Resumo:The university is currently immersed - within Europe - in a process of coordinating higher education with the adaptation into the new ECTS European credits, which implies changing from a teacher-centred model (teacher conveys knowledge) to a learner-centred model, a real challenge. From 1996, the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) is carrying out the "Campus Virtual de la UAB" project. This platform fulfils several roles that aim at providing an answer to this challenge: - It provides support to face-to-face teaching - It encourages teaching innovation - It promotes the creation of learning materials - It fosters communication - It favours monitoring the learning process - It favours self-learning and self-assessment - It enables blended teaching experiences This article will focus on how to use the communication and discussion functionalities between teacher and students, and between students themselves, and on monitoring the students' learning process.
