A Model for the Creation of Academic Activities Based on Visits

Abstract

A typical activity of some university studies is to make visits to places outside the university where students must observe certain elements and take notes of what has been observed. Normally these visits are carried out the instructions of a guide that has been made by the teacher where it is indicated in detail how to carry out the visit: what should be seen and observed, what type of information should be retrieved, and the type of report that should be done of the visit. Likewise, these activities have some evaluation mechanism associated. The creation of these activities consumes a lot of time for the teacher. This chapter describes a proposal to automate the creation of such activities using an application that would act as an added value service that would process the information available in open data repositories and linked data in order to offer an editor/publisher of activities of visits.
