Reprogramando la Universidad Sénior para un modelo de enseñanza-aprendizaje semipresencial - [Rescheduling the Senior University for a blended teaching-learning model]

Abstract

This work describes the adaptation process of the Senior University (University of A Coruña) to a blended teaching-learning model, in the academic year 2020/2021, motivated by the health emergency situation due to COVID. On the one hand, the needs of our teaching staff and, on the other hand, the training needs of our students, who had to break the technological barrier and to incorporate new technologies in order to attend classes, were taking into account in the scheduling process. The work includes the results of surveys to teachers and students at the beginning, a description of the new specific training program “Present, Science, Health and Life”, and finally, an analysis of satisfaction with the new program from the point of view of all the agents involved: teachers, students and management team of the Senior University. Both teachers and students are, in general, very satisfied with the blended model that will remain in the following courses as a training complement to face-to-face teaching.
