Virtual Tours of Museums to Promote Tourism

2024 , Cóndor-Herrera, Omar , Ramos Galarza, Carlos , Bolaños-Pasquel, Mónica

Museums represent a collection of ancient and modern knowledge which must be protected, disseminated, and transmitted in the best viable way. Digital development and technology in recent years have made it possible to transform the way of interacting with museums through virtual tours (Palmieri et al in Springer Series in Design and Innovation, pp 71–82, 2023 [1]), which gained strength in times of pandemic, the products generated for virtual tours range from physical reproductions/faithful virtual images of historical artifacts to digital libraries that can be used by experts and others, in addition to 360º technology which allows a 360° viewing angle to be covered in two axes. That is, we can see everything around the point where it was made the photo or video. In this article, the virtual tours offered by some museums are analyzed, as well as the use of these tours as a tourism marketing strategy, giving the user the opportunity to interact with the place they plan to visit in a new way (Cóndor-Herrera and Ramos-Galarza in Marketing and smart technologies. Smart innovation, systems and technologies, pp 443–449, 2022 [2]). © 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

The article reports national statistical data on the usage of information and communication technologies in Ecuador, illustrating a sample of what occurs across Latin American countries. The data was collected in the 28 cities from Ecuador. The respondents were 40, 814 people aged from 0 to 98 years old. Regarding gender, 20,110 (49.3%) participants identified as male and 20,704 (50.7%) as female. Regarding educational level, 1,570 (3.8%) participants did not report any level of education, 115 (0.3%) attended a literacy center, 8,492 (24.9%) primary school, 9,317 (25.8%) basic education, 7,041 (17.9%) secondary school, 5,239 (12.8%) high school, 717 (1.8%) non-university higher education, 4,860 (11.9%) university higher education, 320 (0.8%) postgraduate level. In the results, it was found that a large number of citizens do not have access to technological means in favor of activities such as education or to solve everyday life activities. The results are discussed in the context of Latin America and the need for greater investment in the technological accessibility and development of the region to improve the living conditions of its people. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

The impact of a technological intervention program on learning mathematical skills

2021 , Cóndor-Herrera, Omar , Ramos Galarza, Carlos

Learning mathematics is a challenge in the current educational context. This is demonstrated by a high percentage of students who both fail to develop these numerical-type skills and have a low academic performance. This research performs a quasi-experiment to develop mathematical skills and knowledge. The sample consisted of 54 students (20 female and 34 male) between 10 and 14 years old (Mage = 11.11, SD =.79) organized into two groups. First, an experimental group (N = 26) that received a technological intervention of learning virtual objects and second, a control group (N = 28). The results shown a statistical significant interaction between the experimental group and the post-test, which suggests that the intervention improves the skills to solve root exercises F(1, 52) = 10.41, p =.002, η2 =.17, with a significant main effect F(1, 52) = 1184.02, p = <.001, η2 =.96. The knowledge of root exercises problem-solving variable has no meaningful interaction with the intervention F(1, 52) = 2.14, p =.15, η2 =.04. Nevertheless, there was a direct effect between the pre- and post-test measurement differences and the intragroup factor F(1, 52) = 17.95, p = <.001, η2 =.26. The results are discussed about the benefit generated by the use of virtual learning objects in favor of developing mathematical skills and based on previously published studies. © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

From Face-to-Face Learning to Virtual Learning: Students’ Perspective

2023 , Cóndor-Herrera, Omar , Bolaños-Pasquel, Mónica , Ramos Galarza, Carlos , Cruz Cárdenas, Jorge

This article reports the results found in an investigation which analyzed the perception that students have regarding the virtual learning process developed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study involved 38 students from a Latin American institution whose age ranged from 13 to 15 years of age, who carried out their academic activities virtually for a school year, once the school period ended, a survey was applied to collect information on the experience in virtual classes, once the results have been analyzed, it is evident that the vast majority of students issued responses in favor of virtual teaching and that virtual classes served to develop their skills in managing technological resources, on the other hand a number of participants They did not indicate the learning experience as positive or negative. This may be related to the fact that a group of participants did not have good quality internet. In the same way, the results reflect that the students consider that not having adequate equipment and good quality internet quality are a limitation in the learning process virtual lift. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
