“…Both groups of students -those who plan to write science and those who plan to teach language -need academic writing norms to follow: to produce new knowledge, to reproduce somebody's ideas, to train other people in academic writing, to assess their achievements (Maclellan, 2008, Noteborn et al, 2014, Parker, 2010. Teaching In Russia, contrarily, we adopted genrebased approach in EFL writing, first.…”

“…ICTs have an impact on the role and competences of teachers (Volman 2005). Noteborn, Dailey-Hebert;Bohle and Gijselaers (2014) highlight the fact that while content knowledge is important, in today's job market, graduates need to develop procedural knowledge and transferable skills as new technologies continue to emerge. This is particularly important for students of Tourism, a sector in which the relationship with technological and IT processes and their every-day use is increasingly necessary (Buhalis and Law 2008).…”

“…The role of lecturers is no longer confined to simply transmitting content and facts (Noteborn et al 2014). They are now required to manage their students' learning process, based on their autonomous work, which is directed and organised by the team of lecturers through continuous assessment and the sequential evaluation of the objectives achieved and competences acquired.…”

Abstract:The application of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) to higher education is an essential element in the improvement of open and flexible teaching-learning. This is particularly important for students of Tourism, a sector in which the relationship with technological processes and their every-day use is increasing. This article describes the experience of teaching staff involved in this initiative based on the information provided by lecturers, a student quantitative survey and qualitative aspects in order to obtain the start profile of the tourism students, including their family background, gender differences and the attitude of students towards use of new technologies as an educational tool. This is a previous version of the article published in Journal of Teaching in Travel & Tourism. 2016, 16(2): 81-100. doi:10.1080/15313220.2015 2 1.-INTRODUCTIONThe key role that education and training plays in the competitive strategies of the tourism sector is an idea widely accepted by the various agents that make up the tourism industry. The efficiency with which new management methods are incorporated, or with which new technologies are employed in tourism companies, also requires more highly educated workers (Lillo-Bañuls, 2009).This study analyses the educational technological tools introduced and the main results of this experience. In particular, it describes the experience of how teaching staff introduced this innovation, basically consisting of creating a wiki (WikiTur) and a blog (BlogTur) through which students were able to contribute to the different topics covered in the subject "An Introduction to Economics", taught as part of the Tourism Diploma course. Based on the information provided by the teaching staff, and data obtained through a student survey, the results of this experience were analysed in order to identify the positive aspects and to define possible changes that could improve future use of technological resources in teaching this subject.A first step towards achieving the teaching objectives related to new Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) was the introduction of students' assiduous use of a wiki (WikiTur) and a blog (BlogTur) to which they contributed their views on the different topics covered by the Economics 3 subject as part of the Tourism Degree course. The main purpose of selecting a wiki and a blog as technological educational tools was that the teacher could provide the specific controlled link and also allow pages to be edited by the multiple participants sharing the content. Furthermore, students were already aware of such tools and were familiar with them.This study examines the relations between technology and education and the need to incorporate different educational technological innovations into the teaching of economics within the Tourism Degree. The teaching-learning process carried out with the wiki and the blog is also described.This educational research analyses the results of the initial experience set up by the group of lecturers i...

This paper describes a methodology and case study for the implementation of educational virtual laboratories for practice training on acoustic tests according to international standards. The objectives of this activity are (a) to help the students understand and apply the procedures described in the standards and (b) to familiarize the students with the uncertainty in measurement and its estimation in acoustics. The virtual laboratory will not focus on the handling and set-up of real acoustic equipment but rather on procedures and uncertainty. The case study focuses on the application of the virtual laboratory for facade sound insulation tests according to ISO 140-5:1998 (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, 1998), and the paper describes the causal and stochastic models and the constraints applied in the virtual environment under consideration. With a simple user interface, the laboratory will provide measurement data that the students will have to process to report the insulation results that must converge with the "virtual true values" in the laboratory. The main advantage of the virtual laboratory is derived from the customization of factors in which the student will be instructed or examined (for instance, background noise correction, the detection of sporadic corrupted observations, and the effect of instrument precision).
