Escalar el aprendizaje digital
Ceibal, una agencia gubernamental en Uruguay, fue fundada para universalizar el acceso a la tecnología digital en el sistema de educación pública uruguayo y es el mayor inquilino de educación de Microsoft en América Latina. En 2023 adoptaron Windows 11 como sistema operativo principal y más de 240 mil estudiantes y profesores de todo Uruguay usaban PC con Windows 11. Su sistema de gestión de aprendizaje CREA vio aumentar las tasas de uso del 55% en 2019 al 86% en 2024.1 La migración también brindó beneficios prácticos: los costos de mantenimiento y actualización disminuyeron, y la compatibilidad entre software y hardware mejoró de manera significativa.
Antes de pasar a Windows 11, los costos de mantenimiento y actualización eran más altos porque cada modelo de dispositivo tenía su propia versión del sistema operativo. Además, la compatibilidad entre software y hardware dificultó aún más las cosas. Al integrar Windows 11, todo se volvió mucho más rápido y simple con mayor seguridad.
Plataforma con visión de futuro para un aprendizaje personalizado
Windows 11 está diseñado para satisfacer no solo las necesidades educativas de hoy, sino también las innovaciones del mañana. A medida que la IA continúa convirtiéndose en una parte integral de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje, las escuelas necesitan herramientas que sean poderosas y prácticas, que ayuden a los educadores a adaptarse sin necesidad de revisar sus flujos de trabajo.
Un ejemplo es Microsoft Learning Zone, una aplicación de Windows diseñada para ahorrar tiempo a los educadores y mejorar la participación de los estudiantes. Creado para PC Copilot+, Learning Zone utiliza IA en el dispositivo para ayudar a los educadores a crear lecciones personalizadas e interactivas a partir de los materiales que ya usan, lo que convierte a una hoja de trabajo o un paquete de diapositivas en actividades listas para los estudiantes en minutos.
Ya sea a través de la introducción de nuevos conceptos, el reforzamiento de ideas clave o la adaptación de la práctica a los alumnos individuales, Learning Zone pone la IA directo en el flujo de trabajo de enseñanza, de manera responsable y privada. Debido a que se ejecuta en el dispositivo, los educadores mantienen el control tanto del contenido como de los datos de los estudiantes.
Disponible en versión preliminar pública, Learning Zone muestra cómo las PC con Windows 11 y Copilot+ pueden admitir la instrucción moderna al tiempo que preservan la privacidad y potencian la creatividad de los educadores. Los educadores también pueden usar contenido confiable integrado de socios de clase mundial, desde la exploración práctica de la NASA y el plan de estudios respaldado por la Universidad Rice de OpenStax hasta el aprendizaje inmersivo basado en juegos de Minecraft Education y Kahoot! , todo integrado a la perfección y listo para inspirar la curiosidad de los estudiantes desde el primer día.
