In this way, the university seeks to provide alternatives to the educational development of its community, during the preventive quarantine period against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Within the framework of the COVID-19 virus pandemic, the University of La Serena, through the Office of Distance Education (OED), has made available to the regional community a series of multimedia content and resources in various areas of the knowledge, as part of its territorial commitment.

These MOOCs (Massive Online Open Course) are massive courses developed by professionals, through one of the most modern distance education platforms in the country, which have some topics of general interest. These courses seek to support the areas of astronomy, chemistry, mathematics and study habits and are intended to especially support students in the school system and the entire community in general.

The courses will be open and are completely free. Those interested should go to the page http://mooc.userena.digital/ and register with your email and you will be able to opt for the course you want for free.

In addition, the ULS has made available an audiovisual repository in which people will be able to view various talks and material recorded in various activities. To learn more about this repository, visit the page http://media.userena.digital/. 

Finally, the ULS began its 2020 training offer of distance diploma courses, for which applications are now open. Those who wish to complement their studies from home and learn about all the diploma courses that are currently being taught should go to the site http://diplomados.userena.digital/ where you can get all the information you need.
