The subject will be based on an active and participative methodology that will promote self-learning and collaborative work between students.

The work methodology will vary depending on the specific blocks developed at each moment.

Theoretical classes will be held in a large group in which explanations and expositions of basic theoretical contents will be developed by the teacher. These theoretical expositions will be completed with debates, exposition of experts, among others.

On the other hand theoretical-practical activities will be carried out through projects, favoring learning using the Learning-Service methodology.

Also, practical classes will be developed in which more specific activities as creation of resources will be carried on.

Group and collaborative work will be encouraged at all times to achieve practical skills.

We will start from the need for collaboration among students for the development of many of the practical activities. We understand the need for cooperative work in their future work so that these skills will be promoted throughout the development of the subject.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

Three fundamental sections will be taken into account:

1.- Commitment and Participation (10%): Given the main aim that is intended with this subject, the attendance and commitment of the student will be valued both with the small work groups and with the whole class group. For the achievement of this 10%, attendance at 80% of the practical classes will be essential.

2.- Evaluation of Theoretical Content (60%): the theoretical contents of the subject will be evaluated based on an individual objective exam that will be carried out at the end of the semester.

3.- Preparation of ICT materials and projects (30%): desing and development of ICT projects (individual or group) that must be  exposed to the entire class group.

To obtain a positive evaluation in the subject must overcome both the theoretical content and the development of materials and projects (at least 50% from each part)
