• A high degree of true interaction between peers, tutors and lecturers
• A well-balanced mix of on-line and off-line activities

These are the key points of the eMIRM learning process: a Blended eLearning experience, where on-line activities are intertwined with residential modules and other off-line activities. 

Distance learning activities are conducted in two major ways: 

• Asynchronously, mainly web-based training (WBT) techniques that allow on-line self-training using Learning Objects
• Synchronously, Virtual classroom tools used to simulate the real classroom experience through web technology: live virtual meetings held on-line with the use of audio and visual equipment, and led by a teacher/facilitator with several core teams participating at the same time.

eMIRM is supported by a state-of-the-art eLearning Platform which is fully customized to the program needs. 
The Master’s program is also reinforced by a series of residential modules.

ON-LINE ACTIVITIES:

Synchronous 

> Virtual classrooms: several one hour synchronous sessions of live on-line training with the course teacher, to focus on key subject, prepare for the self on-line training, interct with teacher.
> On-line tutoring: synchronous sessions with tutors at fixed times, as support to learning during self study phase and supplementary e-tivities
> Group work using the e-Learning platform to access the Learning Objects

Asynchronous

> Web-based self-training: individual training using web techolnologIES; teacher and tutor can be contacted on demand 
 

OFF-LINE ACTIVITIES:

Synchronous 

> Residential modules: full immersion residential plenary sessions: kick off (introduction, set learnong objectives, lectures, build the groups) and wrap up (draw conclusions, share knowledge, final evaluations)
> Group project works

Asynchronous 

> Individual project work 
> Individual study
