Methodology
Duration: 1,5 hours.
Methodology for the in-person format
The proposal would be to start the course with a general introductory video to raise awareness of the situation of refugees and asylum. Subsequently, the theoretical contents would be presented in slide format to facilitate the speaker's presentation.
After this presentation, which could last about an hour, we propose the use of a microlearning methodology in small groups of students, based on suggesting that they go deeper into a specific topic of the contents of the introduction. It may seem unnecessary, but it is a way of capturing attention.
An example of this minimal extension of content that may be interesting is to offer a link that leads to a deeper exploration of the topic of foreign lands.
It is proposed to talk about the mineral wealth of these lands and the geopolitical interests that may be associated, as a way to understand other determinants of war and not just the apparent ones.
This would be with a content of about 20 minutes and, finally, there could be an evaluation exercise of the introductory module with 10 multiple-choice questions with three alternative answers that the speaker will provide either on paper or by sending a link to the evaluation (to facilitate data collection).
Methodological online format:
The proposal would be to start the course with a general introductory video to raise awareness of the refugee and asylum situation. Subsequently, the theoretical contents would be presented online with a voice-over narrating them in parallel to the possible reading by the students.
Obviously, the presentation of the text has to be with a slow scroll that does not produce a sense of urgency in the reader and that facilitates that there is not too much text on the screen.
