The module will begin with an initial face-to-face class that will take place on the scheduled date in the academic calendar. To teach the subject, once the initial meeting has been held, different distance teaching techniques will be used through the tools provided by the Moodle platform (lesson, discussion forums, tasks, etc.). Special use will be made of those that favor discussion and collaborative work. The subject will be taught asynchronously even though face-to-face sessions can be held to clarify doubts if the teacher considers it appropriate.
Tutorials may be face-to-face or virtual.
The evaluation system will combine the different continuous evaluation methods that virtual teaching allows. The follow-up of the tasks, the participation in the forum, in the glossary, in the lessons, will be monitored to assess the acquisition of skills by the students and will serve to achieve the final grade.
The students will dedícate a mínimum of 51 hours to the study of the topics presented in the modula and to the completion of tasks of both individual and group work
The preparation of the subject does not present special difficulties.
Participation in tasks of a collaborative nature will be especially taken into account, so students must make an effort to be present from the first moment in the forums and other group work spaces. The evaluation of their presence in the tasks will be done taking into account both quantitative aspects (number of interventions) and qualitative aspects (quality of the contributions to the group's work).
