Authors: Bosnić, Ivana; Žagar, Mario; Crnković, Ivica
Abstract: Distributed Software Development course is a project-based course, currently run together on three universities: in Croatia,Italy and Sweden. The specificity of this course is usage of technology and distance work in order to teach students exactlythat – distributed software development. Students experience what they are learning about through course participation.The goal is to offer students real-life experience of building such a distributed project, by working in distributed teams,having teaching staff and customers in remote universities, or participating in software competitions. Different educationalactivities build on the social constructivism method of learning, supported by various tools and technologies used. Courseevaluation, which is being conducted since the beginning, for 11 years, shows constant and high students’ satisfaction.Students’ comments acknowledge the innovative concept and an opportunity to work in a real-life, distributed environment, with the help of technology.

Title: Interactive lectures with Moodle and students’ devices: BYOD at Paris Descartes University
Authors: Badeau-Mahmoud, Sonia; Bouziane, Antoinette; Alvarez, Ludivine; Harent, Marion; Carmichael, Jennifer; Coumoul, Xavier; Koscielniak, Thierry
Abstract: ICT for Education has the potential to enhance and support learning. It is now possible to create engaging environments for learning and teaching and especially supporting interactive lectures.
To achieve this goal one strategy is to implement BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) programs into the learning process. The acronym BYOD refers to “[…] technology models where students bring a personally owned device to [university] for the purpose of learning.” (Alberta Education, 2012).
This definition confirms that using BYOD can indeed be an innovative way to create and animate interactive lectures.
This paper will present the learning activities based on the Moodle LMS (http://moodle2.parisdescartes.fr/) that were carried out in different lectures on a BYOD mode. It will also show how this model can improve and enhance learning and impact students’ motivation.

Title: Tool for creating learning modules developed on the basis of open source OpenScholar software
Authors: Pilt, Lehti; Tartes, Tõnis; Morandi, Triin
Abstract: The article deals with developmental work of Sisu@UT tool (https://sisu.ut.ee) for creating learning modules developed on the basis of free open source OpenScholar software project. The tool enables the creation of interactive learning modulesthat support all the stages of the learning process and help students to achieve learning outcomes. Teachers of theUniversity of Tartu can experience web- based cooperation when using the tool. The main functionalities of OpenScholarsoftware and some integrated modules/plugins (quiz, webform and glossary module, multiple content editor and popupplugins) are introduced. Sisu@UT tool contains many other custom developments to the core of OpenScholar required to beused effectively in e-learning. These include the addition of metadata, site categories, developed custom themes andincluded Drupal’s Sweaver editor.
Sisu@UT (that has received very positive feedback from its users) is the only free open source software which enables to addand change interactive features online inside the same web site/learning module. It makes the management of learningmodules easier and less time consuming than other similar offline tools or online tools that do not enable to add interactive elements.

Abstract: At year 2006, the strategic plan of the Universitat Politècnica de Valencia created an initiative, called Networked Teachingaimed to encourage the production of high quality e-learning materials as a companion material for the standard lectures.Since then, the combination of teachers, technical and pedagogical resources has produced more than 10,000 video learningobjects, from more than 1,400 teachers, 1,200 virtual labs, 3200 hours of recorded lectures, 120 OpenCourseWare sites and 41MOOCs, leaving the UPV brand as a top participant in the Spanish Speaking e-learning scene. A key factor in the UPV strategyis the combination of flexibility for the teachers, technical standardization and the requirement of pedagogical review, whichmakes the produced content reputable for the use both for individuals and for any Higher Education institution.
