Organizations have suffered a large (r)evolution at the social, economic and technological levels. A change of paradigm in what comes to information systems and technologies (IST) used in the day-to-day life of every citizen, by itself, does not sustain such a transformation; it is therefore necessary a change of culture and behaviour. The use of IST in an appropriate and integrated way with the organization's ...
The main purpose of this paper is to help small businesses such as startups to successfully adopt and implement digital marketing as a strategy in their business plan. Given that many of these companies have a considerable number of fragile internal characteristics, such as a lack of access to financial capital while lacking also qualified human resources, they can't adopt a technology without first evaluating ...
The teaching is undergoing an evolution that goes from the traditional lecture classroom, through distance learning (e_Learning), to the combination of the two forms – Blended Learning (b_Learning). In this context, and given past experiences of teaching evolution and more specifically teaching-learning process in institutions of higher education is moving from a traditional model to a Blended Mobile Learning (...

Open Educational Resources (OERs) are materials shared in freely accessible repositories for using by professors, students, and researchers in educational contexts. The low production of OERs has led to research efforts to understand the causes and propose alternatives to foster the c...
In this study, causal inference is integrated into deep reinforcement learning to enhance sampling in classical control environments. The problem we’re working on is "classical control," where an agent makes decisions to keep systems balanced. With the help of artificial intelligence and causal inference, we have developed a method that adjusts a deep Q-network’s experience memory by adjusting the priority of t...
