These activities are always presented in the context of journalistic scenarios, which allows students to understand the usefulness and role that documentation techniques play in their future profession.
The sessions include a theoretical part and another practical part in a computerized classroom. The practical exercises are carried out in pairs and, in some cases, in groups. Attendance at group work sessions is mandatory. Some of the group activities will require an oral presentation.
In the context of the subject, the Virtual Campus (Moodle classroom) is a widely used tool. Students are recommended to visit it regularly.
