    Teaching methods and instruction

    This course uses blended learning pedagogical approaches, such as flipped classroom, supported by three main learning forms: (1) online contact learning; (2) directed learning; and (3) self-directed Learning. A proportion of the course hours provide the opportunity for online learning contact between students and experts (the facilitators and industry partners). Six to eight interactive online contact learning sessions will be available to participants via interactive learning methods. The forms of directed learning used are individual and team learning activities. Self-directed learning is also an important part of this course and participants are encouraged to develop their ability to learn on their own and thus to take more responsibility for setting the objectives of their study work. This course uses Moodle as the course’s virtual learning environment and Zoom and Microsoft Teams platforms for online learning contact sessions. In short, this course provides:
    * 24 hours of online contact teaching/learning
    * 110 hours of directed and self-directed learning
    * 1 hour of the assessment of one’s own learning

    Learning material and recommended literature

    This course will draw on a fair amount of both conceptual and empirical reading. It requires a high degree of personal study, and participants are expected to find relevant materials, read widely, and think critically. A modest amount of reading prior to each session is to be expected. Below, participants can find several indicative publications, which serve as background to the course. Other resources relevant for this course will be available on the course’s Moodle page.
