This study examines whether gender diversity on the board of directors determines the performance of tourism firms in terms of their use of natural resources. A variable measuring environmental performance in response to the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is created for the first time. The creation of this variable represents the main contribution of this study. Focusing on the...
In the area of e-learning, there are new challenges to be overcome. One of them is to allow students self-regulation of their learning. Within this self-regulation process, students and teachers use technological tools to carry out their tasks. In general, these tools do not consider pedagogical aspects. Emerging approaches propose the use of electronic portfolios and semantic technologies to provide...
At present, many human activities are influenced by the use of information technologies, undergoing major changes to adapt to them. However, in the field of education, the changes that have occurred are not enough to break with the classical learning schemes and there are lot of voices that are demanding radical changes in this context. Mainly one of the fundamental characteristics that educators...
Distributed simulation becomes a suitable tool for simulating complex systems with heterogeneous models, as supply chains, mainly due to the modularity of components. High Level Architecture (HLA) is widely used as a standard to build a distributed simulation system. However, the composability of simulation models in a federation scheme is the main problem to be overcome. Most solutions propose conceptual...
In recent decades there has been a significant growth in the use of e-learning as a tool that allows institutions to reach more students with no geographical limitation. Recent research results have shown that constant assessment positively encourages this type of education, generating satisfaction in users of these technologies. The tool most widely used in this context for assessment are objective...
Learning Management Systems (LMS) were developed with different platforms and technologies. Consequently, sharing learning resources and components has become a major challenge. E-assessment as a primary activity of any learning process is facing the same challenges and problems. With the capability to use semantic technologies, more specifically ontologies, it is easier to have a technology based...
The success of an e-learning project depends largely on the quality of applications and tools used to support the learning process. Meanwhile, the quality of software depends largely on proper identification of stakeholders in the requirements stage in the development process. While there are studies that have identified key stakeholders in e-learning contexts, most of them do not perform a deep analysis...
The use of ontologies, as tools to guide the generation, organization and personalization of e-learning content including e-assessment has drawn attention since they can represent the knowledge of a given domain and have the capability of reasoning about it. Although the use of these semantic technologies tend to enhance technology based educational process, the lack of validation to improve the quality...
With the advance in the Semantic Web and the technologies for its realization, approaches that use ontologies for different purposes in the context of e-assessment have emerged. One of these purposes is the use of ontologies as a mean of providing a structure to guide the automated design of assessments. Despite of the effort done in this direction, there is still a lot of work to be done due to the...
Nowadays, the incremental use of component-based simulation presents a new challenge to overcome. So, the researchers and software developers are putting attention to solve problems as interoperability and reuse of components. In the supply chain context, this simulation paradigm is very valuable because allows us to develop independent models and then interconnect them using middleware software such...
