Methodology

The activities planned for the treatment of the contents include lectures, seminars, laboratories, workshops and tutorials as well as activities considered autonomous work (readings and practices).

Some activities that will be develop in class and autonomously are: 

  • Reading and discussion of the main concepts and, eventually, presentation of the teaching staff of critical aspects of the subject matter 
  • Provision of resources provided both by teachers as per the student. In some cases suggests its public presentation of some activities,
  • Individual development of the learning portfolio by the student with strong component of self-reflective practice (autonomous work)
  • Practice oriented group. Activity directed face-to-face with orientation in class and eventually out of it in tutoring. 
  • Digital resources creation for forman and informal learning environments.
  • Self and peer assessment activities.

In this subject a class attendance of at least 80% is recommended.

15 minutes of one of the last classes will be used for students to answer the teaching assessment and subject assessment survey.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment

The student could be assessed only if they accomplish the participation and attendance percentage (80%). The student who arrives late or leaves early (before developed 2h of class) sistematically, won't achieve the minimum of attendance and participation.  

Teachers will give the feedback of the evidences within 20 days after the delivery.

The continuous evaluation consists of three activities:

Activity 1: Digital learning portfolio (individual), to be developed during the course of the subject in order to guide the learning process. The portfolio must include: class notes, reflections, schemes, summaries, audiovisual resources and hipertextual resrouces, the activities developed during the subject that th students think that demonstrate their competential development, as well as additional material that students find complementary. Final delivery: 12th January 2024. 50%

Activity 2: Peer-feedback task of the digital learning portfolio. On 18th of november, students must present the state of their learning portfolio to be assessed by a peer. The assessment received by a peer won't be included in their final mark. The assessment made to another peer will be evaluated by the teacher and will be the mark to include in the 15% of the final mark. It is required that the student has their learning portfolio up to date in order to participate in the activity. Otherwise, the student won't participate in this activity and will have a 0, therefore, only being able to achieve a 8.5 as a subject grade. The students who won't attend for medical reasons (certified) will be offered an alternative solution. Date of the activity and delivery: 17th of november 2023. 15% 

Activity 3: Design of a group project. Creation of an educational proposal that integrates digital technology. The project will be developed, mainly, during the classsessions but it will also be necessary autonomous work outside the class. The projectmust integrate the fundamental and pertinent contents worked in the subject, as well as the creation of 3 digital resources. Date of delivery: 26th of January 2024. 35%

Activities 1 and 3 must be pass with a gradeof, at least, 5 out of 10 points. In case of not passing activities 1 and/or 3 with a grade higher than 3.5, the student will be able to reevaluate on 9th of February 2024. In case that the student does not obtain a 3,5 or higher in products 1 or 3, the student could not reevaluate. Activity 2 is developed in class the date assigned, in case that a student does not attend or does not pass that activity, it cannot be reevaluated. 

To pass this subject, it is necessary for the student to also show good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing (Spanish or Catalan). In all activities (individual and group), therefore, linguistic correction, writing and formal aspects of presentation will be considered. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. An activity can be returned (not evaluated) or suspended if the teacher considers that it does not meet these requirements.

Copying or plagiarism will be penalized with a 0 as a grade for the subject, losing the possibility of reassessing it, whether it is an individual or group work (in this case, all members of the group will have a 0). If during the performance of an individual work in class, the teacher considers that a student is trying to copy or some type of document or device not authorized by the teacher is discovered, it will be scored with a 0, with no option recovery, and therefore, the subject will have failed. A work, activity or exam is considered to be "copied" when it reproduces all or a significant part of the work of one / another colleague. A work or activity will be considered "plagiarized" when a part of an author's textis presented as one's own without citing the sources, regardless of whether the original sources are on paper or in digital format.

Single assessment consists of 4 activities to develop and deliver on 26th of January 2024: 

Activity 1: Digital learning portfolio (individual). The portfolio must include: reflections, schemes, summaries, audiovisual resources and hipertextual resrouces, the activities developed during the subject that th students think that demonstrate their competential development, as well as additional material that students find complementary. 25%

Activity 2: Skills exam with contents extracted from the study materials presented in the bibliography of this syllabus. 25%

Activity 3: Creation of an educational proposal that integrates digital technology. The project must integrate the fundamental and pertinent contents worked in the subject, as well as the creation of 3 digital resources. 25%

Actiivty 4: Oral exam related to the educational proposal developed where the student must demonstrate the relationship between their project and the contents of the subject. 25%

Activities 1 and 3 will be delivered on the day assigned for the single assessment (26th of January 2024). Activities 2 and 4 will be developed in class the day assigned for the single assessment (26th of January 2024). 

Students must pass all activities with, at least, 5 points out of 10 in order to pass the subject. In case that one activity is graded between 3,5 and 4,9 the student can reavaluate that activity on 9th of February 2024. The activities graded less than 3,5 cannot be revaluated.
