E-learning
E-learning is delivered via the MS Teams platform, where students have access to all study materials (lectures, tutorials, and supplementary resources). A dedicated team is created for each course instance before the start of the semester, and students are enrolled by the instructor. Access to the team is provided to students via their university email.
