E-Learning at the Faculty of Computer Science of Valencia: A Report.

Abstract

Over the last few years, the Faculty of Computer Science of the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia (UPV) has been offering part of the subjects included in its degrees as non-present teaching, providing a facility for the students that share their studies with a job. This facility can be seen as a virtual learning environment (VLE) that includes, in most cases, the possibility of following theoretical lectures by getting the related subject information from Websites and contacting with teachers by means of e-mail, chats and forums. Nowadays, the UPV has developed a new education platform called PoliformaT, which is available for all subjects. This new tool is intended to support a complete e-learning process, ranging from theoretical lectures to practical activities and assessment tools. This paper describes how the Faculty of Computer Science has been introducing these resources in its degrees, in order to help the learning process of the students.
