Item type:Publication, Evaluation of Business Maturity in Entrepreneurs from Cotopaxi: Study Areas Latacunga, Salcedo, La Maná, Pujilí – A Practical Application of the Nexus 4d Tool(2025); ; Pamela SilvaThis study analyzes the business maturity of 33 entrepreneurs from Cotopaxi, province of Ecuador, evaluated using the Nexus 4D tool. These entrepreneurs are linked to an Impulsa foundation created under the ministerial agreement MIES-CZ-3-DDL-2019–3588-M, whose mission is to promote sustainable development, strengthen cooperative practices and promote the formalization of businesses in Ecuador. The assessment covered ten key categories, highlighting strengths in resilience, product/service development, legal compliance and social responsibility. However, technology scored the lowest, reflecting limitations in access, skills, and trend adoption. Intermediate areas such as finance, logistics and branding also show challenges related to transportation, marketing strategies and financial management. These results highlight the need for interventions focused on reducing technological gaps and optimizing business management, while taking advantage of existing strengths. This analysis offers a comprehensive vision of the opportunities and challenges faced by entrepreneurs, contributing to the strengthening of the business fabric and sustainable economic growth in the region.14 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Smart Signage with Augmented Reality: Inclusive CoworkingThis project focuses on the implementation of augmented reality signage designed to enhance user experience in a coworking space. The signage integrates 2D animations and virtual tours to provide an intuitive and immersive experience, from entry to the desired destination within the establishment. At the main entrance, a totem with a coworking directory features a QR code that visitors can scan to access an interactive directory. The 2D animations, thoughtfully designed with an inclusive approach, utilize validated corporate colors to ensure accessibility, especially for individuals with color vision deficiencies. Each business in the coworking space is identified by a unique corporate color, and internal business floor plans use analogous colors, adjusted to maintain aesthetic coherence and accessibility. In addition to being an effective navigation tool, these animations reinforce the visual identity of the coworking space. Each business within the establishment has an interactive virtual tour that guides visitors from entry to their final destination, providing real-time visual information for effective orientation. The signage system is based on WordPress to offer a seamless and efficient experience without the need to download a specific application. Upon scanning the QR code, users are redirected to a mobile-optimized web page. This page not only provides access to the 2D animations and virtual tours but also offers useful information such as business hours, links to the businesses’ and coworking space's social media, and other relevant details for the visit. This augmented reality signage approach not only enhances the functionality of the space but also ensures that all visitors, regardless of their needs, enjoy an inclusive and efficient experience in the coworking space.20 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Value Proposal: A Participatory Brand Construction ModelThe brand is not only from the Unagotion, goes further, it is as if the consumer inner-Izara the product or service. It is searching from consistency, preubey, pursuit, trust, content, and reaching the client, and these elements are the way for the construction of the brand. The corporate image is created from a cultural internalization of management and will be reflected in the identity that will be reflected toward the whole world, and this design is born from the participation of the designer and the senior executives, who transform the ideas through the use of tools innovative The objective of this research is to generate a model that integrates the use of the business model canvas and participatory design, identifying the value proposition of the company. By using a heuristic matrix, which plasma the differentiating elements of the company, iconic elements represent them, together with the colors and typographies that together build the brand with its components: (1) morphology, (2) color, and (3) typography. The participatory design of the actors at each stage accelerates the brand construction, the results are integrated into the best corporate identity, and resistors are avoided in their adoption. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.59 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Digital Catalogs and Digital Marketing Strategies for Product Promotion in the Popular and Solidarity Economy: A Community Engagement ExperienceThis article analyzes the development of digital catalogs as a strategic marketing tool for promoting products within the popular and solidarity economy (EPS), as part of a community engagement project carried out by sixth-semester students from the Digital Marketing program at Universidad Indoamérica. The students, who had already gained experience in web development, worked on creating interactive digital catalogs for 12 local businesses from the province of Pichincha, whose products were already equipped with labels and packaging ready for commercialization. In addition to designing the catalogs, digital marketing elements such as visual content optimization and linking the catalogs to e-commerce platforms and social media were integrated. The results show that the use of digital catalogs not only facilitated the professional presentation of the products but also enhanced consumer interaction and expanded the reach of these businesses in the digital marketplace. This study demonstrates how the collaboration between academia and community can strengthen small businesses, fostering their growth in digital environments. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.10 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Autonomous Learning Mediated by Digital Technology Processes in Higher Education: A Systematic Review(2020); The concept of autonomous learning has been resignified in recent years as a result of the expansion of the different types of study. Online education in higher education institutions has become an effective option to increase and diversify opportunities for access and learning, however, high rates of dropout, reprisal and low averages still persist. academic performance. Recent research shows that the problem is accentuated because most students have difficulty self-regulating their own learning process autonomously. From this perspective, the purpose of the study was to examine and analyze, through a systematic review of the literature, on autonomous/self-regulated learning, theoretical models and determine which variables influence a learning process mediated by technology processes in the higher education. The findings indicate that: (1) autonomous learning is a synonym of self-regulation; (2) Pintrich’s self-regulatory model is the most used in digital contexts; and (3) the self-regulatory variables identified are wide and varied. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.38
