Final assessment is a cumulative assessment consisting of: 1) individual work (20%) 2) group work (30%) 3) Final Paper (50%) Final Paper assessment (50%). Students work in small groups (2 participants), each group develops one fully digitally feasible examination period and records it in video format. Examination period is based on a clearly defined purpose. Examination period in the delivery of integrated digital technology assistance (at least 2 digital solutions for the potential and success of the target). A mandatory requirement is the provision of assessment/feedback of the study course at the end of the study course on the e-learning platform. The provisions regarding the use of AI within the framework of the study, as well as the guidelines in the study process have been observed: https://www.rsu.lv/maksligais-intelekts-augstakaja-izglitiba |
