  1. Binational Initiative Translation of Mathematics courses to Spanish Santa Cruz, CA July 20, 2006

  2. Index • What is CUDI ? • Higher Education Challenge in Mexico • Project: MITE / UCCP / CUDI • UANL case • DGTVE case • Next steps

  3. 1.- What is CUDI?

  4. Internet 2 • With the leadership of Vice President Gore the US Federal Government sponsors the Next Generation Internet Initiative. • Significant resources were channeled, mainly through the National Science Foundation, to support connectivity among National Laboratories and large research universities

  5. The IT technology spiral...

  6. As part of the Next Generation Internet Initiative, 34 major research universities formed a non-profit corporation to run a high capacity network...

  7. Today, UCAID is a non profit consortium of more than 200 universities working with government and industry in the development of tomorrows Internet technologies and applications. http://www.internet2.edu

  8. In California…

  9. In other countries… • Most developed countries have formed non profit organizations for the operation of advanced education and research networks National Research and Education Networks

  10. Internet 2 in México… On April 8th, 1999 a non-profit private corporation was formed to implement and fund the network Corporación Universitaria para el Desarrollo de Internet, A.C.

  11. CUDI´s main objectives are: • To deploy and operate an advanced technology network for the research and higher education community • To develop advanced applications • To promote the transfer of new services and applications to commercial Internet

  12. CUDI membership has reached 140 universities and research institutions…

  13. Membership • That comprise: • >80% of higher education enrollment • 1.7 million students • 120,000 computers with access • >90% of researchers in the National Research System

  14. The CUDI infrastructure… CENIC UTEP • Telmex and Avantel have each donated 4,000 kilometers of 155 Mb backbone. Tijuana Cd. Juárez CLARA Monterrey Cancún Guadalajara México

  15. International connectivity… • Fiber optic link, financed with NSF resources, between CENIC and Tijuana. • Fiber optic link from Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez and UT El Paso. • CLARA ring in Tijuana that connect 14 NREN´s from Latin America and Europe.

  26. 2.- Higher Education Challenges in Mexico

  27. Demographic growth… • Demographic growth in Mexico has produced increasing demand for university education. • 12 million vs 2.4 million students

  28. Mexican universities have realized that the most efficient way to increase their educational offer is by using information technologies for… • distance learning, • electronic libraries, • shared laboratories, • grids, • collaborative research efforts and joint teaching programs (through videoconferencing)

  29. Demand of careers in the mexican universities Health Social Sciences Others Engineering & Science

  30. In Mexico is necessary improve knowledge level of the students in… • Mathematics • Physics • Chemistry Next September 210,000 students will start their carriers in Engineering and Science

  31. 3.- Project: MITE / UCCCP / CUDI

  32. University of California College Prep Online (UCCP) & Monterey Institute for Technology and Education prepare students for higher education through the development and delivery of online courses, counseling resources, and academic support services. • National Repository of On line Courses (NROC)

  33. Education Challenges in California • 48% of elementary students (K-6) in the state of California are Latino (85% of Mexican origin) • 25% of students in K-12 are English Language Learners. (80% speak Spanish) • 46% High School drop out rate in California. • 60% among Latinos • High Mobility rate • Teachers are not well prepared to address ELL’s needs. • Approximately 40% of 9th grade students taking Algebra this academic year (2005-06) will have to repeat the course. Source: California Department of Education

  34. Education Challenge… • Translated versions in Spanish will benefit English Language learners • Teachers will use content as supplementary material • Students can have access to the content 24/7 as study material • Assist students to be better prepared prior to entering a University • Take mathematics courses online to fulfill prerequisites prior to entering college and ensure that they are prepared for University work. • Create learning objects so that University faculty use it as supplemental material

  35. Same objectives… • California needs Mathematics on line courses in Spanish language • Mexico needs Mathematics on line courses

  36. Translation of Mathematics Courses to Spanish • In July 21st, 2005 signed an agreement • Translate 4 courses to Spanish language • Course for use on line environment • Open to CUDI Community

  37. Mexican Institutions Participating to Translate the Courses • Algebra • Dirección General de Televisión Educativa (DGTVE) • Calculus AB • Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) • Calculus BC • Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL) • College Calculus • Universidad De Guadalajara

  39. Calculus AB: Coordination.- Larisa Enriquez Vázquez (larisa@piaget.dgsca.unam.mx) • Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) http://www.unam.mx/ • 270,000 Students • 30,000 Teachers • 3,400 Researchers

  40. Calculus BC: Coordination.- Elizabeth Velázquez (elizabeth.velazquez@dgi.uanl.mx) • Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL) http://www.uanl.mx • 58,000 Students • 7,000 Teachers • 470 Researchers

  41. Calculus AB: Coordination.- Carmen Rodríguez Armenta (carmenta@cencar.udg.mx ) • Universidad de Guadalajara http://www.udg.mx • 72,000 Students • 13,000 Teachers • 480 Researchers

  42. 4.- UANL Case

  43. 5.- DGTVE Case

  44. 6.- Next steps

  45. Translation of Science Courses • Addendum to the Mathematics agreement to include science • Signed in April 4, 2006 • The following courses will be translated to Spanish • College Physics (Algebra based) • General Physics (Calculus based) • General Biology • Environmental Science

  46. Translation of the four new courses • Instituto Latinoamericano de la Comunicación Educativa (ILCE) http://www.ilce.edu.mx
