Welcome
From the start of the 2008/9 academic year the Faculty of Education will be offering Erasmus Programme students a e-learning service.
The service aims to introduce exchange students to the basic concepts and specific terminology relating to each subject.
Each course is introduced by support information, in the form of a glossary or a bibliography; it sets cognitive goals or provides conceptual maps, which are designed to represent the global conceptual structure and relative internal and external connections.
The contents are developed according to a hierarchical structure which focuses on dependencies and parallelisms, links and levels of detail. This kind of information gives added value to the contents and makes the service useful to all students, not only those on international exchange programmes. The systemic organization offers a holistic approach to the subject whilst at the same time offering, information split into single concepts.
The exchange student can use the acquired knowledge during the exam, with any courses that recognize the distance learning contents as an integral part of the programme.
This is, to all intents and purposes, a e-learning course, with specific characteristics which make it new.
The learning resources have been selected especially to be distributed through the Web, using a platform that provides the necessary homogeneity and organic features.
The service is free. It requires individual commitment and takes the form of self-study in the spirit the culture of lifelong learning.
The contents and the didactics follow mainly a "distributive" pattern, enriched by tutorial and self-assessment activities introducing constructivist elements and encouraging personal elaboration.
Since this service is potentially open to everybody, it can only provide a low level of interactivity. The feedback information concerning the use of materials derives from the functionality of the platform (monitoring), while assessment of learning is carried out by traditional means used by each individual teaching area.
Self-assessment activities allow for on-going evaluation.
