  • 1 period per week in the Multimedia Centre (more information>)
  • Personal work (standardized and personal tasks)

 Pedagogical support includes:

  • The sessions (personal or in small groups), which serve to set up a study plan in accordance with your personal objectives and to provide both an intermediate and final assessment of your progress
  • Access to teacher input during the registered session in the Multimedia Centre
  • Online back-up via the PlurieL platform and/or email contact with your tutor

  Important

  • Although some of the tasks can be completed at home, those requiring access to multimedia material have to be done in the Multimedia Centre. (Anthropole 1060) – for copyright reasons
  • Learning through guided autonomy is an individual process. The role of your tutor is to guide you when planning and managing your study within the structure of the module.
