Use of ALIEN services and tools

During the course, students are exposed to active and problem-based learning in the contexts of a team project. Teams get familiar with the resources provided by the teacher related to the problem. Each team selects a problem and discusses potential solutions in the form of a media campaign. Then the teams chose the most appropriate tool and use it to solve the problem. Finally, the teams analyse their results and present it.
