The collaborativeworkwas a substantial element to achieve these designs and their implementations,where two researchgroupswith strategic focus coordinated these actions: the Energy and Climate ChangeGroup, the School of Engineering andSciencesandtheResearchandInnovationGroupinEducation, fromtheSchool of Humanities and Education, of Tecnologico deMonterrey. The activities were developed throughfouraxes:experimentationwithprototypingpractices,discovery and linking through social innovation projects), open education (with open train- ing instancesandopen innovation), collaboration (co-creationandnetworking)and research (analyzingopenpractices) (Fig.10.4).

Thewebsite for the promotion of the courses on theEdXplatform is presented in Fig.10.5.
