Uso de tecnologías inmersivas en la educación superior: una revisión de literatura
Get PDFLos establecimientos de educación superior están cada vez más abiertos a la incursión de las tecnologías inmersivas (realidad virtual, realidad aumentada, vídeo 360°). Es importante poner en perspectiva el impacto de estas herramientas tecnológicas en la transferencia de conocimientos, los riesgos y los obstáculos asociados a su uso. Con el objetivo de establecer un estado del arte respecto al uso de las tecnologías inmersivas en educación superior, hemos realizado una revisión de literatura sobre los recientes estudios (2018-2022) que se centran en la utilización de un casco autónomo del tipo Head-Mounted Display (HMD) o de gafas de realidad aumentada. Los resultados de los 40 artículos seleccionados nos permitieron identificar los atributos, las ventajas y las limitaciones de estas herramientas en contextos de educación superior
Killing two birds with one stone: Pregnancy is a sensitive window for endocrine effects on both the mother and the fetus
Get PDFPregnancy is a complex process requiring tremendous physiological changes in the mother in order to fulfill the needs of the growing fetus, and to give birth, expel the placenta and nurse the newborn. These physiological modifications are accompanied with psychological changes, as well as with variations in habits and behaviors. As a result, this period of life is considered as a sensitive window as impaired functional and physiological changes in the mother can have short- and long-term impacts on her health. In addition, dysregulation of the placenta and of mechanisms governing placentation have been linked to chronic diseases later-on in life for the fetus, in a concept known as the Developmental Origin of Health and Diseases (DOHaD). This concept stipulates that any change in the environment during the pre-conception and perinatal (in utero life and neonatal) period to puberty, can be "imprinted" in the organism, thereby impacting the health and risk of chronic diseases later in life. Pregnancy is a succession of events that is regulated, in large part, by hormones and growth factors. Therefore, small changes in hormonal balance can have important effects on both the mother and the developing fetus. An increasing number of studies demonstrate that exposure to endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) affect both the mother and the fetus giving rise to growing concerns surrounding these exposures. This review will give an overview of changes that happen during pregnancy with respect to the mother, the placenta, and the fetus, and of the current literature regarding the effects of EDCs during this specific sensitive window of exposure

Biomechanical markers associations with pain, symptoms, and disability compared to radiographic severity in knee osteoarthritis patients: a secondary analysis from a cluster randomized controlled trial
Get PDFBackground: Conventional radiography is commonly used to diagnose knee osteoarthritis (OA), but also to guide clinical decision-making, despite a well-established discordance between radiographic severity and patient symptoms. The incidence and progression of OA is driven, in part, by biomechanical markers. Therefore, these dynamic markers may be a good metric of functional status and actionable targets for clinicians when developing conservative treatment plans. The aim of this study was to assess the associations between biomechanical markers and self-reported knee function compared to radiographic severity.
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted in primary care clinics with knee OA participants. Correlation coefficients (canonical (ρ) and structural (Corr)) were assessed between the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and both, radiographic OA severity using the Kellgren-Lawrence grade, and three-dimensional biomechanical markers quantified by a knee kinesiography exam. Significant differences between coefficients were assessed using Fischer’s z-transformation method to compare correlations from dependent samples.
Results: KOOS and biomechanical data were significantly more associated than KOOS and X-ray grading (ρ: 0.41 vs 0.20; p 36% variance explained), while X-ray grading was most associated with Symptoms subscale (21% explained; all p ≤ 0.001).
Conclusions: Knee biomechanical markers are associated with patient-reported knee function to a greater extent than X-ray grading, but both provide complementary information in the assessment of OA patients. Understanding how dynamic markers relate to function compared to radiographic severity is a valuable step towards precision medicine, allowing clinicians to refine and tailor therapeutic measures by prioritizing and targeting modifiable biomechanical markers linked to pain and function
FORCES 3 : Exploitation à des fins pédagogiques des données d’un portail d’apprentissage de l’autogestion de la douleur. Développement d’une architecture de collecte et d’analyse de données et d’un module de suivi du développement des compétences
Get PDFLe développement des environnements numériques d’apprentissage (ENA), en plus de permettre un accès plus facile au savoir pour tous, présente un nouvel éventail de possibilités pédagogiques. Les infrastructures de données intrinsèquement liées aux technologies du Web favorisent l’apprentissage adaptatif et la personnalisation des parcours. C’est le cas de la plateforme en ligne Gérer ma douleur, qui propose un ensemble de ressources dédiées aux personnes souffrant de douleurs chroniques afin de les aider à mieux les gérer. Dans le cadre du développement de cette plateforme, l’équipe de recherche-développement a procédé à l’étude de l’usage de ces infrastructures de données, pour proposer de nouvelles offres et fonctionnalités de façon à soutenir les parcours d’apprentissage. Un module de suivi de parcours d’apprentissage a été développé en partenariat avec de potentiels futurs utilisateurs, en suivant une méthodologie de prototypage rapide. De plus, un système de collecte et d’observation des données d’interactions des utilisateurs avec la plateforme a été mis en place en utilisant la norme xAPI, dans l’optique d’améliorer le fonctionnement du dispositif d’apprentissage et les différentes ressources éducatives

Get PDFTeaching languages remotely: Issues, hurdles and successes
Get PDFThe COVID-19 pandemic forced countless colleges and universities worldwide to switch to online teaching, and many language instructors delivered their course content the usual way but remotely. This synchronous solution was motivated by the urgency of the situation but also by the common belief that languages cannot be learned efficiently without the simultaneous presence of the teacher and other learners. However, new technologies at our disposal increasingly dispel this myth by rendering asynchronous language teaching very efficient despite a few challenges. This paper presents data from Université TÉLUQ, the world's oldest French-speaking distance university, offering remote language courses for more than 40 years in a minority setting, namely a French-speaking province in English-speaking North America. We present challenges posed by teaching asynchronously in remote settings and various solutions to circumvent or overcome these challenges
Development and use of a computerized system to track the competency development of family medicine residents: analysis of the convergence between system proposals and assessor decisions
Get PDFIn recent decades, a number of training environments have moved toward program approaches targeting the development of competencies. Because of their complexity, monitoring the development of those competencies is a considerable challenge.
Our hypothesis is that a computerized system could help overcome this challenge if it is well accepted by its users. We first summarize the context surrounding the implementation
of such approaches. Next, we present a computerized assessment system established in the Family Medicine Residency Program of Laval University (Québec, Canada) that we have developed for tracking the development of residents’competencies.
We then present the analysis of interactions between the system and users and the various proposals that were made to improve the system and longitudinal tracking of the development of the targeted competencies. We consider that this research provides useful guidelines for the computerized monitoring of learners’ competencies development and for the design of such systems
