Student Services
Seguimiento personalizado
We have a team of professionals - tutor teachers - who monitor the participants' performance daily, verifying their degree of participation in the training activities and the results they obtain in the module evaluations. They regularly update the virtual campus with news of interest to students, and send reminders of the tasks that they must carry out, according to the academic calendar. The monitoring carried out by the tutors is key to guiding the participants in time management and keeping them motivated during the development of the program.
Monitoring is carried out taking into account the profile and needs of each student. The virtual campus tools are used to obtain information about the participants' access to the program content, and their involvement in the discussion or debate activities. Additionally, personalized contacts are made by email and by telephone calls to find out the causes of low student participation, if this occurs. During face-to-face sessions, students can hold meetings with tutors to establish the most appropriate communication channels throughout the program.
Students have a series of tools that allow them to make daily queries about the content of the modules and transmit, to those responsible for the program, any incident that may arise in its development. The tutors keep a record of the queries made by the participants and are committed to providing a response within a period of no more than 72 hours.
The tutorials are carried out by activating virtual forums or arranging telephone calls between the participants and the module coordinators. In any case, it is up to the program management to define the most appropriate modality, depending on the needs of the modules and the number of participants enrolled in the program.
Consultations with teachers must be made through the virtual campus, avoiding the use of email. Inquiries can be directed through the forums or direct messages.
streaming
The use of streaming in courses taught online fosters closer contact between faculty and students, and encourages participation. The course teaching guides specify the dates and times of the sessions that will be held via streaming . For those participants who cannot connect at the moment, the sessions will be recorded so that they can view them whenever they wish.
In the final part of the streaming , students will have the possibility to ask the teachers of each module live, in order to clarify or expand on those aspects that they consider appropriate.
