    Reviewing and analyzing peer review Inter-Rater Reliability in a MOOC platform
    (Elsevier, 2020-09) García Loro, Félix; Martín Gutiérrez, Sergio; Ruipérez Valiente, José A.; Sancristobal, Elio; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso
    Peer assessment activities might be one of the few personalized assessment alternatives to the implementation of auto-graded activities at scale in Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) environments. However, teacher's motivation to implement peer assessment activities in their courses might go beyond the most straightforward goal (i.e., assessment), as peer assessment activities also have other side benefits, such as showing evidence and enhancing the critical thinking, comprehension or writing capabilities of students. However, one of the main drawbacks of implementing peer review activities, especially when the scoring is meant to be used as part of the summative assessment, is that it adds a high degree of uncertainty to the grades. Motivated by this issue, this paper analyses the reliability of all the peer assessment activities performed as part of the MOOC platform of the Spanish University for Distance Education (UNED) UNED-COMA. The following study has analyzed 63 peer assessment activities from the different courses in the platform, and includes a total of 27,745 validated tasks and 93,334 peer reviews. Based on the Krippendorff's alpha statistic, which measures the agreement reached between the reviewers, the results obtained clearly point out the low reliability, and therefore, the low validity of this dataset of peer reviews. We did not find that factors such as the topic of the course, number of raters or number of criteria to be evaluated had a significant effect on reliability. We compare our results with other studies, discuss about the potential implications of this low reliability for summative assessment, and provide some recommendations to maximize the benefit of implementing peer activities in online courses.

    New scenarios and trends in non-traditional laboratories from 2000 to 2020
    (IEEE Xplore, 2024-04-10) Fernandez, Ricardo M.; García Loro, Félix; Alve, Gustavo; López-Rey García-Rojas, África; Meier, Russ; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso
    For educational institutions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) areas, the provision of practical learning scenarios is, traditionally, a major concern. In the 21st century, the explosion of information and communication technology (ICTs), as well as the universalization of low-cost hardware, has allowed the proliferation of technical solutions for any field, in the case of experimentation, encouraging the emergence and proliferation of nontraditional experimentation platforms. This movement has resulted in enriched practical environments, with wider adaptability for both students and teachers. In this article, the evolution of scholar production has been analyzed at the global level from 2000 to 2020. Current and emerging experimentation scenarios have been identified, specifying the scope and boundaries between them.

    Novel design and development of advanced remote electronics experiments
    (Wiley, 2014-05-14) Tawfik, Mohamed; Monteso Fernández, Santiago; García Loro, Félix; Sancristobal, Elio; Ruiz Larrocha, Elena; Díaz Orueta, Gabriel; Colmenar Santos, Antonio; Peire, Juan; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso
    This article reports on the design and development of a new set of remotely controlled electronics experiments oriented to postgraduates and apprentices. Industrial-related issues are emphasized to allow understanding of the behavior of electronics components. The experiments are fully delivered online with a high level of flexibility. Remote retrieved results are provided.

    European Robotics Week to introduce robotics and promote engineering
    (Wiley, 2018-06-28) Plaza, Pedro; Sancristobal, Elio; Carro Fernandez, German; García Loro, Félix; Blázquez Merino, Manuel; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2028-5309
    We present an activity framed within the European Robotics Week event. Robotics and computational practice are ideal tools for developing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pedagogy. A modular and adaptive hands-on workshop is described in detail. The workshop is based on multiplatform educational robotics content as a first step into the robotics world. Three educational tools are used to introduce examples of robotics applications. The operational details, materials, and examples of activities for selected modules are presented with the expectation that all teachers can adapt these activities to their classes. Despite the small number of students, the experience delivered results that might be useful for other instructors to promote workshops with similar or identical content to generate further benefits. This study demonstrates that it is important to combine theory and practice and include fun tasks that intertwine the challenges of applying theory to problem solving. Furthermore, the results show how the same content can be deployed using three different robotics education tools.
