22910238 - NETWORK COMMUNICATION

The frequency of the course will enable students to learn the general characteristics of digital training, in relation to its history and application of the same identifying the educational paradigms (with particular reference to instructional and constructional point of view) that underlie the different types of training in e-learning and focusing on the communicative mediation online understood as support and facilitation in the relational activities. Furthermore it will be designed a personal ePortfolio in the per-spective of Training and Professional Guidance.
By the study of Network Communications the student will be able to achieve the fol-lowing training objectives:
- Knowledge and understanding: Learn the general characteristics of digital training, in relation to its history and application of the same; Identify the different educational paradigms; to Know the use of ePortfolio and Coppertaive Learning online.
- Applying knowledge and understanding: Understand and apply the practices of peer-tutoring and Coppertaive Learning online; Know and use the Mahara platform for the building of ePortfolio.
- Making judgements: Recognize the cultural and structural obstacles to the dynam-ics of communication online.
- Communication skills: Focus the size of communicative mediation online under-stood as support and facilitation of relational activities; Carrying out online group, aimed at research, study, simulation of professional contexts; Analyze situations of training in network implemented in the field by detecting strengths and weaknesses.
- Learning skills: Use the web to search for documentation; Develope meta-cognitive processes trough the ePortfolio adn Cooperative Learning online.

Programme

Description of the Teaching
The use of digital technologies in professional practice is now a given that peculiarly characterizes our society. ICTs are very important not only in terms of their instrumental use, but especially in relation to the size of communication and relationships that allow access opening to a space-time dimension completely flexible. The purpose of this course is precisely to provide the theoretical and practical tools to build effective online communication and to make possible the construction of a personal ePortfolio.



Teaching Structure
Presence and distance (blended).
The course includes a base path performed in the presence and an on-line path that develops specific topics and fields of interest and offers theoretical and operational activities for the application of acquired knowledge:
Basic course: 36 hours of lectures in the presence (6 credits).
On-line path: 36 hours of training on-line (3+3 credits), to be carried out mainly on the e-learning platform of the Faculty - http: \ \ formonline.uniroma3.it., and on Mahara platform.

1) 3 CREDITS = ePortfolio: construction of a personal Portfolio on the Mahara platform
2) 3 CREDITS = Cooperative learning online: group’s work on the formonline platform as instructed by the teacher

ATTENTION
Students who must achieve 6 credits must perform both online activities indicated.
Students who need to earn 3 credits will be able to choose one of the online activities indicated.



NON-ATTENDING STUDENTS

For the achievement of the 6 CFUs related to the workshop activities, NON-attending students will have to study in depth two of the themes dealt with in the texts indicated in the programme and produce the following materials

a. at least 20 slides (3CFU) in which one of the two chosen themes is explored in depth;
b. a multimedia text of at least 4 pages (Times New Roman 12 font, line spacing 1.5) (3 CFU) in which the other of the two chosen themes is explored.

It is recommended not to reproduce the topics as they are covered in the examination books. The topics chosen should be relevant to the course, but in-depth studies should be carried out on sources other than the texts

Attendance

Attendance can be in person or remotely on a Teams platform if the prerequisites indicated by the university regulations are met.

Type of evaluation

The examinations will take place in presence. The final assessment will take into account the student's ability to: explain the main theories relating to networked learning modes; identify the most salient elements of networked educational communication; recognise the main aspects of networked educational and didactic models and the different types of tutoring corresponding to them; describe the theories underlying the construction of the ePortfolio; report on research experiences carried out internationally and locally on the use of the ePortfolio in different learning contexts. The extent to which the student is able to argue logically, reflect on the arguments presented and generate autonomous and original thoughts will be the subject of the final assessment. For attending students, the examination will assess the degree of application of the theories relating to the ePortfolio in the construction of their own ePortfolio carried out in the specific workshop and, for those taking the 12 cfu examination, the degree of application of the theories relating to online Cooperative Learning in relation to the practical activities carried out in the corresponding workshop will be assessed in addition to the previous one. For non-attending students, the level of application of the theories relating to the topics chosen for in-depth study and the correct execution of the compositions scheduled to replace the in-presence workshops will be assessed. In particular, account will be taken of the multimedia presentation of the topics addressed in the PowerPoint slides and hypermedia text that constitute the activities to be carried out in place of the in-presence workshops, as explained in the course programme.
