This new alternative joins Moodle ULS, expanding online learning options.

Managing learning through a collaborative classroom over the Internet is the promise of Google Classroom, a tool enabled today, Wednesday, March 25, by the Information and Computing Center of the University of La Serena (CICULS).

“As CICULS we are accompanying the online teaching process, defined by the Academic Vice-Rector, with the best tools available in the international educational sector. This new option opens a Google environment for the online classes that until now were developed in Moodle ULS,” says Andrés Moya, director of CICULS, when explaining this new technological alternative.

This tool allows you to manage online classes and can be used for 100% distance learning, as support for the face-to-face process, or also in blended or mixed mode. Among its particularities is allowing academics to create documents, share information in different formats, schedule meetings and hold them virtually.

For their part, students will also be able to access their classes, their notes or their assigned tasks from any device.

The implementation of this tool is added to Google Meet, an application focused on video conferencing, both hosted on the university's Phoenix platform.

In this way, the University of La Serena continues working on the development of digital alternatives for conducting online classes.
