Teaching Methods
The lessons are delivered
remotely and will alternate
with face-to-face meetings
(blended e-learning mode),
thus combining learner comfort
and training efficacy. The distance
lessons can be followed using
PCs, tablets and smartphones, 24
hours a day and for an unlimited
number of times. The platform
makes it possible to consult the
teaching and research material
(documents, slides, videos, etc.),
as well as to carry out exercises
and self-learning tests. There
will be 7 face-to-face meetings
in Rome held in the period
between March-and November
(approximately one day per
month excluding summer
periods).
