Material

Q2a- The teacher imparts the theory class on the blackboard without any
additional material
Q2b -The teacher imparts the theory class based on a presentation and
at the end of the sessions upload them
Q2c - The teacher imparts the theory class based on a presentation that
students have been able to consult previously
Q2d - At the end of each session, the teacher provides the study
materials for the following. During the following session they will discuss
and debate about the subject.
Q2e - Following a schedule, students have some study materials and self-
assessment tools to know their progress

Instructors

Although instructors and students do not agree in some
points, it is important to notice that in general the teaching
methodology, in the sense of material for the lectures, is not
a disrupting issue.
The way of teaching and learning at university level is
changing, but in a real slow speed

Activities

Students clearly prefer face to face activities. Surprisingly, students still have more
preference more “classic”, based on face to face activities.

What is teaching/learning
virtualization?

StudentsInstructors

We expected more break-up responses, is not a disrupting issue.
University environment is relatively slow in responding to the innovation.
Students group continues to think that classical teaching, more or less
masterful, combined with activities prior to or after class activity, is the
preferred one.
The university continues to be anchored in this paradigm: a given space,
an assigned time interval, a responsible teacher.
So, we can conclude:

Changing day by day
- Change the obligation of physical presence due to the
'obligation to follow the training activities – Changing the
concept of “I have class …”
- Consider teaching activity and teaching as a
communicative activity, and therefore having the
appropriate interpersonal communication skills
- Break the current structure of the web of the
universities, oriented to face-to-face students, and create
a new one for students, teachers and virtual visitors.

A step ahead: Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education
Will AI replace university lecturers?
learning or consuming contents?
Mark Haw, in The Guardian website, https://www.theguardian.com/education/2019/sep/06/will-ai-
replace-university-lecturers-not-if-we-make-it-clear-why-humans-matter,

A step ahead: Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education
Will A.I. be a threat to university instructors?
Interpersonal communication will always be of utmost
value?

- AI in HE can be perfect as the challenges of each student
are more clearly identified and thus optimal procedures
may be suggested and implemented
- Create student-bots for teacher training, and teacher-bots
for student training.
- Keep a comprehensive record of all the university activities
that allow real and virtual entities (ie, the robots) to have
the information necessary for decision making.

Founded by the Romans, it has medieval walls, Romanesque and Gothic
monuments, beautiful examples of Baroque style and one of the best preserved
Jewish quarters in Europe.
