Όλες οι διαλέξεις, το διδακτικό υλικό και οι δραστηριότητες 'ανεβαίνουν' στην ηλεκτρονική πλατφόρμα (elearning) του πανεπιστημίου. Επίσης, η επικοινωνία με τους φοιτητές πραγματοποιείται είτε μέσω της πλατφόρμας είτε με την ηλεκτρονική αλληλογραφία.

Η συμπερασματική αξιολόγηση του μαθήματος βασίζεται στη συγγραφή εκτεταμένης εργασίας η οποία θα αποτελείται από μία επισκόπηση της σχετικής βιβλιογραφίας και από ένα πορτφόλιο με υλικό που θα σχεδιαστεί ειδικά για τους μαθητές με δυσλεξία. Το υλικό αυτό θα βασίζεται σε ένα συγκεκριμένο γλωσσικό κομμάτι (γραμματική ή λεξιλόγιο) ή σε μία συγκεκριμένη γλωσσική δεξιότητα (αναγνωστική, ακουστική, προφορική, γραπτή). Η εργασία θα παρουσιαστεί αρχικά με τη χρήση ppt και στη συνέχεια θα υποβληθεί γραπτά μαζί με το πορτφόλιο του σχετικού υλικού.
