Questions for the academic director
Integrating Microsoft 365 and Teams in the classroom
What teaching methodology is used?
At TEEECH®, the online teaching methodology is characterized by its innovation and flexibility:
• 100% Online Methodology: TEECH® courses are taught entirely online, meaning that students can study from anywhere and at their own pace. This flexibility allows them to adapt their learning to their schedules and needs.
• Virtual Campus: Through the virtual campus, students access course content, interact with study materials, participate in discussion forums and carry out activities. The campus is a central platform where all the resources necessary for learning are found.
• Live Classes: Teachers teach live classes through video conferencing tools. Students can attend these classes in real time or watch the recordings later. This live interaction allows for clarification of doubts and encourages active participation.
• Relearning Method: TEEECH® uses a relearning method, which is based on the constant review and updating of content. This ensures that students are up to date with the latest trends and developments in their area of study.
In short, the teaching methodology at TEEECH® combines the convenience of online learning with real-time interaction and adaptability to individual student needs.
Are there opportunities for mentoring or additional support?
Yes, TEEECH® offers tutoring and additional support for students. Our team of tutors is available to provide assistance in specific areas of the course. You can schedule individual sessions or participate in study groups to clarify doubts, review concepts, and receive personalized guidance. In addition, the virtual campus also offers resources such as reference materials, practical exercises, and discussion forums where you can interact with other students and share knowledge.
What are the assessment strategies used in the course?
In the course taught online through our TEEECH® campus, students are faced with various assessment strategies to measure their progress and learning:
• Self-Assessment by Topic: At the end of each topic or unit, students participate in a self-assessment. This allows them to reflect on their understanding, identify areas for improvement, and consolidate what they have learned. The self-assessment may include multiple choice and/or true/false questions.
• Final Self-Assessment: At the end of the course, students take a final self-assessment. This test covers all of the course content and assesses their overall understanding. It includes review questions on all topics, allowing for an overall assessment of the knowledge acquired. It may include multiple choice and/or true/false questions.
• Practical Work: In addition to assessments, students must complete a practical project. This project allows them to apply the knowledge acquired in real situations. It can be a report, a simulation, a presentation or any task relevant to the course topic.
In summary, the combination of self-assessments, final assessment and practical work guarantees a comprehensive and meaningful assessment of student learning in the virtual environment.
