- through group platforms for communication between students (social networks, internet, apps, moodle, etc.)
The student's independent work within the contactless learning consists of:

- systematic and practical verification of the topics covered in their teaching practice and subsequent consultation with the teacher of the subject on the basis of the video recording of the teaching
- completing 2 observations with recommended teachers and creating a structured record
- searching for and collecting professional information related to the topics discussed in the first semester, sharing this knowledge and confronting it with the teacher and with other students in the contact teaching
