Teaching Methods
In order to deepen and provide consistency to individual learning and the development of students' projects, a socio-constructivist approach is adopted, using active methodologies that aim to promote dynamic, interactive, and collaborative learning processes. Students will have the opportunity to engage in activities involving autonomous research, analysis, and evaluation of the educational potential of emerging digital tools, individual reflection, collective debate, and presentations related to both the program's themes and the artifacts they will be tasked with producing using appropriate digital tools. In addition to classroom support, students will have access to tutorial support throughout the semester, through an online space for sharing and communication, organized in the form of a forum. The adopted methodology requires students to pay particular attention to attendance (cf. article 105 of the RAUE).
Assessment
I. Continuous Assessment Regime
The assessment takes place throughout the period, and the final grade will be based on the following elements::
A) Creation of an interactive digital manual with proposals for learning opportunities using emerging digital technologies, to be carried out in groups (40% of the final grade, to be submitted by December 6, 2024).
B) Individual production of a video using Generative Artificial Intelligence on a topic chosen from the course syllabus (30% of the final grade, to be submitted by November 15, 2024).
C) Individual Critical Reflection on the learning achieved in the course (30% of the final grade, to be submitted by December 20, 2024).
II. Final Evaluation Regime
The final assessment is based on a theoretical-practical exam, to be conducted during the evaluation period defined in the academic calendar. The grade obtained in this work will account for 100% of the final grade.
