Evaluation
If you do not complete any training activities during the first 10 days of the course, your place will automatically be forfeited.
Participation in or viewing of the webinars, completion of all 28 lessons, the CODE Project, and the Classroom Integration Practice are mandatory.
The CODE project and the classroom integration practice will be evaluated by the tutors within the week following the completion of the training. Participants will receive an email from their tutor with their evaluation, and if not satisfactory, they will be encouraged to improve. Participants will be given an additional 15 days to do so.

The course is taught 100% online: students choose the time of day they want to progress through the curriculum, allowing them to balance their work and personal life with this training. 3 synchronous sessions. Welcome and Introduction Webinar. CODE Project Design Webinar. Recommendations on integrating programming into teaching and instructions for uploading the project from Chapter 9 to the platform and practicing integrating programming in the classroom. Future Perspectives Webinar. Connection to the Code.org platform directly from the virtual campus, where they can put their acquired programming knowledge into practice. Students find all the necessary resources on the virtual campus: webinars, learning materials, communication tools with faculty, tutors, and technical support, as well as discussion forums, self-assessment tools, and learning assessment. Language: Spanish. Tutorial support: elearning. Once the evaluation of the CODE project and the classroom integration practice has been received, participants can request the certificates certifying their training on the virtual campus, which are detailed below: CS Fundamental Express Certificate from Code.org (100 hours of training corresponding to the course's academic program) and Microcredential certificate by the USC.
3 synchronous sessions and remote work on the platform.
Observations
