With more than 30 years' experience providing high quality online education, we have been keenly studying these challenges. This page documents our reflections.

"Challenges of predoctoral education in the wake of COVID-19"
David Masip, Director or the UOC Doctoral School
We assist other institutions and governments around the world with their processes for the digitalization of higher education, providing expertise and consultancy services. We offer them the knowledge and experience we have gained from over 30 years of developing online education.
The UOC has some 20 multidisciplinary research groups working on e-learning and a centre dedicated to educational innovation: the eLearning Innovation Center. They are all working to adapt online learning to today's new reality.
Likewise, the UOC is driving the digital transformation of education as part of its commitment to make lifelong higher education available to everyone.
We first published Our response to COVID-19 on 13 March 2020, as a way to address the challenges and uncertainties brought on by the pandemic.
