Assessment of exams at Atenea, an IMS LTI application for scalability problems
Alier Forment, Marc; Casany Guerrero, María José; Llorens García, Ariadna; Alcober Segura, Jesús Ángel; Prat Farran, Joana d'Arc
The online teaching support platform was changed by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in 2004. Moodle, an open source software, was used in place of the prior proprietary software. The population's confinement at home owing to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was a stress test for the whole university community, particularly those responsible for providing support for the online teaching support platform. Concerns about possible scalability challenges with the quiz functionality during the examination period arose as a result of the increased activity and the prospect of the generalization of online assessment. The solution included deploying a high-performance version of the Moodle Quiz Module As A Service (SaaS) to plug-and-play within the university's LMS without relying on internal resources using Moodle's IMS LTI interoperability features. This study aims at analyzing the solution, which included a systems strategy, private cloud operations, internal communication, and teacher training, that allowed the university course to be assessed in a confined space.

Teaching ethics and sustainability to informatics engineering students: an almost 30 years’ experience
Casany Guerrero, María José; Alier Forment, Marc; Llorens García, Ariadna
A significant number of universities where engineering is taught, acknowledge the importance of the social and environmental impact of the scientific and technological practice, as well as the ethical problems it presents, and the need to provide their students with courses covering this as a subject. This paper presents 29 years of teaching courses with the subject of social, environmental, and ethical issues to students of Informatics Engineering. The table contents and its evolution over the years will be analyzed, plus the different teaching strategies applied, with emphasis on the collaborative learning methodologies to facilitate critical thinking and debate. During the experience, the course incorporated the subject of History of Informatics which proved to fit in the course. While the subject of Ethics and Sustainability is increasingly being regarded as an important matter to learn by future ICT engineers, the courses covering it remain as optional in the curriculums. This should change.

Cómo fomentar vocaciones en infantes y jóvenes en México para cursar carreras STEM
Macias Gonzalez, Gizelle Guadalupe; Sánchez Carracedo, Fermín; Salán Ballesteros, Maria Núria
Las y los estudiantes mexicanos que desean entrar en la universidad se encontrarán, a sus 17 o 18 años de edad, eligiendo el rumbo de su educación universitaria, y vida profesional, al tener que seleccionar entre un amplio catálogo de carreras la disciplina que mejor se ajuste a sus intereses y posibilidades de estudio.

University teaching culture
Pérez Poch, Antoni; Domingo Peña, Joan; Sanz Gómez, M. Carmen; López Álvarez, David
The CIDUI experience has been an unforgettable learning process for us all. At the time of writing these introductory pages, we had doubts about the topics that should be included. Maybe the ideas and great debates about the university question and the challenges of the future, or the contributions made by its conferences to knowledge for improving teaching and innovation in our lecture halls. Maybe the complicity with our respective and successive rectorships, or the proximity and trust of faculty, which have lent full meaning to the institutional efforts made and have always filled us organisers with pride. Or perhaps the exemplary cooperation between the members of the human team that has made it possible to hold ten conferences that have been both interuniversity and intergenerational, and have featured such diverse professional profiles, or the confidence put in us by our respective universities. After analysing what has happened over these years, we believe that the seven issues that are discussed below are the ones that most deserve to be highlighted.

Graphic Classes in the Worldwide Classroom: A Comparison of Two MOOC Experiences
Pujadas Gispert, Ester; Redondo Domínguez, Ernesto; Estela Carbonell, M. Rosa
Graphics are present in the day-to-day professional practice of architects and engineers, not only to receive and transmit information, but also to design and create. Students who are accepted on university courses have varied curriculum vitae, and some may initially lack skills. Consequently, engineering schools have developed a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) entitled “The Language of Engineering” (ELI), which reviews basic geometry concepts and develops spatial intelligence, among others. The Barcelona School of Architecture has produced “From reality to design. From design to augmented reality” (RA), which covers topics including traditional architectural representation and the latest techniques. The goal of this study was to explain and analyse the main characteristics and learning strategies of these two MOOC (strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement). The results show that although strategies vary depending on the subjects, the contents and exercises should be practical and adapted to students (interests, level, time availability and aesthetics), always considering motivation as a key point (gamification). These topics have been found to have a considerable influence on the success of a MOOC. Therefore, the conclusions should be considered in subsequent versions of these courses and other MOOCs.
