The
School of Engineering of the National Autonomous University of Mexico
(UNAM) copyrights EDIFICA, his own Learning Management System
by Professor Gerardo Ferrando, IACEE First Vice President
In 1996, the
Continuing Education Division of the School of Engineering (DECFI, by
initials in Spanish language), of the National Autonomous University of
Mexico (UNAM), begins to offer his first fully Internet-based Diploma.
On 2002 year, the Research and Development Center for On-Line Education
(CIDEL, initials in Spanish language) was established at DECFI.
Currently, our School offers three Master Degrees and one
Specialization Degree oriented towards technical personnel of various
Mexican governmental offices. We also offer seven Diplomas and several
singles courses, to any kind of public.
In 2006, DECFI
finishes the research, development and testing of his own Learning
Management System (LMS) named EDIFICA (School of Engineering Distance
Education Courses and Assessment in Spanish language). On 2007 EDIFICA
was copyrighted in Mexico, and now is being in the process of getting
copyrighted in several other countries. With EDIFICA, our School is now
able to pack learning objects that fully integrates content and
technological platform for public distribution.
Overview of
EDIFICA key benefits and features:
- Simple and
intuitive user interface. Short learning curve for final users.
- SCORM 2.0
compliant to deliver learning contents that can be easily modified and
used on different SCORM-compliant tools and platforms.
- Internal chat
room, online forums and one blog per course.
- Development
of HTML content inside EDIFICA, reusing files from different sources
and formats (ppt, pdf, flash, mpg, jpg).
- Internal HTML
editor for fast development of single and unique courses, or to make
last minute changes to any course.
- On-line
generated exams with random selection of questions and answers
(multi-choice). Instant and automatic evaluation and assessment. Full
control on exam presentation dates and times to resolve each question.
Also accepts open questions, which written answers can be reviewed
on-line or off-line by a professor.
- Easy
management and control of registrar tasks, schedule of courses and
professors, user accounts and courses contents. Full statistics reports
module.
- As a
copyrighted system developed by our School, EDIFICA is generating big
savings in licenses fees to our University.
EDIFICA was
developed by a team of DECFI professors under the leadership of M.Eng.
Alberto Moreno-Bonett, Head of DECFI, with active collaboration of M.
Sc. Arturo Velázquez-Mayoral, M.Eng. Jorge Martínez-Peniche, Eng.
Marycarmen Hernández and Eng. José-Luis Santiago-Rodríguez.
For IACEE
members, EDIFICA can be accessed (for the moment, only in Spanish
language) at the Web address: http://200.67.143.174/lms_cidel
