TL;DR: In this article, the potential diversity of participants of MOOCs has been taken as a starting point to develop a theoretical model and survey instrument with the goal to establish a large-scale, cross-provider data collection of participants.
Abstract: While MOOCS have emerged as a new form of open online education around the world, research is stilling lagging behind to come up with a sound theoretical basis that can cover the impact of socio-economic background variables, ICT competences, prior experiences and lifelong learning profile, variance in intentions, environmental influences, outcome expectations, learning experience and economic return on taking and completing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). The potential diversity of participants of MOOCs has been taken as a starting point to develop a theoretical model and survey instrument with the goal to establish a large-scale, cross-provider data collection of participants of (European) MOOCs. This article provides and overview of the theoretical model begin the project and reflects about first experiences with the cross-provider data collection.

TL;DR: In this article, el diseno colaborativo de un proyecto de investigacion de ciencia ciudadana a traves de la cocreacion.
Abstract: Este articulo describe y analiza el diseno colaborativo de un proyecto de investigacion de ciencia ciudadana a traves de la cocreacion. Tres grupos de estudiantes de centros de educacion secundaria y un equipo de cientificos idearon de forma participada tres experimentos sobre comportamiento humano y capital social en espacios publicos y urbanos. El objetivo del estudio es abordar como pueden integrarse en una investigacion cientifica el trabajo interdisciplinar y la atencion a preocupaciones y necesidades sociales, asi como la construccion colectiva de preguntas de investigacion. Los 95 estudiantes participantes en el proyecto respondieron una encuesta para evaluar su percepcion sobre las dinamicas y herramientas utilizadas en el proceso de cocreacion de cada experimento, y los cinco cientificos respondieron a una entrevista semiestructurada. Los resultados de las encuestas y entrevistas demuestran como la ciencia ciudadana puede alcanzar una modalidad «cocreada» mas alla del paradigma habitual «contributivo», el cual unicamente suele implicar al publico o amateurs en la recopilacion de datos. Esta modalidad de ciencia mas colaborativa con la ciudadania fue posible gracias a la adecuacion de materiales y mecanismos de facilitacion, asi como al fomento de aspectos clave en una investigacion como pueden ser la confianza, la creatividad y la transparencia. Los resultados apuntan tambien hacia la posibilidad de adoptar estrategias similares de codiseno en otros contextos de colaboracion cientifica y generacion colaborativa de conocimiento

TL;DR: A statistically significant correlation between the probability of connection in a right fronto-tectal pathway (FEF-Superior Colliculus) and the modulation of visual sensitivity during a detection task is reported and support the potential contribution of this pathway and the superior colliculus in the mediation of visual performance from frontal regions in humans.

TL;DR: A study by Hibberd et al. illustrates how micronutrient deficiencies affect the composition and function of gut microbiota, and further, how different species realize changes in gene expression and cellular metabolism to cope with micronUTrient shortages.
