The digital transformation Despite already being a university run primarily online, the UOC still had to make significant technological changes to adapt to COVID-19. These ranged from ensuring that all workers were able to work from home to successfully completing all final assessments online for the first time in the University's history. This was a great challenge that – in spite of a few unexpected obstacles – enabled the UOC to speed up its digitalization process.
"Increasing the number of final tests and exams tenfold, in such a short time and without advance planning, was a significant challenge. It has been a great success." Carles Sigalés Vice President for Teaching and Learning
"The main thing was to ensure that students could accredit their learning reliably, doing so fully supported by staff at the University." Esther Gonzalvo Director of Academic Services
"Having 100% of the tests online is clearly a step we would have had to take anyway in the future, because it completes our end-to-end online university model. We have achieved in three months what we were planning to do over the next three years." Ricard Mateu Director of the Technology Department
"We are proud to have been able to complete the UOC's online model with quality and guarantees of success." Emili Rubió Deputy General Manager of Operations
