  • Project-Based Learning (PBL) in Animation: Students work on projects where they come into contact with the methodology and processes of pre-production, production and post-production in multimedia animation. They develop complete narratives and animations: from creative conceptualization to dissemination through different time-based media channels. The practical challenges explore the abilities to put into practice the fundamentals and skills acquired, both in individual experiences and in the context of teamwork. In this way, preparing them for a labor market reality. Real-time Interactive Tutorials, Online teaching platforms can offer innovative tutorials, content, and production methods. Online Communities of Animators and motion design boost self-learning skills, connection to a collective learning community and constant contact networks with the reality of the multimedia animation production market.

  • The Critical Thinking curricular unit uses innovative methodologies that promote active and collaborative learning. Problem-based learning (PBL) puts students at the center of the process, challenging them to solve practical cases with critical thinking. Case studies and simulations allow students to apply theory to real-world scenarios, while digital tools facilitate collaboration and instant feedback. Gamification makes the process engaging, with games that encourage critical analysis. Continuous assessment is based on reflections, encouraging self-criticism and the continuous development of critical thinking skills.
  • Mandatory
  • This subject aims to promote, among students, the acquisition of fundamental concepts relating to critical thinking (truth, validity, knowledge, reason, argument), and the ability to analyze, evaluate and reconstruct arguments, recognizing the underlying structures of thought and identifying the possible fallacies.
