<p>En este estudio se analiza la percepción de los profesores y alumnos universitarios sobre la utilidad de los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje (Learning Management Systems, LMS). Concretamente, el estudio se centra en cinco dimensiones de la utilidad de la plataforma Moodle: “contenidos”, “actividades”, “evaluación”, “interacción” y “aprendizaje”. Por otra parte, se comprueba la existencia de diferencias entre las percepciones del claustro y de los estudiantes respecto a la utilidad de Moodle en su docencia. Para llevar a cabo este estudio se ha desarrollado una revisión bibliográfica sobre el uso de los LMS, en especial de la plataforma Moodle, en el contexto universitario. A partir del estudio empírico realizado y en función de la explotación de los datos obtenidos se ha comprobado la distinta percepción de los alumnos y profesores universitarios sobre Moodle. Del mismo modo, se observan  diferencias significativas entre algunos indicadores y entre las percepciones de las dimensiones “contenidos”, “evaluación” e “interacción” de la utilidad de la plataforma Moodle, respecto a alumnos y profesores. Los resultados obtenidos sirven  para determinar los aspectos de los LMS que es necesario mejorar para potenciar su utilidad como herramienta de aprendizaje en el ámbito universitario.</p>

<p class="Ttuloresumen">This project on teaching innovation was developed in ESIC Business &amp; Marketing School Valencia and is based on the educational opportunities provided by Digital Signage. This paper describes the different phases undertaken to implement a flexible teaching method that counted on the participation of 43 third-year undergraduate students of Communication and Public Relations during two consecutive academic years (2013-2015). The objectives of this project are to promote educational innovation through the creation of a work structure led by teachers and to encourage students´ independent learning in the process of constructing knowledge through the development of the most appropriate visual designs for the transmission of information and advertising messages from the school. To achieve this, students have used Photoshop, Flash and Premiere software. The obtained results show that this project helps to encourage assimilation and implementation of key concepts in the field of creativity, graphic design and content management. The project also supports that teachers involved in the project should improve education quality by pooling and making the most of the best practices they have implemented on new methodologies in teaching and the development of their subject matters.</p>

This study examines the conditions that explain leading think tanks' successful strategies for the growth of world media representation of the European Union's (EU) international economic policy (N ¼ 19). A fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was developed throughout 2009-2018, which begins with the euro crisis. The causal conditions used are: the years of experience of each think tank; the attributes of its media representation (number of languages in which they spread their messages in the media, thematic concentration, and media concentration); and the macroeconomic characteristics of the countries from which they carry out their main activity (competitiveness and belonging to the euro). This data has been obtained through FactivaV R (Dow Jones & Company#), the Global Competitiveness Index (World Economic Forum), and the European Central Bank. The core conditions analysis shows the importance of the think tank experience and the diversity of languages for their successful strategies. Likewise, the different pathways suggest that the thematic concentration and membership of the euro are sufficient conditions to explain the increased influence of the EU think tanks on the international public agenda.

This study determines the influence of the main Spanish think tanks in the national and international media during the period from 2004 to 2018. We use quantitative analysis on the published contents (from Factiva V R) of the main Spanish think tanks between 1st January 2004 and 31st December 2018 in national and international media. The results suggest that the impact of think tanks has increased since the crisis period and has remained constant thereafter, thereby confirming the relevant role of think tanks in public opinion. Moreover, during the process of economic policy design, there has been a significant increase in the hegemony of a few think tanks' influence in media debates.
