OVERVIEW

The course of biomechanics is conceived as "blended" course. The first lesson, done by the teacher in a frontal way, as first didactical action, aims to the explanation of the login action and the structure of the examination. The examination is an oral performance based on a question - answer mode.

After the last module completed, the self evaluation test is visible. A survey about the quality of the course is the last one action done by the student

AIMS AND CONTENT

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The online course is completed with a view of all the video sessions and the passing of the self-evaluation test, the score of which is indicative of a level of learning that the teacher will test through the exam in attendance.

After you have passed all online self-assessment tests you will receive a badge. You can see the list of badges by clicking on your name in the top right and then on the Dashboard. Badge release is not immediate as it happens through a timed procedure.

TEACHING METHODS

To make the first video clip accessible, just accept the Covenant.
To access later content, it is mandatory to view the video lessons.

The online course is completed with a view of all the video sessions and the passing of the self-evaluation test, the score of which is indicative of a level of learning that the teacher will test through the exam in attendance.

Once the badge is obtained, the student will be able to take part in the exam in attendance for the final evaluation of the acquisition of the CFUs.

The exam will take place within the appendices of the Integrated Course of Kinesiology, Biomechanics and General Rehabilitation.

The student enrolled in the course is allowed to consult the teaching material freely, to make a copy in digital format (c.d. download) and to print the slide on paper for strictly and exclusively personal study purposes, expressly prohibiting any direct or indirect commercial use.

LESSONS

LESSONS START

FIRST SEMESTER

The biomechanics course is delivered in blended mode: the lesson in attendance, delivered as the first didactic activity, aims to show how to access the course and to anticipate how the exam will take place.

The online part consists of four modules, consisting of teaching units containing video lessons. Immediately after the last module there is a final self-assessment and a survey.
