=== 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 OF THE METHODOLOGIES ===
* Teaching methodologies maintained
-For blended and virtual modality:
Lectures will be taught through the Virtual Classrooms of the Remote Campus, following the official syllabus of the subject. The didactic materials will be adapted by complementing them with clarification documents that will be uploaded to Moovi, whenever necessary. Discussion forums for each thematic blocks will also be enabled through the Moovi platform. In addition, any question or doubt can be posed and solved by e-mail or by personalized assistance through the Virtual Office. Lectures will be recorded to facilitate the teaching of students that could have connectivity problems.
Seminars will be taught through the Virtual Classrooms of the Remote Campus, following the official syllabus of the subject. Discussion forums for two seminars will also be enabled through the Moovi platform. In addition, any question or doubt can be posed and solved by e-mail or by personalized assistance through the Virtual Office. Seminars will be recorded to facilitate the teaching of students that could have connectivity problems.
* Teaching methodologies modified
LABORATORY PRACTICAL
- For a blended modality:
If the totality of practical courses can not be taught due to limitations of capacity, dissections will be carried out in the laboratory while the remaining practices, focused on the identification of different zoological groups, will be replaced by field work.
- For a virtual modality:
If laboratory practical can´t be run in the laboratory, they will be taught through the Virtual Classrooms at the scheduled times, using adapted teaching materials (infographics, photographs and videos). As in the laboratory, record of the attendance will be done. The practices will be recorded to facilitate to facilitate the teaching of students that could have connectivity problems.
COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
- For a blended modality:
Field photographic transect in a rocky intertidal will be done by students. Then virtual groups will be created to work that material to carry out the collaborative work.
- For a virtual modality:
If the field work can´t be done, a virtual photographical transect will be provided to carry outh the collaborative learning.
* Non-attendance mechanisms for student attention (tutoring)
If presonolized assistance is not possible, it will be carried out by email or by using the virtual offices. Also, discussion forums will be created for each thematic block to pose doubts or questions.
* Modifications (if applicable) of the contents
Already explained above
=== ADAPTATION OF THE TESTS ===
The percentages of each methodology will be maintained in both blended and virtual modalities. A modification of the type of test can be done.
Four mid term multiple choice tests (10 minutes) will be done using the Moovi platform. For the final assessment a written test of test responses will be carried out through Moovi.
For a final assessment of the practicals if it cannot be carried out in a laboratory, a series of exercises that the student must solve using Moovi will be proposed.
