THE UVIC VIRTUAL CAMPUS

What is the UVic Virtual Campus?

The UVic Virtual Campus is an intranet with academic, administrative and other information for the university community and tools for communication, learning, browsing and dynamic content.

What will you find?

In the Virtual Campus you will find general university information and specific details of your training activities; access to your UVic email account; documentation for each course: study notes, exercises, other materials, forums, chats, etc.; your grades and academic record; announcements… and much more.

How to get access?

All accepted students will be notified of their user name and password for the Virtual Campus account. As a user of the Virtual Campus you will have your own individual profile and will be able to use all the resources there.

How to change language settings?

The preset language of the Virtual Campus is Catalan. In order to change the language you should go to Settings (top right corner of the Virtual Campus). The new language will be set in the menu when you reload it.

THE MOODLE PLATFORM (Virtual Classrooms)

Our virtual classrooms use the Moodle platform, a software for creating custom virtual learning environments. The use of Moodle will vary, depending on the teachers, the activity and the students.

The most commonly used features of Moodle are:

  • receiving messages from the teacher in the classroom
  • reviewing materials proposed by teachers
  • following links to relevant resources on the web
  • submitting work online, instead of doing it on paper
  • using communication tools such as forums where everyone can participate, ask for help, give their opinion, etc.

Want to discover UVic Moodle classrooms? Register for the free course “Starting out in Moodle” in the Courses section of the Virtual Campus.

Our Helpdesk handles all requests for help by phone (+34 93 8861222) or, once you are using the Virtual Campus, through our online Help links.
