Abstract:
This article presents a case study exploring the remote learning experience of
the Graphic Planning and Visual Creation classes of a journalism course offered
at the Araguaia Campus of Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso, Brazil. This
study focused on the second semester of 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic,
when the active learning methodology of the flipped classroom was employed
in these classes. Using a qualitative and descriptive approach, we analyze
the experience of teaching practical subjects — normally taught in person in
university labs using specific software programs — in a remote setting without
hampering the teaching–learning process. In this case study, the students and
professors used Canva as an innovative learning method to effectively create
high-quality advertising and journalistic works.
