RESUMENEn este artículo se presentan los principales resultados del proyecto de investigación "Una Propuesta de b-learning para la enseñanza de la Simulación", desarrollado durante los años 2008 y 2009 en la Universidad Católica de Santiago del Estero (UCSE). El objetivo de este proyecto fue elaborar un diseño curricular basado en el modelo B-learning para la asignatura Simulación de la carrera Ingeniería en Computación, y aplicarlo sobre la cohorte 2008 con el fin de evaluar su incidencia en los procesos de enseñanza y de aprendizaje. Dados los resultados positivos obtenidos con esa cohorte, se decidió mejorar la propuesta combinando el modelo b-learning con el aprendizaje colaborativo soportado por computadora, y aplicar esta nueva propuesta a la cohorte 2009. Palabras clave: blended learning, aprendizaje colaborativo, simulación, educación superior. ABSTRACTThis article presents the results of the research project "A b-learning proposal for the teaching of simulation", developed during the years 2008 and 2009 at the Catholic University of Santiago del Estero (UCSE). The aim of the project was to develop a curriculum based on the B-learning model for simulation in Computer Engineering, and to apply it to the 2008 cohort to assess its impact on the teaching-learning process. Due to the positive results obtained with this cohort, the authors improved the proposal combining the b-learning model with computer-supported collaborative learning, and applied it to the 2009 cohort.

Ubiquitous learning (u-learning) is a new educational paradigm that takes place in a ubiquitous computing environment and allows proper content for learning at convenient place and time, thus matching the student features and needs. The development of u-learning applications requires considering the user characteristics and necessities and the complex set with multiple ways of mobility, diverse mobile technology, diversity of carriers, and also the diversity of learning situations that might happen. The agent technology and the Semantic Web with ontologies offer efficient tools to manage this problem. On the other hand, the complexity inherent in this kind of application requires adequate strategies to manage the multiple components and interrelations. In this chapter, a model-based development approach is proposed to obtain a generic model of the system, and the architecture of it as a set of software agents.
