Methodology:
Autonomous
With the people having access to the didactic material of the Certificate (calendar, delivery dates, readings, and learning activities), they can decide their study rhythm, taking into account various aspects such as the place and the time to take the classes or make the activities.
Interactive
●The contents for synchronous (classes) and asynchronous activities (forums, readings, videos, etc.) are designed to promote the participation of all participants through spaces to encourage dialogue and the construction of meaningful learning by building a bridge between the previous knowledge and the new knowledge.
● The Certificate favors the exploration, inquiry, production, and exchange of knowledge to appropriate the knowledge and in the future share it.
Reflexive
People will reflect on the multiple topics provided, relating them to their reality. To do this, different resources are used to develop the Certificate. Here are some of them:
● Educational platform for the Certificate: it is the most important resource for the development of content and asynchronous activities throughout the course.
● Videoconference transmission program: It is a learning environment that facilitates the interaction between the headquarters and the people connected online, allowing communication, learning, and the development of activities in real-time during the synchronous phase of the Certificate.
● Readings and videos: they facilitate the understanding of the contents of the Certificate, being adapted and systematized exclusively for people according to their professional profiles.
● The participant's guide: contains the information necessary to organize the study throughout the Certificate. It presents the general data, the Manual of the platforms, the explanation of the contents and the academic calendar, as well as the communication, collaboration, and evaluation activities.
