Methodology
A temporary planning around 15 weeks is established to develop the 10 chapters of the course, which is organized around 3 parts. This facilitates the continuous work carried out by the students, as well as the permanent feed-back on their performance offered either by the professor or by other students enrolled in the course.
The course provides students with a set of tools that facilitate the achievement of the established learning outcomes in an online environment.
Each of the 10 chapters consists of several content modules, each of which includes a 5-10 minutes explanatory video or an easy-to handle teaching note prepared by the faculty, in which the fundamental learning elements are detailed.
Linked to each chapter the following tools and materials are presented:
- A set of external references of interest related to the subject matter: mainly scientific or informative articles and/or videos.
- A short training test to facilitate the understanding of the acquired knowledge.
- A discussion forum, allowing the permanent interaction of the students, with each other, and with the faculty, in order to resolve and discuss issues of interest related to the topic at hand.
- One or several practice-oriented individual assignments.
Finally, once all three parts of the course have been completed, students will be required to perform on:
- A final exam, which will necessary take place face-to-face (not online) as required by the norms of the University.
- A final project, designed to assess on the students' acquisition of leadership abilities.
Based on the methodology described above, the training activities to be carried out, and their weight in hours, are detailed below. All of them (except the final exam, as required by University norms) take place in a virtual environment.
