About UOC’s Virtual Campus

The virtual campus of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) was born in 1995. UOC emerged from the knowledge society and its mission has always been to provide people with training throughout their lives. The University aims at ensuring that each student satisfies his/her learning needs, gaining the maximum benefit from their own efforts.

To this end, UOC offers intensive use of information and communications technologies (ICT), thereby enabling users to overcome the barriers imposed by time and space and to offer an educational model based on personalized attention for each individual student. At UOC, students, professors and administrators interact and cooperate via the Virtual Campus, constituting a university community which uses the Internet to create, structure, share and disseminate knowledge.

Our Mission

Our mission is to create a virtual campus environment that goes beyond functionality and usability, an environment in which students can enjoy the learning process and also contribute to their life-work balance, enriching them as students and as people.

Our Methodology

The Office of Learning Technologies follows a User Centered Design (UCD) approach which consists of implementing design processes in which end users influence how a design takes shape. It is both a broad philosophy and a variety of methods. There is a spectrum of ways in which users are involved in UCD and the key issue is that users are involved in the definition, design and evaluation of UOC’s applications and online environment.
