=== 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.
=== ADAPTATION INTO A DISTANCE-LEARNING ENVIRONMENT ===
If a new lockdown situation might appear, leading to a non-presential and online scenario, the following modifications might apply:
=== CONTENTS ADAPTATION ===
3.1 Theoretical contents
Theoretical classes and contents should not be affected by an online scenario. In case the schedules are tighten, contents will be adapted to the new situation, in order to guarantee the proper achievement of the competences and learning outcomes of the subject.
3.2 Laboratory sessions
Since it will not be possible to provide laboratory classes, those practices will be replaced by their equivalents in an online environment.
In particular, the next changes will be applied:
Practice 3: Movement detector radar
The contents of this laboratory class will be replaced by experimentation with a continuous-wave radar simulator. In the maximum extent possible, similar scenarios will be replicated, so that the student might be seeing similar effects to a real environment.
Practice 5: Optoelectronic systems
The loss of this practical class might have an important impact in the learning outcomes (specially LO 5.3). In this case, real equipment will be replace by the demonstrative videos (or similar multimedia resources) to explain how these devices work.
Practice 6: Underwater acoustics
This practice will be replaced by underwater acoustic simulators, in order to provide similar or equivalent results.
The rest of the laboratory sessions should not be affected by an online situation.
=== METHODOLOGIES ADAPTATION ===
A new lecturing methodology should be added:
Virtual session:
Classes will be provided by means of videoteleconference (VTC) within a virtual room. Resources will depend on the platform used, but will include virtual blackboards/whiteboards, chats, file sharing, audio and video transmission, polls, …
=== ASSESSMENT ADAPTATION ===
Assessment methodologies regarding weights, minimums, and number of tests will be the same in any scenario (in-person or online classes).
In an online environment, the difference might be the format of the assessment test, that will take place within the platform FAITIC-MOODLE and Campus Remoto from the University of Vigo (and/or similar platforms).
