To achieve the goals of UC, students will be involved in resolving short-term tasks (1-2 classes). These tasks are related to small written works on Web 2.0 tools. These documents prepared by students constitute the documentary base to serve as an example the creation of a digital portfolio. Students are, throughout the process, followed by tutoring sessions and supported by the use of an online platform where different materials are available for support.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

The evaluation of the work done at UC will be performed by student participation in class, in the resolution of the proposed practical activities and their involvement in the design, development and presentation of a small project work.
The final grade will take into account the following weights:
- Class participation and resolution of practical activities - 25%
- Project work: Design and development - 50%
Presentation and discussion - 25%
