Course contents

The course faces teaching and learning contents in the perspective of lifelong and lifewide learning. In this process, which involves individuals trough the course of their lives, it is necessary to activate appropriate strategies and tools to the goals toward which they are oriented, and the creation of conditions for the development of the real possibilities of learning as active subjects in the full exercise of responsibilities and potentialities.

The analysis of teaching and communication strategies for adults lies in a complex scenario, characterized by an increasing discontinuity in the paths of life; from the challenges of the knowledge society and the rapid dissemination of digital tools and connective and interactive forms of communication. The educational process can be considered, in fact, real "communication events" that need a new and specific communication and interpersonal skills.

In the perspective of adults education, we will analyze the characteristics of the educational  formal, non-formal and informal processes, highlighting the goals due to the possibility:

- to faces the challenges of change,  mainly in economic and working contexts;
- to exercise a right of citizenship in the political, cultural and social contexts;
- to give meaning to the learning process, as innovative and creative process.

Module 2 (Prof. Elena Pacetti)

The educational challenge represented by the new tools for production and dissemination of culture will be analyzed, faced with the diffusion of new information and communication Technologies.

In particular, the course will deepen:

- the characteristics of formal, non-formal and informal formation in virtual environments;
- teaching and learning strategies;

Students will be involved through discussions, case studies (also presented as privileged witnesses and experts), cooperative group-works.

Assessment methods

The exam will consist of an oral and individual examination (with a vote expressed in thirtieths).
