Tvůrčí osvojování si látky prezenční formou s podporou internetu

- prostřednictvím Průvodce studiem,
- se soustavným využíváním studijních opor přístupných přes webové
rozhraní v LCMS Moodle.
Metody práce uplatňované v kurzu se co nejvíce přibližují současnému pojetí
vzdělávání se, kde se stírá výlučná role pedagoga a posiluje se význam
vzájemného DIALOGU. Studenti mají velký vliv na konečnou podobu kurzu, neboť
ta spočívá zejména ve kvalitě dialogu, jež je v kurzu veden všemi jeho
účastníky.
Důraz je kladen na KOLABORATIVNÍ formy práce s vyústěním v týmové semestrální
práci.
Online kurz studijního poředmětu je URČEN
- tzv. „knowledge workers“, „dělníkům znalostí“, ať jsou jimi vědci,
výzkumníci, studenti nebo kdokoliv další, kdo má zájem zapojit se do komunity
informační společnosti pod diktátem chaosu webu,
- všem, kteří se chtějí seznámit s komunikačními nástroji webu, chtějí
se zdokonalit v jejich využívání nebo jen chtějí konfrontovat, jak totéž
dělají jiní a inspirovat se pro další zefektivnění své práce.
