Description |
Introductory activities |
Activities used at beginning of any teaching-learning process to obtain information regarding student competences, interests and/or motivations in relation to specific learning outcomes, which educators may then incorporate in their planning to create more meaningful, effective learning experiences based on students’ existing knowledge. |
Online forum |
Informal discussion space for students to exchange ideas concerning specific problem or topic. Interaction takes place in online learning environment using asynchronous communication tools (‘forum’). |
Document analysis |
Research skills development involving use of audiovisual and/or bibliographical documents (documentary or film extracts, news items, advertising images, photographs, articles, legal texts, etc.) relating to specific topic of study, with targeted analysis activities. Used as introduction to topic, as focus for case study, to explain abstract processes and present complex situations, or as strategy for synthesising content (theoretical and practical). |
Collaborative learning |
Guided teaching-learning procedures (overseen in person and/or using ICT methods) based on organisation of class in which students work together to solve tasks assigned by teacher, with aim of optimising their learning experience and that of other members of group. |
Binary questions |
Objective test in which students are required to respond to a specific question using one of two closed answer options. (Answer options for binary questions are ‘yes/no’ or ‘true/false’.) |

Program Green Campus
Empower of Sciences To help to achieve some sustainable immediate surroundings
and fulfil with the point 6 of the Environmental Statement of the faculty of
Sciences (2020), the documentary works that realise in this matter: a. They will request mostly in virtual format and computer support b. To realise in
paper: -they will not employ plastic -will realise impressions to double expensive -will employ paper
recycled -will avoid the
realisation of drafts To Environmental Statement is available in: https://ciencias.udc.es/images/Facultade/Green_Campus/Regulamento_Comit%C3%A9_Green_Campus_FCiencias.pdf |
