Intercampus: Virtual teaching of free-choice courses

Intercampus is a project of a group of Catalan universities with the support of the “Secretaria de Telecomunicacions i Societat de la Informació del Departament de Universitats, Recerca i Societat de la Informació” of the Generalitat de Catalunya, which aims to develop a pilot experience of exchange of free-choice subjects taught over the Internet.

Intercampus allows students from other universities to join the virtual teaching of a specific university, facilitates communication and information, and coordinates administrative support and attention between their university and the university that teaches the subject.

Intercampus began in the second quarter of the 1999-2000 academic year. So far, some 600 students from all over Catalonia have taken Intercampus courses.
