Study methodology
Resorting to the new communication technologies and the opportunities offered by the Internet, the Master's degree in Social Economy (MES) is based on a mixed "b-learning", methodology, which makes use of all the multimedia teaching resources, on its own virtual campus, providing individualised education.

The learning instruments are:

1.- Didactic units

The members of the teaching body, tele-professor experts, help students study and permanently monitor their education, using basic texts, which the theoretical learning is based upon. These are digitalised and computer-processed texts with multimedia didactic materials: hyperlinks, conferences and videos. The members of the staff have a board where news related to the knowledge of each module is posted.

2.- Multimedia teaching resources

The knowledge acquired by reaching the didactic units is complemented with: videos made of experts, press articles, chapters from books, especially selected by the professors, available either in the virtual campus teaching resources or with links to Internet. The agenda and study criteria permanently help the student.

3.- Knowledge application activities

Tutorised and group assessment; After each topic of each module, students check their progress and receive comments from the professor.

4.- Shared work environments

Debate of practical cases in the chats/debates where students set out and comment on the results of their group assessments with the professor.

5.- Tutorial

Every student has a tutor who makes sure that the student takes advantage of the master's degree and who the student can contact at any time. The student communicates with the tutor or with any other student by e-mail, using the campus computer service.

6.- Final project

At the end of the master's degree the student can present a final project, which they must defend orally before an examining board.

7.- Attendance sessions

These are programmed throughout the Master's degree, and they coincide with relevant working days on social economy.

8.- Assessment

This is continuous throughout the master's degree; the assessments, discussion of practical cases, participation in forums and in chats, as well as attendance attendances are all appraised. The final project must also be presented orally.
