Teaching Methods
The e-learning paradygm provides the very methodological approach which translates into the basic structure of the syllabus. Open sourceware research, as well as individual and e-learning cooperative work, will lead to the colective and/or individual production of written texts (extremely precise glossary entries, source research reports, forum discussions, small essay), which in turn will be criss-crossingly submitted to the critical evaluation and commentaries from the other subgroups involved, observing a rather strict calendar of activities under the guidance of the teacher/coordinator. The intended result is the colective construction in text form of the very knowledge to be acquired (within a process submitted to a purposedly tightened space-time schedulle).
All the e-learning moments are constantly being assessed on a feedback learning basis according to precise instructions, thus embedding evaluation in the learning process as such.
