Eportfolios for Entrepreneurs / Eportafolios Para Emprendedores Peter Mozelius, Stockholm University, Department of Computer ePortfolios for entrepreneurs / ePortafolios para emprendedores Peter Mozelius, Stockholm university, Department of Computer and Systems Sciences Hello, in my secondment in the DiasporaLink project I am developing an online course for Spanish speaking entrepreneurs in the diaspora. Course content is mainly in English but with important activities doubled in Spanish to support the idea that problematic learning is best done in your mother tongue. To get the Spanish right and to get a course design that suits the target group I work together with Daniel and Tomás, who currently take post-graduate courses at the Department of Education at the Universidad del Desarrollo / University of Development in Santiago, Chile. Daniel and Tomás at the first evaluation workshop in Santiago The course has been developed in the framework of Design science with the first requirement phase carried out in Sweden before the visit to Chile. Course content and online activities are currently implemented at the Universidad del Desarrollo (UDD), Department of Economics and Business. Since it is a course for entrepreneurs in the diaspora everything is designed as distance education in the Moodle virtual learning environment. As a third part of the secondment here in Chile the course will have two evaluation phases where the first one was the workshop with Daniel and Tomás with a focus on language, course structure and scaffolding. In the next evaluation session the test pilots will consist of a group of unemployed female entrepreneurs participating in a vocational training programme in Santiago where they learn basic programming and web development. A longer detailed version of this course development will be presented at the 15th European Conference on e-Learning ECEL-2016, at the Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic in October 2016. The research article, including an analysis of the evaluation sessions will be written together with students and researchers at UDD, starting out with some face-to-face brain storming sessions in November 2015. Most of the writing will later be carried out as an online distance collaboration. Universidad Del Desarrollo, Las Condes, Santiago de Chile UDD is a relatively young, private university located in Las Condes, a commune in the north- eastern regions of the Santiago Metropolitan Region close to the Andes. A region of Santiago with a majority of upper-mid- to high income families living in houses built in the 21st century. Las Condes’ financial centre is located around the Apoquindo Avenue, an area also known as Sanhattan. Nueva Las Condes with skyscrapers and the beginning of the mighty Andes Mountains .

    Urban Growth Management for Mobility: The Case of the Santiago, Chile Metropolitan Region Christopher Zegras & Ralph Gakenheimer Ó2000 Abstract In an attempt to clarify the challenges to and potentials for urban growth management in a developing country context, this paper looks at the case of the Santiago de Chile metropolitan area. The paper begins with an overview of the national political and administrative structure in Chile – the institutional context within which growth management must function. The paper continues with a presentation of the Santiago metropolitan area, overviewing demographics, the economy, the transportation system, urban growth patterns, and the environment. Then, the range of current instruments used for growth management in Chile and Santiago are presented, along with other relevant influences such as the public finance system. The following section reviews the real estate market, focusing on the emergence of large developers and their associated “megaprojects,” which play a major role in shaping the city’s growth patterns and trends. Finally, the paper concludes with major findings, recommendations for improvements to the current growth management system, and areas for future work.
