General Description:
Objective(s) of a study programme:
To prepare highly qualified specialists of andragogy and applied informactics, who are able to apply and manage information communication technologies in different levels of education, to plan and create curriculum of technology enhanced lerning, to organize learning for different target groups of life long learning, to develop and manage computer systems at various companies and organizations.
The programme “Education and Information Technologies“ is a double degree programme with a major in Andragogy and minor in Applied Informatics.

Activities of teaching and learning:
All study subject are delivered online with initial leactures and final examinations and consultations, implemented in the classroom. During the semester the online contact hours for lectures and consultations are realized in videoconferences, while asynchronous consultations are implemented in virtual learning environment.
Learning and teaching organization methods depend on the most appropriate learning and teaching methods, selected by teachers of the study subject., and which corresponds with the learning outcomes of each subject. However the transfer of infomation, dicussions and individual or group activities, as well as other active learning methods are used in all study subjects. Apart the above mentioned learning and teaching methods the following are used most often: presentations of individual or groupwork, drilling, exploration and experimentation, search of technological solutions, analysis and argumentation, problem areas, best practice and case analysis, reflections, planning and organization of teachnology enhanced learning.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Study achievement assessment system is determined by VMU Study Regulations. Accumulative study achievement assessment system is applied at University. The weight of separate constituents of intermediary work assessment in the final mark for the course is determined by the course teacher, taking into account the mandatory proportions. The teacher introduces the evaluation system to the students during the first lectures of the semester. The composition of accumulative mark of a separate subject is described in the description of every study subject. Generating the accumulative point system, the following principle is followed: mark constituents should reveal all skills acquired in the course process; this system allows carrying out consistent assessment of students’ progress and acquired skills throughout the whole semester..
For the assessment of student learning achievements formative assessment is also used, when teachers provide consultations for students via videoconferences; give individual or group feedback via virtual learning environment, organize synchronous or asynchronous discussions about performed projects, etc.
Framework:
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
Programme design complements to 240 credits, which may be divided as follow:
• 15 ECTS are alocated for general study subjects (group A subjects);
• 165 ECTS of the programme are alocated to meet the learning outcomes of the major study field of Adult Education Studies, including 90 ECTS as compulsory (C1 group subjects) and 42 as optional study subjects (B, C and D group subjects), 18 ECTS for practice and 15 ECTS for integrated bachelor theses;
• 60 ECTS are allocated for the studies of Group C subjects in the minor field of Applied Informatics (C2 group subjects)
As students acquire doungle degree in Adult Education Studies and Applied Informatics some of the subjects are integrated, such as Technological- andragogical practices and integrated bachelor theses.
During the first four semesters student study general study subjects (A group) and initial subjects of major and minor study programme (B and C group subjects. Later semesters cover more indepth subjects of major and minor study programme, practices and reasearch.
Specialisations:
-
Optional courses:
- During the first two years student can chose optional courses from B, C and D group study subjects, as well as English language subjects, which are necessary to enquire B2 level competences by the end of 4th semester (up to 42 ECTS).
- During the 3rd and 4th year students can participate in virtual exhance and study some subjects in English virtually at foreign universities.
Distinctive features of a study programme:
Distance learning programme of double degree bachelor of Adult Education Studies and Applied Informatics
