Výukové metody
The course consists of theory material which the students are required to study independently, individual assignments which are submitted to the teachers as well as a small group project. In the group project the students create short videos or a podcast together in small groups.
The course takes place in an online learning environment Moodle, and half of the students in the course will be from Tampere University of Applied Sciences, Finland and the other half from Masaryk University. There will be online meetings with the other students and teachers through various online communication tools (Zoom, Hangouts or Skype for example). The students will also be working on short video/podcast projects together in small groups. Other learning activities include producing individual audio and video recordings.
The course is divided into 3 sections, which take approximately 3 weeks each to complete with 1 week at the end for feedback. The students need to plan their schedules individually and with their group members.
The course coordinator in Masaryk University (Belinda Allan) is able to help with course queries, problems with technology and overall course running. Topic and assignment queries can be directed to the teacher of that section.
