UMECIT will be recognized at the III Ibero-American Seminar on the Quality of Online Education

The Metropolitan University of Education, Science and Technology -UMECIT- has achieved important recognition by being selected as one of the five best successful experiences in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in online education.

His innovative project, entitled “Practical Application of Forensic Planimetry with Simulations in UMECIT EON REALITY», presented by Master's professor Cynthia Linares, has been chosen to be presented at the III Ibero-American Seminar on the Quality of Online Education. This event, which will be held in Panama City on September 3 and 4, 2024, will offer a crucial space to share experiences and knowledge on the application of AI in the educational field.

The UMECIT project was selected from eighteen proposals submitted by higher education institutions from all over Latin America, as part of a call for proposals held between April and June of this year. The initiative to organize this seminar, under the motto “Boosting Excellence with Artificial Intelligence,” is led by the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI), the Ibero-American Advisory Network for the Quality of Higher Education (RIACES) and the National Council for the Evaluation and Accreditation of Universities of Panama (CONEAUPA).

Innovation and excellence in online education

UMECIT's proposal stood out for its innovative approach to teaching forensic planimetry, using advanced simulations through the EON REALITY platform. This success story reflects the University's ability to integrate cutting-edge technologies into its educational processes, thus improving the quality of learning and providing students with practical and up-to-date tools for their professional training.

The choice of UMECIT is not only a recognition of the quality of the project, but also of the institution's strategic vision in adopting AI to improve teaching and learning methods. The inclusion of this experience among the five best cases is a testament to UMECIT's commitment to academic excellence and technological innovation.

An event of international relevance

The III Ibero-American Seminar on the Quality of Online Education will bring together experts, academics and education professionals from all over Ibero-America to analyze and debate the impact of artificial intelligence on online teaching. The selected cases, including UMECIT, will be presented to an international audience, offering a platform for the exchange of good practices and the strengthening of academic networks in the region.

The call, which was open from April 17 to June 21, 2024, attracted numerous institutions that presented projects focused on improving student engagement and personalizing learning through the use of AI. Following a rigorous evaluation process, the organizing committee selected the five most outstanding cases, based on criteria such as innovation, applicability and impact on education.

 The 5 success stories that achieved the highest score were:

  • University of Alicante (Spain) – case no. 13, with 67.33333 points.
  • Metropolitan University of Education, Science and Technology (Panama) – case no. 7, with 60.83333 points.
  • Complutense University of Madrid (Spain) – case no. 11, with 57.66666 points.
  • International University of Science and Technology (Panama) – case no. 8, with 55.33333 points.
  • National Technological University. Avellaneda Regional Faculty (Argentina) – case no. 16, with 54 points.

Being selected among the five best successful experiences at an event of such magnitude is a significant achievement for UMECIT, which continues to consolidate itself as a leading institution in the region in terms of educational innovation. The presentation by Master Cynthia Linares will be an opportunity to showcase the work being done at UMECIT and to position the university at the forefront of online education in Latin America.
