Considering the uncertain and unpredictable evolution of the health alert caused by COVID-19, the University establishes an extraordinary planning that will be activated when the administrations and the institution determine it. It is based on safety, health and responsibility, and it guarantees teaching in an online or semi-presential modalities. These already planned measures will guarantee, at the required time, the development of teaching in a more agile and effective way, because they will be known in advance by students and teachers through the standardized tool for teaching guides DOCNET.
1. Semi-presential modality
Once the semi-presential teaching is required, it would mean a reduction of the capacity of the teaching spaces used in the face-to-face modality. Therefore, as the first measure of the centre, the capacity of the teaching spaces would be reformulated and informed to the teachers, in order to proceed to reorganize the formative activities for the rest of the semester. It should be noted that the reorganization will depend on the moment throughout the semester in which this semi-presential modality is activated. For the reorganization of the teaching activities, the following guidelines would be followed:
Through the FaiTIC platform, all the students will be informed about the new conditions under which the formative activities and assessment tests will be carried out at the end of the semester.
The tutorial sessions will be carried out by telematic means (email, videoconference, FAITIC forums, ...) with prior agreement.
Once some of the students have carried out experimental or computer laboratory practices in the face-to-face modality, if it is possible, the rest of the students will have the possibility to perform the same or equivalent activities in the same modality.
For the rest of the activities until the end of the semester, it should be done a proper identification of those formative activities which can be done under face-to-face modality and those which will be carried out remotely.
Regarding the potential tools to be applied for the formative activities during the online mode, CampusRemoto and the FaiTIC platform will be used.
2. Online modality
In the event that the non-face-to-face teaching modality is required (suspension of all face-to-face formative and assessment activities), the tools currently available at the University of Vigo, CampusRemoto and the FaiTIC platform will be used. The reorganization will depend on the moment throughout the semester in which this online modality is activated. In the reorganization of the teaching activities, the following guidelines would be followed:
2.1. Communication
Through the FaiTIC platform, all the students will be informed about the new conditions under which the formative activities and assessment tests will be carried out at the end of the semester.
2.2. Adaptation and / or modification of teaching methodologies
As the teaching methodologies have been conceived for the face-to-face teaching modality, the teaching methodologies that would be kept and those which would be modified or replaced in the online modality are indicated below.
The teaching methodologies that would be kept, since they can be used in face-to-face and online teaching mode
- Lecturing
- Practices through ICT
- Case studies
- Project based learning
The teaching methodologies that would be modified are the following
Laboratory practical would be replaced by interactive videos of the technological processes.
2.3. Adaptation of tutorial sessions and personalized attention
The tutorial sessions may be carried out by telematic means (email, videoconference, FAITIC forums, ...) with prior agreement.
2.4. Evaluation
Attendance to practical will be positively valued. Evaluation will be carried out by test and telematic tools offered by teachers and by the university.
