• MetodologiaMethodology

  Project-Based Learning (PBL) in Animation: Students can work on animation projects that involve creating characters, narratives and complete animations. This allows them to apply their animation skills in real-world contexts. Live Interactive Tutorials: Online teaching platforms can offer live interactive tutorials, where instructors demonstrate animation techniques live and students can interact and ask questions during the sessions. Online Animator Communities: Participation by students in online animator communities, where they can share their work, get feedback from other animators and learn from the collective experience.
