General
Aspects
Information and communication technologies (ICT) have emerged as resources to support didactic innovation. That is why the Academic Vice-Rectory and the Leading Team in Information and Communication Technologies (ELTIC) of University Industrial de Santander recognize the effort, dedication and creativity that the professors of the University invest in the development of strategies associated with the incorporation of ICT in actions and didactic resources.
In this perspective, this call responds to the Policy of support for training through Information and Communication Technologies (Superior Agreement No. 051 of 2009) and complementary regulations. The Policy defines the guiding principles of support for training through the use of ICT and considers the appropriation and appropriate use of technologies as a generator of possibilities to enrich teaching and learning processes.
In correspondence with the current context, the Innova-TIC 2024 Call seeks not only to support teaching initiatives, but also to adapt to emerging technological trends. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality and other technological innovations are emerging as key elements that can be effectively integrated into ICT training proposals.

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of educational technologies, making digitalization an essential component of contemporary education. In this scenario, the call places particular emphasis on the approach to distance education, recognizing the relevance of technological tools and strategies to improve the quality of teaching and learning in virtual environments.
In addition, the importance of pedagogical innovation in a constantly evolving educational environment, where ICT plays a fundamental role, is highlighted. Within this framework, digital inclusion becomes an essential pillar, ensuring that all proposals consider the diversity of contexts and needs in the field of education. The call therefore seeks not only to promote the adoption of technologies, but also to ensure that they contribute to equity and accessibility in education.
This call invites the professors of the Industrial University of Santander to participate actively, promoting the creation of more flexible learning scenarios adapted to the demands of contemporary education.
In the above framework, the didactic innovation strategies that can be supported through this call include, but are not limited to:
- Digital Resource Development: Creation of wikis, instructional videos, digital books, and audio-visual material to support student learning.
- Online Courses, Workshops or Classes: Design and execution of online courses, workshops or classes that take advantage of virtual education.
- Flipped Teaching and Blended Learning Strategies: Implementation of innovative approaches such as flipped classroom or blended learning, making use of ICT to enhance the educational experience.
- Technological Tools for Classroom Support and Extension for Remote Attendance: Development of applications, virtual laboratories and simulators that allow learning experiences to be extended beyond the physical classroom.
- Use of Teaching and Learning Tools Licensed by the UIS Library: Integration of educational tools licensed by the UIS Library, taking advantage of the resources available in the portfolio of services of this unit.
- Incorporation of Specialized Software Tools: Integration of specialized software in the teaching and learning process, adapted to the needs and demands of each discipline.
- International Collaborative Learning Activities Mediated by Technology Platforms: Participation in collaborative learning initiatives at the international level (COIL and others), using technological platforms to foster interaction between students from different regions of the world.
- Incorporation of the use of Artificial Intelligence tools to support learning strategies.
Design and Development of Personalized “Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT)” models or Personalized Intelligent Assistants: Prioritizing equal access to advanced educational technology and recognizing the geographic diversity of our university, with campuses in different areas, it is essential that GPT model projects are accessible and effective for all. We are looking for proposals that ensure that both students and teachers, regardless of their location, can benefit from these learning tools. The goal is to democratize access to innovative education, ensuring that technology serves as a bridge and not a barrier in the educational process. Projects must design GPT models that enrich academic content, adapting to the specific needs of each subject and contributing significantly to the educational process. These models are expected to cover at least 20% of the content of the subject, declaring the competence that will be assisted by the GPT, which will be promoted as a support in independent work; offering new perspectives in teaching, research and university extension, and marking a milestone in the evolution of digital education in our institution.

Call
Objective
Stimulate the development and implementation of didactic innovation initiatives to face the challenges of the new era, promoting digital literacy, technological problem-solving and creativity, with a focus on the personalization of learning by fostering global collaboration, digital skills and the culture of continuous innovation through ICT in UIS undergraduate education.
This call actively values and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration. We are looking for proposals that involve several schools, merging perspectives and knowledge from different disciplines to develop innovative and versatile models. Proposals that demonstrate an effective and creative integration of multiple academic fields will receive special consideration and will score higher in their evaluation. This interdisciplinary collaboration will not only enrich the projects, but will also foster a more integrated and cooperative academic environment at our university.
