4. LEARNING STRATEGY

Description of learning strategy:

Case-based learning.

The activities will be developed using the learning strategy based on case studies,
organized in four phases to be developed in the different environments of the course.
In each of the activities of this course, the following four phases for the development
of the case study will be applied:
.
1. Preparation: The student participates individually in the forums with his / her
comments that contribute to an appropriate planning of the work to be done
from the case study.
2. Case clarification: Each student raises concerns about the case study from his
judicious reflection of the case study. The tutor will feed the student using
asynchronous (forum and email) and synchronous (webconference and teaching
 support by skype) ways of communication.
3. Group discussion: Group discussion - The student collaborates with his group
for the development of the work and the group consolidates a final document to
deliver, following the guidelines for each of the activities of the course.
4. Self-assessment: The individual student must carry out a self-assessment of the
work performed. For this you can use the Self-assessment and co-evaluation
format available.
