III - Cultural software and its applications. 1. Software and participatory platforms for learning; E-learning, mobile learning, online training; 2. Social learning and social reading.
--- The exam is oral and aims to verify not only the acquisition of disciplinary knowledge, but also the ability of the student to apply this knowledge to current training contexts. Students who decide to take the oral exam must study all the volumes listed in the "reference texts" section.
To access the assessment tests, all students (attending and non-attending) must compulsorily register on the university platform. Regular attendance at lessons is recommended.
