Synchronous distance learning enables one-way or two-way real-time audiovisual communication between people in different locations, exchanging video, audio and data over digital networks.
It is offered in combination with the asynchronous e-learning platform (elearn.uoc.gr). Instructors can be in their office, on or off campus, or in specially equipped distance-learning rooms with central videoconferencing systems.
The service is available to all members of the academic community, through online courses or independently. It uses services such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom, centrally supported by the Department of Educational Technology.
