This article aims to develop a virtual digital literacy course to improve the skills in the use of information and communication technologies (TIC) in teachers of the University of the Amazon of Florence Caquetá. The above with the purpose of proposing a strategy to reinforce digital literacy. The general methodological development was approached from the exploratory and projective methods, using a sample of 100 teachers. To establish the specific methodology was defined: the first phase, diagnosis of the problem, the second phase, the theoretical content and the third phase, designed and implemented the virtual course. The University of the Amazon will have a strategy to address the problem of digital literacy and TIC skills in teachers and at national level may be a reference to implement and improve TIC skills in university teachers.

This paper presents an educational experience using game development with "scratch" to represent ideas using innovative technology to positively impact the lives of the "Caqueta" in the next five (5) years. As a result of the experience, students in the first semester of Systems Engineering at the University of Amazonia were able to design and develop complex games using logic to solve problems in the region of Caqueta-Colombia, having account of the general aspects of engineering.

The objective of the work was to determine the context and conditions of eco-marketing to enhance nature tourism. The methodology was descriptive, mixed and case study method. The population was 41 entrepreneurs and two managers. A survey, in-depth interviews and a focus group were applied. Data was analyzed with SPSS software and triangulation. The results obtained showed that ecomarketing, ecological economics, training and the implementation of friendly practices are required to offer this type of tourism services. For this reason, it is concluded that ecomarketing minimizes negative effects on the environment and enhances nature tourism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The COOPMERCASAN peasant market began its operation in 2011, providing fresh and safe agricultural products to the population of Florence. In these eight years of operation, they have had successes and failures, they have also received the support of different institutions, however, to date, their current realities are unknown, as well as the challenges, which have been changing over time. It is because of the above that this research sought to build the dynamics of this experience through self-reflection, base information for decision-making, and the orientation of their improvement actions. The work was carried out in the municipality of Florence, the tools for gathering the information were surveys, interviews, and participant observation. Among the main findings, it was discovered that, although the market has managed to position itself with an interesting customer base, its offer is not meeting expectations in terms of the volumes and diversity demanded by customers and that, although the vast majority of the support provided by the institutions has been directed towards organizational strengthening processes, it continues to be the weakest aspect.

The objective of this work is to identify the main variables that generate difficulties in the learning of undergraduate students in Logic and Algorithms I and II in the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Amazonia. The research was carried out through a case study approach and a descriptive analysis of the presented situation, evaluating the competences of autonomous learning through surveys. In this sense, in developing the work, a diagnosis was established to generate strategies and take action on the part of the academic directives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article raises the issue of telework oriented population deprived of freedom by the INPEC, specifically those inmates categorized under low, held in EP HELICONIAS Florence Caqueta, which will be provided with their application due to its characteristics objective and subjective, providing greater opportunities and social and labor inclusion; strengthening given that this form of employment currently present in the country. To achieve this objective a descriptive methodology used giving a qualitative approach to describe the characteristics and policies that apply in telework, especially those that refer to the prison and prison environment in Colombia. As a result, it is found that the relevant regulations to this project is clearly established (including information security) given the nature of the target population, allowing a strategy that suits your needs in which factors such as include: security, business, technology, and internal, obtained from the SWOT analysis of the establishment. The implementation of this strategy will enable the beneficiaries actively to participate in the workplace contributing financially to your household and improving their self-esteem.

The article presents general objective describe the main components of a strategy by the use of Information Technology and Communications (TIC) to address the problem of the undergraduate student desertion of universities in Colombia. it is the purpose of proposing a strategy to avoid duplication of efforts and resources expenses when determining whether a student is at risk of dropping out. The overall methodological development was approached from heuristics and the projectile area, the specific methodology to establish three phases, planning, design and development were defined. Through this article the institutions of higher education may have a strategy to address the problem of undergraduate student desertion. Regionally the study may be used as a reference for implementing new strategies to help reduce dropout rates from the experiences of other institutions in the country. O artigo apresenta objetivo geral descrever os principais componentes de uma estratégia com o uso de Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicações (TIC) para resolver o problema da deserção estudante de graduação das universidades na Colômbia. Isso com o objetivo de propor uma estratégia para evitar a duplicação de esforços e recursos gastos para determinar se um estudante está em risco de abandono escolar. O desenvolvimento metodológico global foi abordado a partir de heurísticas e a área projetiva, foram definidos a metodologia específica para estabelecer três fases, planejamento, projeto e desenvolvimento. Através deste artigo, as instituições de ensino superior pode ter uma estratégia para resolver o problema da graduação deserção estudantil. Regionalmente, o estudo pode ser usado como uma referência para a implementação de novas estratégias para ajudar a reduzir as taxas de abandono com as experiências de outras instituições no país.

The objective of this research was to characterize the recyclable solid waste produced at the University of the Amazon, and to develop an automatic container and classifier for this type of waste, to contribute through ICT to the process of environmental sustainability linked to the concept of circular economy in education. The defined methodology was divided into five phases that correspond to the knowledge of the solid waste management of the cafeteria users, characterization of solid waste, design and construction of the container, training of the artificial intelligence (AI) system, and internal beta-test. Test. Obtaining, as a result, a total generation of plastic waste per week of 66 Kg, which represents an approximate economic income of $ 138,000 COP. In addition, an automatic container and sorter, capable of recognizing and storing plastic bottles, was developed using an artificial neural network. In conclusion, the recycling of plastic waste within an educational institution contributes to environmental sustainability, in addition to the development of technologies such as the container and automatic sorter, they allow to optimize the selection and classification of recyclable elements, quickly and safely.
