    The Flexon Learning Methodology

    The Master follows the highest standards of teaching methodology set by the EFMD. The course uses a variety of teaching methods, including interactive lectures, case study analyses, tutorials, discussions, group work, video lectures, business analysis and student presentations. Students are encouraged to actively participate through reading, discussions and debates.

    The teaching approach is based on active learning, with an emphasis on student involvement and practical application of the knowledge acquired. Teachers adopt a student-centred approach, providing activities that allow students to put what they have learnt into practice. The online methodology involves real-time interactive lessons, led and guided by the lecturers. The programmes are self-directed, which means that students can follow the pre-master courses at their own pace and use self-assessment exercises to check their understanding. This practical and applicable methodology includes both synchronous and asynchronous activities.

    Students are free to learn at their own pace and define personal learning paths based on their individual needs and interests, as well as the content provided, taking into account the deadlines for learning, evaluation and assessments. The self-paced methodology is applied on the pre-master courses, which are based on pre-recorded interactive sessions led by the lecturer professor, with a PPT presentation, exercises and self-assessment for each course. Students study the material at their own pace and do a self-assessment exercise to track their progress.

    The online learning methodology is fully professor-led and facilitated live in real time. Every lecture is created and delivered by a lecturer using our online platform Blackboard. The communication tools used by the lecturers include discussion forums, chats, emails, breakout sessions, whiteboards, and audio and video sharing to communicate and work together. As a final step, sessions usually include an exercise or assessment to measure the learning.

    The online methodology in every class is live and interactive. Teaching methods and techniques are used creatively to develop an engaging and motivating learning experience. There is frequent interaction with the student interaction to foster and maintain engagement and promote learning.

    The online learning methodology is practical, with all the class activities and online learning methods, e-content and materials used also being put into practice in the different assessments (self-assessments, tests and practical assignments), capstone project and class activities.

    The online methodology is structured as a combination of synchronous or real-time activities (such as online platform chats, breakout rooms/sessions, virtual pooling, virtual whiteboard, etc.) and asynchronous or on-demand activities, which students can do whenever suits them best in terms of their preferences and other commitments (such as emails, discussion forum platforms, online platform meetings, recorded lectures via links, virtual coffee and conversation sessions, etc.).
