  • quizzes,  

  • short writings, 

  • participation in the moderated group forum, 

  • As well as some group work, in small groups of 3 to 5 participants

 The final week will be dedicated to the case study, to be done in groups and which will involve at least 1 interview with actors involved with GIs in Europe.  The case study may necessitate a little more than 6 hours work.
