The Corporation promotes excellence in university teaching and the development of innovative practices.
CEDIA launches the Innova ELSA 2024 competition, an initiative to promote the creative application of educational technologies and encourage teachers and researchers from member institutions to use the E-Learning System and Analytics ELSA plugin, a techno-pedagogical platform that analyzes Moodle-based data to improve the quality of the teaching-learning process.
The competition will award the teacher who demonstrates effective and innovative use of ELSA in their educational practice. To participate, researchers and teachers from CEDIA member institutions must register and develop proposals on any topic, each with a different course. Participation is individual and requires completing a mandatory ELSA training course.
Registrations will be accepted from April 8th to May 7th via this link: https://es.surveymonkey.com/r/PSKT9WX. The mandatory training course will run from April 29th to May 3rd.
The selected participants will be required to implement their proposals using ELSA with a minimum of 10 students and present evidence and results of their application. The winner will receive the opportunity to participate in an international academic event selected by CEDIA, as well as an interview to share their proposal.
The competition is divided into two phases: the first consists of the submission of proposals, which are evaluated by an academic committee. The second involves the implementation and application of these proposals, which are then evaluated by a panel of judges. The evaluation rubrics are based on instructional design and educational innovation criteria adapted from recognized evaluation guides.
With this initiative, CEDIA seeks to promote excellence in university teaching and the development of innovative practices that boost educational quality in Ecuador. Those interested can find more information and consult the complete competition rules on the official CEDIAwebsite.
