=== EXCEPTIONAL PLANNING ===
Given the uncertain and unpredictable evolution of the health alert caused by COVID-19, the University of Vigo establishes an extraordinary planning that will be activated when the administrations and the institution itself determine it, considering safety, health and responsibility criteria both in distance and blended learning. These already planned measures guarantee, at the required time, the development of teaching in a more agile and effective way, as it is known in advance (or well in advance) by the students and teachers through the standardized tool.
=== MODIFICATIONS IN CASE OF VIRTUAL TEACHING ===
CONTENTS
Due to the experimental nature of the practices of the subject (PL2, PL3, PL4, PL5, PL6 and PL7), the majority of the sessions of Materials Science and Technology are carried out, in part, in laboratories by the students using specific equipment and reactives difficult to access for students.
In order that the student acquire most of the knowledge and skills necessary to pass this part of the subject, the use of demonstration videos supported by virtual classrooms will be offered to the students, where the teacher can explain the processes that the student made in the face-to-face case.
In addition, a large number of these practices (PL2, PL3, PL6, PL7) require a part of work in non-experimental practice sessions, which the student can do without being in person in the laboratory. The teacher will facilitate the experimental part so that the student can easily complete various practices.
TEACHING METHODOLOGY
A new teaching methodology is added:
Master session and / or synchronous online meeting (theory or practical session): It is taught through a web video conferencing platform. Each virtual classroom contains a variety of display panels and components, its layout can be customized to the needs of the classroom. In the virtual classroom, teachers (and those authorized participants) can share their team's screen or files, use a whiteboard, chat, stream audio and video, or participate in interactive online activities (surveys, questions, etc.)
EVALUATION
The evaluation tests will be carried out by combining the FAITIC-Moodle remote teaching platform and the Remote Campus of the University of Vigo.
