GRANDI SCUOLE HELPS THEM TO RECOVER LOST YEARS AND GIVES THEM SUPPORT WHILE ATTENDING LESSONS (78% OF OUR STUDENTS ARE OVER 18 YEARS). MANY STUDENTS HAVE DIFFICULTY FINISHING UNIVERSITY AS THE COURSES ARE TOO CROWDED AND THE SYSTEM REQUIRES STUDENTS TO DO MUCH OF THE WORK THEMSELVES. CEPU IS THE ONLY QUALIFIED STRUCTURE OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSITY ABLE TO ASSIST THEM. AFTER THE PREPARATION OUR STUDENTS SIT THE RELEVANT EXAMS AT A SCHOOL OR UNIVERSITY OF THEIR CHOICE.

18. TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS STARTING FROM CONTENT/SUBJECT MATTER AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET, OUR INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNERS WORK-OUT AND DEVELOP TUTOR’S AND STUDENT’S GUIDES AS A GENERAL REFERENCE TO BE LOCALIZED DURING THE TEACHING PROCESS, ACCORDING TO SPECIFIC STUDY PATHWAYS DEPENDING ON TEACHER’S ORIENTATION. OBJECTIVE TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH ANALYTICAL AND EVALUATIVE SKILLS. TO DEVELOP STUDENTS INTELLECTUAL AND IMAGINATIVE POWERS, THEIR UNDERSTANDING AND JUDGEMENT, THEIR PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS, THEIR ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE, THEIR ABILITY TO SEE RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED AND TO PERCEIVE THEIR STUDY IN A BROADER PERSPECTIVE.

19. TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS INSTRUMENTS AND METHODS Lectures Lectures are a major part of the teaching strategy for CEPU. Lectures are an effective way of delivering core material and establishing a framework for a module against which other material can be set. Tutorials Tutorials are meetings of a student or group of students (CEPU or Grandi Scuole) with a lecturer or lecturers and are used to expand upon material covered in lectures through an enquiry-driven problem solving approachin order to overcome any deficiencies in a student’s background knowledge. Seminars Seminars involve a student or students presenting previously prepared work. This strategy is used to extend specific theoretical or practical concepts as well as introducing problem solving exercises. Seminars are used in most modules and provide students with valuable experience in presentational skills as well as providing staff with a method or assessing student-centred learning.

20. TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS INSTRUMENTS AND METHODS Practical Workshops Practical workshops are used extensively in modules such as Information Technology and Finance and Accounting. In this method students are able to practice and refine their skills in a supportive environment where they can get feedback from a member of academic staff. Practical workshops represent a valuable transition between theory and the workplace. Case Studies Case studies are a teaching and learning strategy, which are employed in a range of modules; they also are a useful assessment tool. Students are asked to develop real or simulated complex problems which they are required to analyse in detail and then synthetise/present their own solution in writing or orally.

21. TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS Learning Strategies Students are expected to take greater responsibility for their own learning as they progress through their programes. The course structure and the proposed teaching strategies are designed to encourage this development. The student-centred approach will be encouraged through the use of specific teaching strategies; case studies; projects; practical exercises, supplemented by the use of appropriate support materials; videos; computer software; etc. Active engagement with the subject material enhances learning and many of the learning strategies used attempt to promote this. Assessment Written examinations (seen/unseen, open book, essays/short answers), essays, practical assessment, presentations and dissertations/project reports.

22. TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS Distance Learning Distance Learning is an instrument utilized in a blended approach both for Scuola Radio Elettra (Vocational Training) and for E-Campus University. The distance learning platform with forum, chat, registred lessons, etc provides for study organization, scheduling, teaching-learning outcomes and ongoing appraisals.

25. ONLINE UNIVERSITIES IN THE WORLD • ONLINE UNIVERSITIES (STARTED ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO) HAVE HAD A HUGE DEVELOPMENT. TODAY, IN SOME COUNTRIES, THEY REACH 20% OF TOTAL UNIVERSITIES ENROLLMENT • IN ITALY THE FIGURE IS STILL LESS THAN 1%. IT IS REASONABLE TO EXPECT A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE OF ONLINE PROGRAMS, ALSO FOR THE REASON THAT THIS NEW WAY OF LEARNING MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO STUDY WHILE WORKING • ONLINE UNIVERSITIES HAVE BASED THEIR SUCCESS WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ORGANIZE BRANCHES IN THE TERRITORY PROVIDING DIRECT ASSISTANCE TO STUDENTS (BLENDED LEARNING SYSTEM)

27. AN EXAMPLE OF BLENDED METHODOLOGY The Group has converted the former IBM training Center for Europe in Novedrate, between Milan and Como, into the University Campus for E-CAMPUS University and into an International Education Center. In Novedrate students sit their exams, in person, at various times during the process of distance learning. Students are supported during the year at over 120 CEPU branches situated all over Italy. The assistance is on an individual bases. Communication is based on the formula: E-CAMPUS + CEPU.
