No Bloque II, ao tratarse dun mestardo interuniversitario, empregarase a plataforma de teleformación cread polo rpofesor para a materia (O Moodle institucional non soporta acceso de alumnos de diferentes universidades) Todos os traballos son entregados a través de Moodle, en formato dixital sen necesidade de imprimilos, contribuindo deste modo a unha educación baseada nun modelo sostible. |
