The communication spaces offer, in the Virtual Campus, an environment to which:

• Coordinating users who can publish information and notices.
• All students and/or teachers of a Degree, Faculty, Doctorate,… who can consult the information published by the coordination team and receive notices.

They are Moodle classrooms that have a restricted set of tools to facilitate communication with the large volume of users who have access to them.

We distinguish two types of participants fundamentally:

• people with “Docent” role – in charge of managing the space. They can:
  • Publish communications in the Notices and News Forum,
  • Create Forum activities,
  • Send mass messages to all participating people.
  • Publish contents (resources):Folder, tag, file, book, page, url.

• people with role “Student” – have access to the classroom but cannot manage it:
  • They receive all emails with notices and/or news that are published in the “News Forum” or in other forums that are created, as well as messages.
  • They can consult all the information published in the forums, but they cannot respond within the same forum. The reason is that it could involve a large volume of responses from the N potential students.
  • They cannot consult the list of participating people. The reason is to avoid mass sending of messages.
  • They can consult and download the published content.
  • NOTE. They are registered automatically, based on the updated information available in Sigma about the students enrolled in a Degree, or about the teaching staff assigned to teach a Degree. For this reason, it is not possible to remove a person from the classroom individually.
