Assessment of the module
The assessment of the module will be carried out through the following activities:
- Ex. 1: Design of a digital escape room focused on Media and Information Literacy (MIL), applying tools covered in class. Delivery: November 19
- Ex. 2: Design of a digital collection. Delivery: December 10
- Ex. 3: Design and creation of a school library website, accompanied by a brief explanatory report on the exercise. Delivery: December 21
- Ex. 4: Video presentation of Exercise 3. Delivery: December 21
The final grade will be the weighted average of the scheduled activities. To apply this criterion, a minimum score of 3.5 must be obtained in all activities carried out during the module. Class attendance is mandatory. To receive a positive final evaluation, students must attend at least 80% of the sessions. eassessed exercises must be submitted within a maximum of 14 days after the feedback on the original exercises has been provided. The instructor will return the assessment activities within a period not exceeding 20 working days according to the academic calendar.
The review of assessments will be conducted individually.
To qualify for continuous assessment, students must submit and meet all the stated requirements. Otherwise, they will be marked as Not Presented. No specific assessment conditions are foreseen for individual cases. If any arise, they will be considered by the coordination committee.
Single Assessment
If opting for the single assessment, the same evaluation and resit system as the continuous assessment will apply. However, all written submissions must be delivered on a single day (December 21). None of these submissions will receive formative feedback.
- Ex. 1: Design of a digital escape room focused on Media and Information Literacy (MIL), applying tools covered in class.
- Ex. 2: Design of a digital collection.
- Ex. 3: Design and creation of a school library website, accompanied by a brief explanatory report on the exercise.
- Ex. 4: Video presentation of Exercise 3.
If the student fails the course, they are entitled to a resit of the exercises, provided their grade is above 3.5. eassessed exercises must be submitted within a maximum of 14 days after the feedback on the original exercises has been provided. The instructor will return the assessment activities within a period not exceeding 20 working days according to the academic calendar.
Academic Integrity
Copying or plagiarism in any type of assessment activity is considered a serious offense and will be penalized with a grade of 0 for the entire course, with no possibility of resit, whether the work is individual or group-based (in which case, all group members will receive a 0). If, during an individual in-class activity, the instructor suspects or discovers that a student is attempting to cheat or is using unauthorized materials or devices, the activity will be graded with a 0, with no resit option, resulting in a failed course.
A task, activity, or exam is considered copied when it reproduces all or a significant part of another student’s work. It is considered plagiarized when a part of a text from another author is presented as one’s own without citing the source, regardless of whether the original source is in print or digital format.
Use of Technology and AI
Recording sessions with any electronic device is not allowed.
For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for specific activities indicated by the teaching staff. Students must clearly identify which parts were generated using this technology, specify the tools employed, and include an appendix to the assignment containing the prompt given to the AI, the source text, and the resulting document. Failure to be transparent about the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and will result in the same penalties as copying or plagiarism.
