Abstract

The objectives of this analysis are, in the first place, to identify the steps to design an adequate time planning of the online subjects designed to train teachers in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). In the second place, to propose the specific kind of evaluation that allows us to assess the knowledge acquired by online students and, finally, to show the methodological aspects that may benefit lecturers in the design of online subjects. In order to attain these objectives, we identified the steps that are proposed in the different subjects of the diploma University Expert with Professional Competence for Teaching in Valencian that was taught at Universitat Politècnica de València during the academic years 2016-17 and 2017-18 to a total of 1,200 students. Then, we analysed and spotted the different parts of the time planning designed by the teachers of the subjects taught in the diploma and the different types of evaluation proposed. From this analysis, the time planning and evaluation were compared with the marks obtained in the subjects as well as the subjects’ questionnaires to know the efficacy of the time planning and evaluation carried out in the online subjects. When the results were extracted, the data were discussed and some recommendations were given to the teachers of online subjects. Finally, conclusions were drawn.
