- Higher education institutions and learning management systems: adoption and standardizationPublication . Babo, Rosalina; Azevedo, AnaE-learning plays a significant role in education, and its importance increases day by day. Learning environments can take a myriad of distinct forms. Learning management systems (LMS) have emerged as an important platform to support effective learning environments. Learning management systems are used throughout higher education institutions (HEI) and the need to know and understand its adoption and usage arises. However, there is a lack of information about how LMS are being used, which are the most adopted, whether there is a country adoption standard and which countries use more LMS. Higher Education Institutions and Learning Management Systems: Adoption and Standardization provides insights concerning the use of learning management systems in higher education institutions and aims to increase understanding of LMS adoption and usage, providing relevant academic work, empirical research findings and an overview of LMS usage in higher education institutions all over the world.
- Plagiarism: what kind of implications in higher education?Publication . Braga, InêsThis research aims to reflect on ethical issues in the teaching-learning process in portuguese higher education in the context of Bologna, in particular the troubling reality of plagiarism practiced by students. To relate this issue with information literacy (IL) is inevitable, as at several international standards of IL, the question of ethics, copyright and plagiarism recurs. We highlight in the literature review, some investigations that focus on these matters, although of crucial importance, but wich don’t have had, in our view, adequate attention or the most appropriate practical action to deal with them. From a PhD research, carried out in a portuguese polytechnic higher school, focusing on eight undergraduate degrees in the areas of Accounting, Information Science, Human Resources, Design, Hotel Management and Engineering, we will stand out some results and interpretations of a study on IL and training for IL, highlighting, among others, the question of ethics and plagiarism, wich are regarded by different actors of the educational process. Through data gathering instruments - online questionnaires applied to teachers and students of these undergraduate degrees - and interviews ministered to the course coordinators and the librarian of the institution, there is enough material to conclusions betting on the need for a formal and continuing training, with collaborative actions between the educational agents and institutional reinforcement and impact.
- The development process of a metadata application profile for the social and solidarity economyPublication . Malta, Mariana Curado; Baptista, Ana AliceThis chapter presents the process of developing a Metadata Application Profile for the Social and Solidarity Economy (DCAP-SSE) using Me4MAP, a method for developing Application Profiles that was being put forth by the authors. The DCAP-SSE and Me4MAP were developed iteratively, feeding new developments into each other. This paper presents how the DCAP-SSE was developed showing the steps followed through the development of the activities and the techniques used, and the final deliverables obtained at the end of each activity. It also presents the work-team and how each profile of the team contributed for the DCAP-SSE development process. The DCAP-SSE has been endorsed by the SSE community and new perspectives of SSE activities have been defined for future enlargement of the DCAP-SSE. At the time of writing this chapter, Linked Open SSE Data is being published, they are the first examples of use of the DCAP-SSE.

- Using reverse engineering to define a domain modelPublication . Malta, Mariana Curado; Centenera, Paloma; Gonzalez-Blanco, ElenaThis chapter presents the early stages of a metadata application profile (MAP) development that uses a process of reverse engineering. The context of this development is the European poetry, more specifically the poetry metrics and all dimensions that exist around this context. This community of practice has a certain number of digital repertoires that store this information and that are not interoperable. This chapter presents some steps of the definition of the MAP Domain Model. It shows how the developers having as starting point these repertoires, and by means of a reverse engineering process are modeling the functional requirements of each repertoire using the use-case modeling technique and are analyzing every database logical models to extract the conceptual model of each repertoire. The final goal is to develop a common conceptual model in order to use it as basis, together with other sources of information, for the definition of the Domain Model.
- To be or not to be... a plagiarist: training for the ethical use of information in academiaPublication . Braga, InêsIn a world dominated by the digital paradigm, the ethical use of information is one of the Information Literacy (IL) skills which is important for the survival of individuals of the 21st century in various contexts, such as the professional. Also in academia, the widespread absence of this skill in students represents a complex problem, resulting in something undesirable: plagiarism. Many authors have reflected and published on the subject, which has been the focus of our attention in the context of higher education. We are of the opinion that preventing plagiarism before it happens, should be better than having to fight it, once detected, with punitive measures. However, in addition to the imperative need for training, we argue that this must be precocious and take place before entering higher education. This research starts with a real problem that the researcher has as a teacher of higher education, and that corresponds to the question: How to avoid plagiarism, as a trainer? Thus, a review of the literature on the subject is made and an empirical study is presented. It took place in a Portuguese secondary school, with 10th graders, describing the way in which an IL training project took place, which involved the referred students, their Philosophy teachers, the School librarian and the researcher, in the role of the teacher librarian. One of the main objectives of this pedagogical experience conceived and implemented by us in the school library was to provide the students with skills that would help them to do, in a correct way, the academic work requested by the teachers. In order to reach this objective, the methodology we adopted was to provide a theoretical and practical training whose contents were: copyright, plagiarism and norms for the ethical use of information. To complement this information, we organized a conference on the theme "To plagiarize or not to plagiarize ... this is the question" given by a lawyer who addressed in a pedagogical way the issue of plagiarism and associated issues that will be described in this paper. The technique of collecting data to know the target audience and structure the training session, so as to better match the needs of the students, was a questionnaire given to a sample of students before that session. Another questionnaire was applied in the practical part of the session, in the form of a worksheet, a strategy that allowed to evaluate the knowledge learned by the students in the first theoretical part of the session. The results of the evaluation of the worksheet were quite good, which allows concluding that teaching to avoid plagiarism has positive practical effects. In addition, it was concluded that collaborative work involving students, teachers, librarians, information law specialists and school boards in a formal context is critical to sensitize and train students to use information properly and ethically and not to commit plagiarism. This collaborative dynamic is essential to overcome the absence or insufficient formal training on the subject in academic curricula at various levels of education. We believe that, in order to combat the scourge of plagiarism, there is no single solution but the adoption of several pedagogical strategies that lead to the training and awareness of those who are in a learning situation and that must deal ethically with information in various formats, with different objectives and public.
- Professional skills of the graduates in Library and Information Sciences and Technologies from the point of view of the potential employers, students and professorsPublication . Martins, Susana; Carvalho, MilenaThis communication assumes that the professional skills of the graduated in Library and Information Sciences and Technologies (LIST) are known from the point of view of both the students themselves and their professors and even of the potential employers, which are here materialized by the host entities of curricular traineeship of the Undergraduate degree in LIST. These institutions have public and private nature and we can define them as follows: Microenterprise: employs less than 10 people and the annual turnover or annual balance sheet total does not exceed EUR 2 million; Small enterprise: employs less than 50 people and the annual turnover or annual balance sheet total does not exceed EUR 10 million; Medium-sized enterprise: employs less than 250 people and the annual turnover does not exceed EUR 50 million or the annual balance sheet total does not exceed EUR 43 million. In addition to the business types referred to above, there are also host entities of traineeship, organizations of public nature who work exclusively on document and information management such as libraries and archives. The starting point is the following question: Does the degree in LIST promote the acquisition of skills considered to be important and relevant for the professional performance? The general objective of this work is to assess among those that get closely involved with LIST, if this degree promotes the acquisition of important skills for these future information professionals, from three different perspetives: students, professors and the potential employers. Regarding the methodology, it will be created a survey by questionnary, previously used and validated in another study (Arias-Coello; Simón-Blas; Simón-Martín (2014)). The questionnaire consists of four dimensions: 1-Information Management; 2-Communication and Interpersonal Relationship; 3-Mastery and application of information technologies; 4-Organization Management Subdivided into 29 factors, that resulted in 29 questions. The scale of answer to be used includes values between 1 and 10, being 10 the highest value. The questionnaire will be made available electronically to the host institutions of traineeship (167), to the graduate students and to the full-time professors and it was previously initiated phone contact with the first ones and personal contact with the second and third ones, in order to raise awareness to fill the questionnaire. The answer rate is expected to be satisfactory and the collected data will be exported later and worked statically in the SPSS. It is expected that the results will allow to assess the opinions of different segments associated to the LIST degree and eventually identify the shortcomings in the curriculum of this Undergraduate degree and, thus, make recommendations for its adjustment, taking into account the perspectives of the participants interviewed.
