Given the uncertainty in the evolution of the health alert caused by the COVID-19, the University has established an extraordinary planning that will be activated at the time when the administrations and the institution itself determine it, based on criteria of safety, health and responsibility, to guarantee teaching in a non-attendance or partially attendance framework. The provision of these measures guarantees, at the required time, the development of teaching in a more agile and effective way, since they are known in advance by students and teachers through the standardised and institutionalised tool of the DOCNET teaching guides.
In accordance with the instructions received from the Vice-Rector's Office of Academic Planning and Teaching, the three scenarios listed below must be taken into account, with their corresponding levels of contingency:
SCENARIO 1. Face-to-face mode.
All teaching will be carried out in a face-to-face manner, both for theoretical and practical classes, in the usual way contemplated for the subject in the years prior to 2020.
SCENARIO 2. Blended learning
In the case of the activation by the university authorities of this modality of mixed education, such a circumstance would imply a reduction in the capacity of the spaces habitually used for teaching in the classroom modality, for which the centre will first communicate to the teachers of the subject information regarding the new capacity authorised for the teaching spaces, so that the reorganisation of the training activities can proceed during the rest of the term. It should be noted that the reorganization to be carried out will depend on the time (during the semester) when the said teaching modality is activated. The reorganization of the teaching will be carried out in accordance with the following guide:
la) Communication. All students will be informed through the FAITIC platform of the specific conditions in which the training activities and other evaluation tests will be carried out to end the semester.
*b) Adaptation of the tutorials and personalised attention. Tutorial sessions may be carried out by telematic means (e-mail, videoconference, virtual rooms, FAITIC forums, etc.), if this has been the case, after arranging a date and time, in the professors' virtual offices.
c) Presential and non-presential activities. Those training activities that can be carried out by all the students in a face-to-face way will be indicated (prioritizing as far as possible practical activities) and those training activities that will be carried out remotely (theoretical classes are often those that reduce least their efficiency with this modality), with the purpose of planning their effective performance.
d) Contents to be taught and learning objectives The contents and learning objectives will not be modified as a consequence of this teaching mode.
y) Programming of teaching. Class schedules and calendars and the different activities of the subject are maintained.
f) Bibliography or additional material to facilitate self-learning. The teaching staff will provide students with the necessary teaching material to meet the support needs of the students for the subject, according to the circumstances existing at any given time, through the FAITIC platform.
g) Evaluation. Tests are not modified. The type of tests are maintained, adapting their performance to the circumstances of each moment. The weight of these tests may be changed, after informing the students.
h) For the performance of *practice *and *work/*virtual projects, the free software that students must have installed in their personal computers will be indicated.
As for the tools to be used in the training activities to be carried out in non-attendance mode, the Remote Campus and FAITIC platforms will be used, which may be complemented with other solutions to meet specific needs that may arise over the period.
SCENARIO 3. Non-presential mode
In the event that the totally non-attendance teaching modality is activated (suspension of all attendance training and evaluation activities), the platforms available at the University of Vigo will be given priority: Remote Campus and FAITIC. The conditions of the reorganization to be carried out will depend on the moment during the semester in which the said teaching modality is activated. This reorganization of the teaching will be carried out in accordance with the following guide:
a) Communication. All students of the subject will be informed through the FAITIC platform of the specific conditions in which the training activities and other evaluation tests will be carried out in order to complete the semester
