E-learning

Evaluation is made on individual basis and it involves the coexistence of two modes: continuous assessment (60%) and final evaluation (40%). Further information is detailed in the Learning Agreement of the course unit.

Tendo por base o modelo pedagógico de EaD online da UAb para cursos de pós-graduação, a abordagem metodológica da unidade curricular centra-se num processo de ensino/aprendizagem teórico-prático, em regime de e-learning e turma virtual. Assim, o processo de aprendizagem implica uma dupla vertente de estudo e de pesquisa individual e de trabalho colaborativo. Este último desenvolve-se sob a forma de debates assíncronos que têm lugar em fóruns online no espaço virtual, moderados quer pelos docente quer pelos estudantes, e de tarefas conjuntas.
