Teaching and learning methodology:

The training modality is asynchronous e-learning, so participants will access

a virtual educational platform (LMS). Activities are conducted remotely, which
allows for flexibility in schedules, so that each participant can distribute their
time and be autonomous in their learning process. Nevertheless, the teaching process-

 learning will be accompanied by a tutor, who will have a role as a mediator and facilitator, offering
support for participants in technical and also administrative aspects during the activity of
training.

Regarding teaching-learning strategies, video classes, screencasts, and

interactive classes for the presentation of content and application activities that will be
developed from questionnaires and tasks, aimed at having the participants solve
problems/situations applying the learned knowledge and checking the understanding of the
contents through automated tests.

Participants will also have open consultation forums, as support for their process of
learning, where they will be able to interact with their peers and tutor.

Assessment of Learning:

Three online tests, all with equal weighting (40% in total)

Three application activities, the third with double weighting. (60% in total)
