UOC UNESCO Chair in E-Learning 5th International Seminar

Fighting the digital divide through education

  • Sclipo, UOC and UNESCO

    Sclipo is proud to be teaming up with UOC and UNESCO to bring you the UNESCO Chair in E-Learning Fifth International Seminar via Sclipo’s Live Web Classrooms.

  • How does the Web Classroom work?

    1. Find the time of the presentation you are interested in on the schedule and at that time click on the link to “Enter, class in session!”.
    2. Once you have entered the web classroom select “Student” as your role, write in your name, and your location.
    3. Configure and close the flash pop-up. That’s it.
    4. At the end of each session you can participate! Simply click on “Request a Turn” in the Student window and wait for the moderator to call on you.

    Important: As a student, you do not need a webcam and microphone, but you will need  them if you want to be seen and heard during a class. 

  • Can I return and see the presentations later?

    Yes, all of the presentations will be recorded and available to view at academy UOC here in Sclipo.
