Este volumen describe cómo utilizar los recursos de la plataforma educativa Moodle para elaborar de manera sencilla una serie de experiencias de innovación docente en el ámbito universitario que han sido desarrolladas y puestas en práctica por los autores. Está concebido para que sirva de guía o ayuda a todos aquellos que pretenden crear sus propios cursos o experiencias con Moodle u otras plataformas similares, tratando de que sea útil tanto a los que se acercan por primera vez a estas metodologías como a los que ya están familiarizados con su uso y desean sacar más provecho de ellas. En cada caso práctico se revisan en profundidad: * La finalidad pedagógica de la experiencia * La motivación y los objetivos de su implementación * Los detalles técnicos de configuración de Moodle para unos resultados óptimos (se incluye un capítulo de referencia general para el uso de Moodle con información detallada para las actividades y recursos utilizados en los casos prácticos). Además, se acompañan las descripciones con un análisis de los problemas que pueden surgir en la implementación, las soluciones encontradas y los posibles usos menos ortodoxos de los recursos empleados que invitan a utilizar la imaginación del profesor para enriquecer su docencia. A todo ello se añade una introducción al EEES y los cambios metodológicos que éste implica desde el punto de vista del profesor. Los autores poseen una dilatada experiencia docente en la Universidad, donde participan en varios proyectos de investigación educativa para las enseñanzas técnicas y gestionan diversos cursos creados con la plataforma Moodle en los últimos años.

Whether through speech, writing, or other methods, language and communication has been an essential tool for human cooperation and development. Across the world, language varies drastically based on culture and disposition. Even in areas in which the language is standardized, it is common to have many varieties of dialects. It is essential to understand applied linguistics and language practices to create equitable spaces for all dialects and languages. The Research Anthology on Applied Linguistics and Language Practices discusses in-depth the current global research on linguistics from the development of language to the practices in language acquisition. It further discusses the social factors behind language and dialect as well as cultural identity found behind unique traits in language and dialect. Covering topics such as linguistic equity, phonology, and sociolinguistics, this major reference work is an indispensable resource for linguists, pre-service teachers, libraries, students and educators of higher education, educational administration, ESL organizations, government officials, researchers, and academicians.

The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in education has revolutionized learning. Shifting beyond traditional mode of education, the integration of ICTs has become an advantage for students at tertiary education when used for the right purpose to enhance learning. The use of technology brings forth a flexible and accessible mode of education and bridges the gap of learning across borders. This enables students at tertiary level to have access to other universities and academic resource materials globally, thereby expanding their knowledge. Thus, it is crucial to consider the development of technology in education as part of a comprehensive pedagogical framework and take into account new developments in ICTs. ICT-Based Assessment, Methods, and Programs in Tertiary Education is an essential research publication that provides relevant theoretical frameworks and recent empirical research findings on integrating ICTs in tertiary education to enhance learning and allow students to take more control of their learning. Highlighting topics such as assessment, language learning, and e-learning, this book is ideal for teachers, professionals, academicians, researchers, administrators, curriculum designers, instructional designers, and students.
