  Description
Introductory activities Activitats encaminades a prendre contacte i a recollir informació dels estudiants i presentació de l'assignatura a través d'una de les webconferències.
videoconferencing Exposició de continguts de l'assignatura, presentació d'activitats, resolució de problemes i dubtes mitjançant webconferència. Aquesta activitat requereix presència síncrona d'estudiants i professorat. Aquesta activitat serà enregistrada en el moment del seu desenvolupament per tal de posar-la a dispocisió dels estudiants a l'aula virtual i facilitar-ne la seva consulta posterior.
Reading written documents and graphs Lectura i treball de documentació seleccionada o elaborada pel professorat, amb l'objectiu de facilitar a l'estudiant el deenvolupament de les competències de caire més teòric i dels coneixements necessaris pel desenvolupament d'activitats pràctiques.
Webcasting Exposició d'alguns continguts de l'assignatura en format vídeo enregistrat prèviament. Aquesta activitat no requereix presència síncrona d'estudiants i professorat.
Problem solving, exercises Resolució per part dels alumnes i amb l'ajut del professor de problemes i exercicis seleccionats.
Forums of debate Els estudiants argumenten, confronten idees o exposen dubtes sobre un tema determinat proposat pel professor o pels propis estudiants, mitjançant l'ús d'eines asíncrones com el fòrum del Campus Virtual.
Self-monitoring activities Activitats proposades que serveixen per a que l'estudiant pugui autoregular el seu aprenentatge. Habitualment seran test d'autoseguiment o preguntes curtes.
Practical cases/ case studies Plantejament d'un cas pràctic obert en la que ha de treballar l'estudiant per donar una solució utilitzant coneixements adquirits durant el curs.
Personal attention Resolució de dubtes de teoria i sorgits de la resolució de problemes i exercicis.
