- Good practices in virtual leadership – the e-3cs rule (communication, trust and coordination)Publication . Samartinho, João; Silva, Paulo; Faria, JorgeStudies conducted under a doctorate programme, aiming at designing a Skills and Good Practices Model in e-leadership, clearly identified, from literature review, eDelphi study and further analysis of the results obtained from an interview Focus Group, a set of items linked to e-Leaders specific skills and good practices required in the process of collaborative learning within virtual teams ( e- Teams): “ 11 – Effective e-leader communication”, “ 5 - e-leader skills to building trust”, “12- Operating coordination of the Virtual Team”; and “4 – E-leader behaviours to promote effectiveness”. Since these items are considered of utmost importance in the e-Delphi study and in the Focus Group, they validate the areas of the Skill Model MOODO COMPETE E-LEADER, namely the Operational Coordination, Training and Education, Architecture and Technological Infrastructures. For each of these areas a set of guidelines is presented that provide the e-Leader a series of good practices that facilitate the making of a Global Environment, Virtual, to build High Levels of Trust within the e-Team and the spread of the Creation and Sharing of Knowledge. This environment must be supported by an appropriate structure of empowered leadership. The article show also a model for understanding the specific skills and characteristics of e-leadership in Learning Management Systems (LMS), used for implementation of virtual teams. A framework was done, to identify skills and characteristics of the e-leaders, based on the review of literature about the e-leadership paradigm and its relationship with the virtual teams.

- E-Learning-Um modelo para cursos online:projeto de apoio ao software CarsoftPublication . Patusco, Pedro; Bernardino, Pedro; Samartinho, JoãoOs trabalhadores sempre desejaram trabalhar num ambiente livre de stress. Para isso têm de se sujeitar a formações para evoluir dentro da cadeia empresarial. Existem várias formas de presenciarem uma formação: presencialmente em reunião; no trabalho; em casa no seu computador. Esta última opção enquadra-se em eLearning. Globalmente, muitos consultores/formadores têm conhecimentos para realizarem vários tipos de formações e eles personalizam os módulos de acordo com requisitos específicos dos seus clientes. Um dos princípios básicos de eLearning é a capacidade de chegar aos estudantes apesar das distâncias, onde as suas condições os possam privar de formação a tempo inteiro. Neste caso o estudo baseia-se numa formação online para trabalhadores do ramo automóvel, cujas as empresas adquiriram o software CarSoft. Na formação, estará explicado passo a passo a utilização de todos os tipos de ecrãs e funcionalidades disponíveis ao utilizador do CarSoft. O projeto será desenvolvido na plataforma eRaizes.Redes, plataforma de eLearning do Instituto Politécnico de Santarém.
- The complex evaluation of the impact of covid-19 pandemic at universities:a soft computing approachPublication . Zapletal, Frantisek; Hudec, Miroslav; Svana, Milos; Chytilova, Lucie; Hlavacek, Karel; Lokaj, Ales; Urbanek, Anna; Glova, Jozef; Samartinho, João; Rodrigues, Cristina; Guonason, StefanThe COVID-19 pandemic impacted the educational process since the teaching process has been forced to go online in many countries. This enforced change revealed the weaknesses and strengths of the national educational systems and particular institutions. This article aims to analyse the impact of COVID-19 at selected European universities and assess the satisfactionof students, teachers, IT staff and management. This study is unique for its systematicity and complexity – it aggregates the opinions of all interested groups of stakeholders, distinguishes several time periods (before, during and after the pandemic), and allows the respondents to express hesitance in their evaluation. The evaluation model uses fuzzy sets to capture the uncertainty and to aggregate the opinions of different stakeholder groups. The empirical results show that most of the satisfaction development is the same or similar for all institutions examined. Then, the pandemic strongly influenced the satisfaction of all stakeholder groups at the universities examined. This impact was mostly negative, however, several lessons learnt have been revealed. Therefore, it was shown that it is highly beneficial to include these aspects to obtain a reliable picture of overall satisfaction.
- Model for the perception of the specific e-leadership skills and features in learning management systems environmentsPublication . Samartinho, João; Faria, Jorge; Silva, PauloThis article proposes a model for understanding the specific skills and characteristics of e-leadership in Learning Management Systems (LMS), used for implementation of virtual teams. A framework was done, to identify skills and characteristics of the e-leaders, based on the review of literature about the e-leadership paradigm and its relationship with the virtual teams. It also presents the empirical model and an explanatory table with the methodology of research and the main approaches in the study. From the characterization of skills and characteristics of e-leadership, we built the representation code used for the Comprehension Skills Model. In the end we present the conclusions which offer a few guidelines for future work.

- Virtual leadership in intercontinental projects:a case study of the University of Santiago LMS platform as an educational strategyPublication . Samartinho, João; São João, RicardoThe implementation of a Learning Management System (LMS) platform as a support to the course units of the degrees held at the University of Santiago (US), in Cape Verde, acts both as a project and an intercontinental challenge of educational and pedagogical exploration resources. At the same time it is an enhancer and bounding element of the education in an insular country formed by ten volcanic islands in the central region of the Atlantic Ocean, 570 kilometers from the western African coast. Due to the geographical dispersion of students, teachers and skilled technicians, distance teaching plays a major role in training, preparing an updating new professionals in different and diverse fields offered by the US. The implementation of an LMS platform project, which began in 2017 settles in a protocol of cooperation between two higher education institutions: the Polytechnic Institute of Santarém (IPSantarém) in Portugal and the University of Santiago located in the Santiago Island in Cape Verde. The project consists on development and personalization of a LMS platform to support teaching (degrees and masters) in e-learning and blended-Learning models. The platform, a constant work in progress, is hosted on the IPSantarém server and the needed training for teachers and skilled technicians to use it correctly has been given through blended-Learning with face-to-face sessions in Cape Verde. Regarding the stages of conception, implementation, operationalization and development of the US LMS platform, the priority is bringing institutions closer by fostering bonds of cooperation, a growing and consistent trust based on effective dialogue supervised by technical teams that promote the training of teachers and IT staff by exploring e-Learning and blended-Learning environments present in the platform. This virtual leadership strategy is based on the 3Cs rule (Communication, Confidence and Coordination), Samartinho et al. (2014). It leads to a strategic synergy between two institutions where language and cultural bonds between the two peoples are clear. To enhance success the project adopts a model based on the role of the virtual leader (e-Leader) and his virtual work teams using specific IT tools. This model called ´Model for the perception of the specific e-leadership skills and features in learning management systems environments´ was suggested by Samartinho (2014) for global projects with characteristics and technical constrains identical to the ones here presented. For a better understanding of the project, a timeline of its development is presented (June 2017 - May 2019). Furthermore, a summary of the failures detected as well of the solutions found will be The US LMS platform is an example of a successful project regarding implementation, development, training and spreading. It is on an assessment/development stage to ensure all the future training needs in the US degrees and for it to succeed the adopted model will be crucial. This project is also much benefited from the great commitment of all parts involved. The model used in this project is now expected to be adopted in future projects involving institutions from Africa, America and Asia where Portuguese is an official language.
