Master studija o Evropskoj uniji: Kulture i Istorija, Politike i Globalne Perspektive

Aims

The distance master's degree in "European Law and Policies," implemented by the Law Faculty, is to train an interdisciplinary professional profile of an expert in European law and policies and make him acquire operational and professional skills suitable for participating in the various stages of European policy planning and implementation. The transfer of the cognitive tools needed for this aim will be carried out with an interdisciplinary approach.

The teaching interdisciplinary approach responds to the will to provide students with skills suitable for the transnational dimension of the issues.

Teaching model

The training activities take place on the Internet, in the “Master” section of the portal: uninettunouniversity.net.

The psycho-pedagogic model adopted or the Master’s Course in European Union Studies concretizes the shift:

• From the teacher’s central role to the student’s central role;
• From knowledge transfer to knowledge creation;
• From passive and competitive learning to active and collaborative learning.

The students play an active role in their learning progress and can study whenever and wherever they wish to. In the course of their learning path, the students are guided by an online tutoring system which is able to facilitate their learning and web-based communication process and to supply them with the tools to carry out their study of a specific subject successfully.

Online tutoring is organized into classes of students, through an advanced system of agenda that is able to recognize each individual and obtain the tracking of training activities and a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the learning process of each single student.

How to study

Enrolled students must follow all activities included in the Didactic Cyberspace.

Didactic Cyberspace

The Internet-based training activities take place in a web-based macro-area, which is called the Didactic Cyberspace. In the Didactic Cyberspace, the training and learning process takes place, and accesses are diversified through customized login and password depending on the role played by the different actors of the training process: Professors, Tutors, and Students. These three categories of users can access the same information regarding each module. More specifically, the Professor and Tutor can modify or replace training materials and add new ones for the whole course duration, whereas the student can dispose of an area of his own where he can include data, information, and personal notes.

The student can access to:

• The Appointed Teaching Professor’s Page;
• The Tutor’s Page.

On these pages, there are the Learning Environments where is possible to access:

• Training Materials , which represent the course contents: digitized video lessons including bookmarks allowing for hypertextual and multimedia linking to books, selected bibliographical references, texts of the exercises, and selected webographies. The system of dynamic bookmarks gives Internet-based video lessons a hypertextual character allowing different levels of navigation: from one lesson to the other one, among subjects of a single lesson, between the materials referring to the same subject.
• Distance Tutoring . The students enrolled in the Master’s course will be assisted in every step of their study path by Telematic Professors-Tutors. The Telematic Professor-Tutor represents a guide as well as a constant presence along the Learning Process. The distance Tutoring activities may be carried out in two ways:
  • in a synchronic manner, by using chats, video-chats, video, and audio-conferencing, implemented in the Didactic Cyberspace, but also the three-dimensional classroom created on the UNINETTUNO Island of Knowledge on Second Life.
  • in a diachronic manner, through tools such as e-mail and discussion forums on the Internet. The discussion forums, related to the topics of a given teaching subject, enable to enlarging of dialogue trigger collaborative learning, and give the opportunity for autonomous thinking on the issue being discussed and on the study activities carried on.
• Virtual Classroom in UNINETTUNO Island of Knowledge on Second Life On UNINETTUNO (International Telematic University) the Island of Knowledge a 3D lecture hall was realized and it is devoted to this master’s courses. In this environment, the students and professors/tutors’ avatars interact in the three-dimensional world of UNINETTUNO by their voices. Practice work, assessment tests, and videoconferences with the protagonists of the Master’s Course, who will be attending through their avatars, are carried out, as well as real-time practice activities guided by the professors/tutors’ avatars.

In the virtual classroom of Second Life in the UNINETTUNO Island of Knowledge, the students and the professors/tutors teach and learn in a collaborative and cooperative way. They build and share knowledge with people belonging to different political, cultural, and religious settings, they dialogue, cultural differences are confronted, and socialization processes are implemented as well as the creation of new knowledge.
