  The evaluation of the essay will be carried out for those applicants who pass the stages of review of requirements and evaluation of the resume.  This essay must be prepared taking into account the following guidelines and on the dates established in the schedule of the call:

Guidelines for the trial:

At Universidad Industrial de Santander, it is established [[1]] that in the distance modality and in the virtual modality, the relationship between the hours of interaction with the professor and the hours of independent work (HIP: HTI) have a higher proportion of HTI than in the face-to-face modality. The hours of interaction between the teacher and the student (HIP) are mostly synchronous (between 70 and 80%) and are mainly carried out online (between 70 and 80%), although the program establishes a proportion of academic activities that are carried out in physical spaces established in the educational project (between 20 and 30%). In the virtual modality, the development of HIP is mainly asynchronous (over 80%) and mostly online, mediated by ICT (over 80%).

The greater proportion of hours of independent work means that one of the main tutorial-type orientations is the detailed organization of interactions, which becomes a fundamental factor of the training process in distance and virtual modalities. In addition, participation in synchronous tutoring sessions is not mandatory.

Theme: Write an argumentative essay [[2]] in which you present what are the critical aspects to make interaction with students possible in distance and virtual modalities and, based on your arguments, what concrete actions you would carry out.

The argumentative essay must be submitted in PDF format, have between 700 and 1000 words, with Arial font size 11, a line spacing of 1.5 and margins of 2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm (represents an approximate length of 2 pages).

The subject of the postulated profile that is being used as a basis in the construction of the essay must be declared.

If you are applying to profiles of different academic programs, you must submit one essay for each program. If they are profiles from the same academic program, you only have to submit one essay.

The criteria to be evaluated are: Organization, coherence and relevance, Use of language, Argumentative and creative capacity, Validity of the concepts addressed, Updated reference of the bibliography.
