Learning activities and methodology
1) Lectures: 1 ECTS, to get the specific cognitive competences of the subject (PO a, b, c) 2) Practices: 1 ECTS, to get the specific instrumental and generic competences, as well as the attitude competences of the subject, such as team work, ability to put in practice the acquired knowledge, ability to plan, analyse and synthetize. Practices also are intended to develop the attitude competencies. The practice consists on a practical example of a real problem of knowledge management (PO a, b, c, d, e, k, g) (CG5, CESI1, CESI6) 3) Academic Work a. With professor assistance: 1,5 ECTS. This work consists on conducting a project where students have to develop a knowledge management solution for a fictional institution by focusing on a specific aspect of the course. (PO a, b, c, d, e, k, g) (CG5, CESI1, CESI6) b. Academic Work without professor assistance: 2 ECTS. Exercises and complementary readings. (PO a, b, c, d, e, k, g) (CG5, CESI1, CESI6) 4) Exam: 0,5 ECTS. The exam is intended to compliment the development of the instrumental and cognitive competencies. (PO a, c, i, h) (CG5, CESI1, CESI6)
