Support for working with Metacampus
Unite! Metacampus is the alliance’s digital platform that enables access to the range of programmes and activities and interactive spaces that are offered through Unite! and the nine universities of the alliance. The platform is based on Moodle and is the main point of interaction for anyone who is admitted to an activity. Unite! offers a free self-study course in Metacampus and serves as an introduction to the platform. It is intended to be a first point of contact for users unfamiliar with Metacampus. The course contains basic information about what Metacampus is, what its possibilities are and how to use it. The course is aimed at teachers, students and administrative staff.
