Didactic methods

The lessons are divided into moments of frontal teaching and analysis of application cases through the support of multimedia tools (slides, videos, audio fragments, graphics, infographics, animations, applications in demo mode). There are also some testimonies and guided exercises for the deepening of good practices in the management of Web and Social Network tools for training and teaching purposes. The course teaching material is available and can be consulted asynchronously in the online environment dedicated to teaching on the University Moodle platform.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam (for both attending and non-attending students) is divided into three steps:

STEP 1: A questionnaire to verify knowledge relating to parts 1 and 2 of the program. This test is mandatory and consists of 60 questions of various types. Test duration: 60 minutes.

STEP 2: A questionnaire to verify knowledge relating to part 3 of the program. This test is mandatory and involves answering open-ended questions. Test duration: 60 minutes. Access to this test is contingent upon passing Step 1.

STEP 3 (optional): Oral interview to verify the knowledge related to one of the books indicated by the teacher. Access to the test is subject to passing the written exam (Step 1) and the oral exam (Step 2).

During the lessons, students will have the opportunity to take some intermediate tests.

Evaluation criteria

Step 1 - The structure of the questionnaire reflects the logical architecture of the didactic objectives relating to parts 1 and 2 of the program. The various types of questions correspond to the different levels of complexity of the contents (levels 1 and 2 of Bloom's Taxonomy). Maximum score = 15 points. Minimum exceeding threshold = 9/15.

Step 2 - The structure of the questionnaire reflects the logical architecture of the didactic objectives relating to part 3 of the program. The open questions correspond to the different levels of complexity of the contents (levels 1 and 2 of Bloom's Taxonomy). Maximum score = 15 points. Minimum exceeding threshold = 9/15.

Step 3 - Oral exam (optional). The outline of the oral exam reflects the logical architecture of the didactic objectives of the reference manual. The open questions correspond to the different levels of complexity of the contents (levels 1 and 2 of Bloom's Taxonomy). Maximum score = 3 points. There is no minimum threshold for exceeding.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final grade of the module is calculated out of thirty and is equivalent to the sum of the scores obtained in the two compulsory tests and in the optional oral test. Points exceeding the maximum value (30) will automatically be converted into "honors". Minimum passing threshold = 18/30.
