2. didactic and technical monitoring (in terms of quantity and quality of interactions, compliance with didactic deadlines, delivery of the required documents, etc.).

3. ongoing training tests, also for self-assessment (eg, multiple choice tests, true / false tests, sequence of questions with different difficulties, simulations, concept maps, papers, group projects, etc.);
