The educational offer for the 2015-2016 academic year will include an e-learning class group for some elective courses already taught in the same semester with traditional methods.
Traditional educational activities in class are replaced, in the e-learning class groups, by the participation in specific on-line activities, both asynchronous (i.e. students' individual activities) and synchronous (i.e. videoconference).
On-line activities are set and scheduled by the Course Director. They may include, for instance:
- participation in synchronous activities with teachers and other students. Such activities may consist in debates or question and answer periods regarding course subjects, on-line real-time exercises/on-line lessons etc.
- on-line consultation of specific material (slides, documents etc.);
- participation in on-line forums;
- drafting of electronic documents, both individually and with other students, which may be based on material available on-line.
Recipients
Since e-learning is the only opportunity which allows students to participate virtually in the course, this method provides new services and options compatible with the great mobility required to study abroad and/or to take part in internships in Italy and/or abroad.
Such learning methods are offered only to students unable to attend lessons regularly; however, the traditional methods have preference and are recommended by the University since they are the most effective.
Method of choice
For method of choice see "Administrative procedures, regulations and deadlines".
Course profiles and exam assessment methods
The course profiles of traditional class groups (in class) and of e-learning class groups are identical. However due to different teaching approaches, teachers can diversify supplementary exercises and/or other related activities by offering e-learning students alternate activities.
The exams are held at the university, following traditional methods (in class); the exam calendar is the same for the two class groups. Distance exams are not offered by the university.
Students enrolled in e-learning class groups can take partial exams, if available.
