Description of contents: programme

ICT applications in specific markets and sectors, considering non-exclusively the following sectors: - Health - Application of data comunicaciones. Use, impact, integrity and consequences - Audio and virtual reality - Space-based positioning Although attention will be paid to sustainable development goals in all areas, the first block will focus on those related to equality and accessibility.

Learning activities and methodology

Learning activities include: - Theoretical class, small group discussions and group tutoring, student presentations, individual tutoring and individual student's work, that includes study, tests and exams oriented toward the adquisition of theoretical knoledge.

Assessment System

% end-of-term-examination 60
% of continuous assessment (assigments, laboratory, practicals...) 40

Calendar of Continuous assessment

The assessment will evaluate the degree of fulfilment of the learning objectives from student's work, both individual and collectively. The continuous assessment of student¿s activities will be carried out from test and exams, practical exercises and other academic activities. The evaluation matrix of these works will take into account how the sustainable development goals have been considered.

The final grade will consider both the group and individual activities. The final exam will determine 60% of the total course grade, the rest being determined by the continuous assessment.
