Educational Material Types
  • Slide presentations
  • Video lectures
Use of Information and Communication Technologies
Use of ICT
  • Use of ICT in Course Teaching
  • Use of ICT in Communication with Students
  • Use of ICT in Student Assessment
Description
Communication with students is usually asynchronous via e-mail or synchronous via mobile phone if there is such a need. The educational process is implemented either by in-person, or synchronous (via teleconference) and asynchronous distance education or a mixed system. The evaluation of students can be done with written or oral exams that can be conducted either live or by distance methods. In any case, for the teaching and evaluation of the students, the online distance learning platform of the AUTh (https://elearning.auth.gr) is used, where digitized teaching material for the students is posted (presentations, video of the lectures, questionnaires, quizzes, sources, bibliography, etc.).
