How does
it work?
The ALSUM virtual course platform is anchored in Moodle, whose programming language is ideal for virtual training and is used by thousands of academic centers and universities around the world.
There, the student will find the academic material for the chosen course, developed by experts from the London market and adapted to the Latin American reality.
Methodology
To reinforce knowledge, the student is given a series of individual activities or tasks through which they can deepen their understanding of the topics, with both a local and a regional focus.
Finally, we have collected a series of documents and additional material that will help the student further solidify their knowledge and gain different types of experience regarding the topic covered.
Certification
“Naturally, the ALSUM E-Learning courses are focused on accreditation, which is why the constant evaluation of knowledge is necessary, both at the level of individual topics (modules) and their grouping (cycles).
La aprobación de los ciclos no obligatoria para recibir la acreditación final permite obtener acreditaciones parciales, con las que se reconoce el esfuerzo y el conocimiento del estudiante sobre la materia.
The certificate of completion for each course is obtained by passing a final exam, with all questions drawn exclusively from the course’s academic material.
