The article describes a technological-pedagogical pattern called Learning Path. It is a stream of activities oriented to the development of education and understanding. It was designed on the basis of the comprehensive activities proposed by Perkins (1999), and is aimed at the teaching of any content for all types of student and is part of a management system of objects of programming of open content. It consists of three moments didactic defined as the display - Attention (Start or introduction to the system); understanding (development of comprehensive activities) and integration (Closing Process Integrator). It was prepared following a descriptive scheme using four generic elements that are: the name of the pattern; context of pattern; system of force or problem and solution. With this virtual strategy seeks to reduce the difficulties in regard to the acquisition, processing and transfer of information that occurs in people with difficulties to attend classroom training.

This paper, is a report that presents the results of the use of SCALA and ARASAAC free web software with Tomás, a student of a municipal public school in the city of Novo Hamburgo, state of Rio Grande do Sul / Brazil. Tomás is egress from a private school that offered little in regard to proposals and learning strategies for students in the inclusion process. This boy comes to school with significantly lower handicap to its power and poor condition of learning, presenting also a well marked limitation in terms of his oral language and comorbidity 'psychic immaturity'. After a period of adjustments and assessments, discussions with parents, teachers, professionals and contact with his previous school, Tomás started the Educational Specialized care with the use of alternative communication in teaching strategies. The SCALA and ARASAAC software were used as pedagogical devices providing learning and development. Resulting in a work focused on alternative communication throughout all of the school, with his colleagues and Family, which brought to him the ability to communicate, to speak, to give his opinion and actively act in environments where he is involved and in which he lives.

The basic hypothesis of the article is that actual available data of Bogota’s urban vehicular speed mobility (2007-2011) should induce to a relative urban vehicular immobility (RUVI) affecting the local gross domestic product (GDP). To proof or falsify the hypothesis we analyze the implicit impact of RUVI over GDP specifically from: a) Cost effectiveness of the private capital invested buying new urban particular cars which RUVI should induce toward a relative sub utilization of its installed capability; b) Labor force competitiveness depending of the duration of journeys from home to work sites; and c) Non accounted freight costs induced from delays of cargo during urban Bogota’s journey when cargo arrives from sea ports. By the way of conclusion proof the hypothesis about the aggregate negative impact of the RUVI on local GDP and induces to enforce the model additionally focusing on collateral macro and microeconomic, such as ecosystemic and regulatory variables.

The paper presents an investigation through a questionnaire administered to a sample of 30 teachers, with the overall objective to know the understanding of teachers in the use of technology, and what tolos are use in their practice. Used as a reference technologies in education, and the challenges of teaching practice. At the end of the study, the authors emphasize the importance of training for the use of technology, integrating the classroom practices. Currently in Education, mediators should understand the importance of constant updating, able to absorb, stimulate and develop new skills, in response to new demands

The ethnic educational digital resources with ludic content, stimulate indigenous communities to use technology as a way to strengthen the language, culture and support the preservation of its roots. From the ludic, we seek the learner to think and act in the midst of a situation that was built with resemblance to their reality and according to a pedagogical purpose. In this work ludic ethnic-educational resources aimed at fostering cultural identity are proposed, as well as the acquisition of knowledge and enclosing various interactive activities under a unique cosmic vision of Colombian indigenous communities.

The present investigation is focus in the potential and market process of products to micro-enterprises, this study was implemented by agent-based, modeling using Netlogo platform and based on the stategy of referrals and three micro strategies based on network indicators such as centrality of degree and density. The implemented simulation showed how the average sales that an enterpreneur has, depend on the chosen micro strategy to promote their products and in most cases, high connected contacts have more probability of spreding a product in a market.

The aim of this article is to propose a multiagent model which incorporates context awareness characteristics in order to support collaborative learning activities into virtual learning environments, by using Ontologies and Awareness Services. The characteristics related to contextual monitoring, group interaction, and the alerts, offered by the model allow students and teachers to be aware about the learning situation and the progress of collaborative activities proposed., ontologies are used to model the different students learning styles, as well as the strengths and weaknesses exhibited by a specific group. The Awareness Services built are used to monitoring collaborative processes such as group participation, learning activity progress, shared agendas, among others. Based on the model proposed, a prototype was implemented and validated through a case of study. Considering the obtained results by using each of the technologies proposed to support collaborative learning processes we can conclude the effectiveness of the model.
