Campus 5.0
One of the new developments for this academic year is the launch of the UOC’s Campus 5.0 for the whole university community. This is the UOC’s new virtual campus, designed by the Office of Learning Technologies to provide a more pleasant learning experience.

Another benefit is that the architecture can incorporate modules from learning platforms such as Moodle or Sakai and applications such as Gmail or Facebook.
Likewise, it is accessible from any device with an internet connection: mobile telephones, PDAs, ebooks, etc.
