Objectives

This course is justified by the need to rethink teaching knowledge in response to the challenges posed by the information and knowledge society. It is also supported by national and international guidelines within the framework of the Digital Education Action Plan. The course has a theoretical-practical nature. 

From a theoretical perspective, it explores the concepts of Education for Digital and Media Citizenship (EDMC). From a practical perspective, students will analyze digital educational resources and utilize different media to develop learning objects incorporating curricular content from subjects in group 600. 

 

Learning outcomes and competences

Expected outcomes: 

1. Identify key aspects of EDMC and critically reflect on them based on theoretical and regulatory frameworks. 

1. Evaluate digital educational resources and environments in terms of their potential for participation and inclusion. 

1. Produce learning objects incorporating curricular content from subjects in group 600, using different media.

Teaching methods and learning activities

 

The course, organized around the three outlined themes/contents, is developed through student-centered topics, with a focus on accessibility and the social construction of knowledge. In-person thematic debates, discussions, and reflections in online forums are activities designed to foster interaction, idea-sharing, and the collective construction of knowledge, based on the plurality of experiences and perspectives while valuing diversity. 

The face-to-face component of the course is complemented by a virtual classroom hosted on the University of Porto’s MOODLE Learning Management System, where supplementary learning resources will be provided for each topic to support study and research. These procedures, aimed at organizing and mapping political discourses and theoretical frameworks, will support critical analyses, as well as the reconfiguration, sharing, and creation of mediated resources in theoretical-practical classes.
