools of engineering to transform engineering education by embracing entrepreneurship and innovation. Students need to be more prepared to address challenges of the industry through effective engineering design process. Nonetheless, we expect teams of students to able to overcome friction in any entrepreneurial endeavor with little or no instruction on how to work and orchestrate dissonance. This paper showcases context sensitive qualitative information from a team negotiation study conducted in two educational settings in North and South America. We describe two bottom-up negotiation strategies that become a shared pattern between the two research sites. Additionally, both group of students described a new mindset for doing things and solving real problems. Being comfortable with ambiguity is an emergent expected outcome from new way of teaching and learning engineering. Further findings could rise from collecting information in other research sites. A convergence in the negotiation patterns is expected. The techniques are visual in nature and have to the potential to be transferrable as concrete tools to be instructed in any engineering design curriculum.
