Crowdsourcing is a means by which public interest is sought and
leveraged to achieve specific goals, and this fascinating study
highlights how the model has been used to challenge the effects of
the COVID-19 pandemic. The book investigates what factors have
encouraged the use of crowdsourcing during the pandemic, as well as
those issues which have restricted its use. It is illustrated with
four detailed case studies, covering the fields of education and
health, demonstrating how crowdsourcing as a means of crisis
management has, ultimately, been used to influence and develop
public policy. A timely analysis of this emerging concept, the book
will appeal to researchers and practitioners across health and
social care, public policy and management, and the voluntary sector
more generally.
The health emergency caused by COVID-19 has been a global
challenge. During this period, it was necessary to quickly develop
solutions that were able to cope with the pandemic and help
mitigate the effects that the new coronavirus was causing in many
sectors. This book analyzes how gamification and artificial
intelligence (AI) have been used during the COVID-19 pandemic in
health and education. To this end, a review of the main
applications of gamification and AI during this period is made. We
also analyze four cases framed in health care and education in
which both resources, gamification and AI, are combined and their
usefulness in the context characterized by COVID-19 is analyzed.
Finally, some of the ethical issues surrounding gamification and AI
in this scenario are examined.
This book presents a review of preparation methods for
environmentally friendly nanocomposite materials. It describes the
combination of biodegradable and biocompatible polymer matrices
with nanoparticles, leading to finished products preferably
prepared by sustainable methods. The chapters also describe how the
addition of synthetic or non-biodegradable particles can influence
the properties of the final products. This book presents a general
overview of the process from the preparation to the final
applications of green nanocomposites. In addition, the book also
details the trends, challenges, and prospects of this type of
composites. The content can be divided into two sections. The first
one presents a brief introduction about the importance of keeping
the environment free of non-degradable pollutants. It also
describes fundamentals, trends, and general applications of green
materials. The second section focuses on the description of some of
the green-based materials most used nowadays and other innovative
materials, just like elastomers of natural origin. The book
comprises the reintegration of these materials into the
environment, followed by some biomedical, biological, and energy
storage applications.
Este libro se encuadra en el ambito de la transformacion digital y
la creatividad en Educacion Superior, profundizando en el
crowdsourcing gamificado y exponiendo como este enfoque innovador
puede servir de herramienta para la creacion de eventos educativos
que potencien la creatividad de las nuevas generaciones de
estudiantes en el contexto universitario. Sus objetivos son revisar
la literatura referente a ambos conceptos, crowdsourcing y
gamificacion, exponer una propuesta de como pueden ser adaptados a
la organizacion de eventos educativos y presentar un caso real de
exito desarrollado a traves de esta metodologia en Educacion
Superior.
