E-Learning

Online learning with continuous supervision favoring asynchronous communication (Moodle platform).
Each topic of the program ensures, through the realization of several activities (reading and thinking, observing appropriate visual elements, formative activities, discussion and clarification of doubts), the acquisition and consolidation of the relevant knowledge needed to reach the activity’s specific objectives.

The work is developed with resource to relevant bibliography and images, to guarantee that the students become more familiar with the identification, characterization and systematization of each Egyptian artistic manifestation.

The formative activities are practical, with the students facing situations that allow them to activate and reflect critically on the contents present in the bibliographic and iconographic resources consulted.

In the same way, e-folios attempt to assess the ability of the students to apply the general and specific knowledge learnt in the treatment of the programmatic contents addressed. In turn, the questions in the exam or p-folio are equally designed to address the theoretical and practical command of the topics considered.

By considering both the theoretical and practical dimension, the student is expected to acquire and demonstrate the knowledge and basic competences to support scientifically sustained conclusions about ancient Egyptian art in its different dimensions and expressions.

Continuous assessment is privileged: 2 or 3 digital written documents (e-folios) during the semester (40%) and a presence-based final exam (p-folio) in the end of the semester (60%). In due time, students can alternatively choose to perform one final presence-based exam (100%).
