A new methodology is born: Learning by challenge. Challenge-based projects give students the opportunity to apply what they are learning in real time.
- Methodology in the classroom: Active Learner. Instead of listening to a lecture for an hour and a half, students move around the class, debating, helping their classmates, and, above all, applying the course content to their projects.
- Focus on the latest technologies: Following the example of Singularity University, we believe that the most powerful way to solve the world’s greatest challenges is the application of exponential technologies. In La Salle Campus Barcelona, we work in multi-disciplinary teams, side by side with companies, to solve challenges.
We want to teach a global thinking vision about business and the ability to work around the globe.
The Degree in Digital Business Design and Innovation has several international elements:
- Professors from many nationalities and with experience working abroad.
- Visits to other countries during the degree to experience how you work in other areas and cultures, in Europe, the USA and Asia.
- Possibility of doing a semester abroad in another University.
At La Salle Campus Barcelona, the entrepreneurial ecosystem revolves around Technova, one of the top startup accelerators in Spain. Students can benefit from studying at a University which has a Technology and Innovation Park on Campus, where they can undertake internships or participate in projects such as Technova Young.
SMART LEARNING
A NEW EDUCATIONAL MODEL FOR A NEW NORMAL
This new normal requires a new way of teaching and learning, adapted to a changing and uncertain situation that demands flexible, intelligent and technological learning that adapts to all the students’ new educational needs.
La Salle Campus Barcelona - Ramon Llull University endorses the new Smart Learning model and takes another step in its innovative DNA, affecting all areas of the educational process: the service to the students, international exchanges, remote internships, the telework model applied to internships with companies, the job bank and research projects.
What is the new Smart Learning model?
State-of-the-art technology has been implemented in the classrooms that will allow students, both national and international, who cannot get to the Campus to attend and participate in classes without being physically in the classroom. The sessions given with on-site students will be broadcast live over the Internet and those who attend virtually will be projected on screens so that teachers and on-site students can see and interact with them. All students, both on-site and those who cannot come to the campus, will form a single group while maintaining the same academic schedule and contact with their classmates and teachers.
With the new Smart Learning model, students will have a training which will be:
- Personalized, because it adapts to the student and their needs or circumstances, regardless of the health scenario.
- Flexible, because it overcomes the barriers of the online or face-to-face methods with a platform that allows face-to-face, blended and distance learning.
- Intelligent, because it is a new way of teaching and learning that combines physical and interactive experiences.
- Technological, in order to implement the Smart Learning methodology, classrooms have been transformed into Smart Classrooms, which consist of:
- Audio system with more than 8,000 virtual microphones per classroom
- Cameras equipped with artificial intelligence
- Smart Boards to share content to and from the Smart Classroom, enhancing collaborative work.
Smart Learning on a Smart Campus
Work has also been done to adapt all the infrastructures to create a Smart Campus (classrooms, laboratories, incubator, research infrastructures, common areas, services, student residence, fitness center, gardens ...) so that they are also sustainable and environmentally friendly spaces. Temperature controls, hand sanitizer dispensers, special soaps have also been installed, and cleaning protocols have been increased and modified, among other measures.
At La Salle - Universitat Ramon Llull we make every effort to offer students quality education and a university experience without barriers, wherever you are.
