Item Sustainable e-Learning by Data Mining-Successful Results in a Chilean UniversityAutores: Sánchez, Aurora; Vidal Silva, Cristián Lorenzo; Mancilla, Gabriela; Tupac Yupanqui, Miguel; Rubio, José M.People are increasingly open to using online education mainly to break the distance and time barriers of presential education. This type of education is sustainable at all levels, and its relevance has increased even more during the pandemic. Consequently, educational institutions are saving large volumes of data containing relevant information about their operations, but they do not know why students succeed or fail. The Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) process could support this challenge by extracting innovative models to identify the main patterns and factors that could affect the success of their students in online education programs. This work uses the CRISP-DM (Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining) methodology to analyze data from the Distance Education Center of the Universidad Católica del Norte (DEC-UCN) from 2000 to 2018. CRISP-DM was chosen because it represents a proven process that integrates multiple methodologies to provide an effective meta-process for data knowledge projects. DEC-UCN is one of the first centers to implement online learning in Chile, and this study analyses 18,610 records in this period. The study applies data mining, the most critical KDD phase, to find hidden data patterns to identify the variables associated with students’ success in online learning (e-learning) programs. This study found that the main variables explaining student success in e-learning programs are age, gender, degree study, educational level, and locality.Item Sustainable Health Education Simulator Using Open-Source TechnologyAutores: Oyarzún Díaz, Patricia; Orellana Cortés, Ana; Segura, Hugo; Vidal Silva, Cristián Lorenzo; Sánchez Ortiz, Aurora; Serrano Malebrán, JorgeThe information society has transformed human life. Technology is almost everywhere, including health and education. For example, years ago, speech and language therapy major students required a long time and high-cost equipment to develop healthcare competencies regarding the auditory and vestibular systems. The high cost of the equipment permitted its practical use only in classes, hindering students’ autonomy in developing those competencies. That situation was a real issue, even more in pandemic times where online education was essential. This article describes SAEF, an open-source software simulator for autonomously developing procedural audiology therapy competencies, user acceptance of this tool, and the validity of experiments and results. A great feature of SAEF is the immediate feedback and performance results delivered. A great achievement is the obtained results of students for its validity and its acceptability among speech and language therapy educators. Those results invite authors to continue developing free-access simulator software solutions in other health education contexts. SAEF was developed using open-source technology to facilitate its accessibility, classification, and sustainability.
