Poster presentation at Research Workshop EDEN 2018 – NETWORK LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS: INTEGRATING AN ONLINE LEARNING MODEL WITH THE WORDPRESS PUBLISHING MODEL FOR THE TEACHING-LEARNING OF GRAPHIC DESIGN AND ARTS

Quelic Berga (Berga, Quelic, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), Blasco, Laia, UOC, Melenchón, Javier, UOC, Spain) presents a poster at Research Workshop EDEN 2018.

With the creation of the Grado de Diseño y Creación Digital and the Grado de Artes, the Universidad Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) has started to implement improvements in its virtual campus to allow students to work with visual elements. Several surveys and pilot tests have been carried out over the last four years with the aim of solving the need for students to show their visual creations online. We have developed a system that bridges student’s classroom with their own university e-portfolio, allowing accompaniment and continuous evaluation and at the same time following the professional standards to allow an easy migration towards a professional e-portfolio. We show an efficient way to integrate the online learning environment of the UOC with the open source culture of WordPress respecting its values, methods and standards.
