Do I have right to belong to a Virtual Classroom subject?
Aula Virtual -
For all purposes, the faculty that officially consists of the POD of the subject will have access to the virtual classroom of a subject. As the responsibility of the teaching of the subjects rests in the Departments. of the University, it will be the Department responsible for the teaching of the group who will have to know and record that information in the POD application. In this application it is possible, if it is considered necessary, to register a teacher and assign him 0h. of teaching to reflect its relation with the subject for reasons of coordination (or any other).
With exceptional character, and if it were not possible to modify the POD of the subject, the teaching staff with POD and, therefore, with access to the virtual classroom of a subject may authorize access to it to another UV teaching staff.
In any case, since the permission to access the virtual classroom of a subject results in access to data and materials of students and teachers, it must be the teachers responsible for the subject (Department or teachers) that explicitly authorize access to another faculty.

How to manage the Master's subjects?
-
The Student Service and the HR-PDI service have established criteria in relation to the management of Master's subjects.
-
The Student Service submitted a document with instructions in which, among other issues, it is indicated how to register members in the Virtual classroom.
-
In the writing it is clear, that by default, only professors assigned to this subject will be admitted in the Virtual classroom of a subject. Therefore, if the teacher of a subject considers it appropriate for third parties to have access to the management environment of their teaching, and to the teaching information generated by their students, it must be their own teacher who, under their responsibility, authorizes the access of those people.
-
For which, it has to use the mechanisms arranged in the Virtual Classroom itself.
-
In those particular cases of subjects without teachers registered in POD (to be all external teachers) it is necessary to follow the mechanisms established for this purpose from the HR-PDI Service.
-
In these cases, in accordance with the instruction that this service sent to the centers, it has to be requested from the HR-PDI Service that incorporates UV personnel into these subjects (generally to the Master's Director).
-
These personnel, once incorporated into the POD, will already have access to the Virtual classroom and will have to act with respect to the registration of external (or own) teachers in the Virtual Classroom as indicated in the instructions of the Student Service.
-
If in the case of this particular Master, it is considered that certain people have to access in the Virtual classroom of all subjects, the way to act is to address all the master's degree faculty, who is responsible for their spaces in Virtual Classroom, because I authorize these people to access their subjects.

How can I modify my photograph in Virtual Classroom?
Aula Virtual -
The photo in the virtual classroom is the same photo as the Virtual Secretary, therefore, to modify the photo in the virtual classroom, there is a procedure to modify the photo from the Virtual Secretary.
With this service any staff or PDI can modify the photograph shown in the applications of the Universitat de València.
All you have to do is select a picture with the indicated characteristics and authorize this photograph to be used in the University's applications instead of the existing one. If it is not authorized, the photograph is not modified. The user can always leave his original photograph again.
If you have uploaded the photo and the photo is still not updated in the Virtual Classroom, go to the General tab> Browse photo. Under your "Current photo" click on the "Browse photo" button. It is important that even if you see your picture, click on the "Browse photo" button. This procedure completes the tables used by the Virtual Classroom to be updated at night.
For students there is another procedure:
Those students who want to change their photo have to go through the secretary of their center where the corresponding staff can make the change after submitting their photo in digital format.
If the student has already delivered his photo in the center but the voice in Virtual Classroom has not yet updated his / her photo of Secretària Virtual they must update their photo from the Virtual Classroom in the General tab> Browse photography. Under your "Current photo" click on the "Examine my photo" button. It is important that even if you see your picture, click on the "Examine photo" button.

Each user can configure if he wants to receive these messages or not.
-
Do not answer these messages.

The teacher can deactivate in the course if he wants to disable some type of reminder by clicking on the gear wheel and selecting the "reminders" option.

How do I notify a folder update for students?
-
It is recommended that whenever new files are added or a task is configured for the students, a warning will be added in the "News" Forum of the course. In this way students will receive notification.
-
There is also another option in which the teacher of a course in the new Virtual Classroom can configure a rule in their courses because the system sent a notification when the contents of a folder were updated. Keep in mind that:
-
This rule sends notification when the teacher adds, deletes files that are inside a folder in the Moodle course.
-
So the student receives notification it is necessary to subscribe to the rule.
- Guide to create this rule

What is the plagiarism system URKUND?
The sources used are:
- Internet.
- Published material consisting of hundreds of millions of books, reference works, scientific articles, etc.
- Student material It may happen that a student plagiarizes material from another student or that they work together with small variations to present to the teacher.
IMPORTANT:
- Anti-plagiarism systems help detect plagiarism but are not a substitute for the examiner's work.
- Teachers will analyze the report provided by Urkund.
- Teachers make the decision to qualify a job as plagiarism or not.
Example:
A job uploaded to the platform and that the Urkund report provides 100% coincidence does not imply that there has been plagiarism. It may be that the same work has been previously uploaded by the same or another teacher to the platform.
Urkund has a system to exclude duplicates and perform a more accurate analysis.In the following links you have help documents to use the tool.

What should I know about the secure exam browser?
SEB opens a web browser window without navigation elements and locks the computer in kiosk mode,
which avoids changing other applications or leaving SEB prematurely. SEB allows secure exams on unmanaged computers,
such as student laptops themselves, as well as in managed environments.It is possible to activate its use in the Virtual Classroom questionnaires but we DO NOT RECOMMEND its use for the following reasons:
- It is only possible to use it in Windows and MacOS operating systems.
- NOT available for Linux, Android, etc.
- The SEB is more thought for centralized facilities, such as Computer Rooms.
- Does not give 100% copy reliability.
- In order to solve the exam, ALL USERS (students) must have it installed on their computer. Note, again, that a student who has Linux installed on their computer WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE THE TEST.
- Complexity in the configuration by the user (students and teachers).
- Although it is enabled in the Virtual Classroom for its use, it is an external tool that we DO NOT GIVE SUPPORT FOR ITS USE.
-
How to request the activation of the official subgroups?
-
Through the center centre d'atenció a l'usuari you can request that you activate the official subgroups of your subject-group as Moodle groups. When requesting it, you must indicate the type of subgroup. If not indicated, all existing types for that subject will be created.
-
Once requested its activation, all existing subgroups of the requested type were created. Once created, the teachers will be responsible for the maintenance of the additions and deletions of the students in the subgroup.
Type list for the undergraduate subjects:

-
Can I delete the assignments already submitted and graded?
Student submissions and grades are lost. This process is irreversible.
When an activity is deleted, it appears in the recycle bin. If it is later restored, it is important to note that DELIVERIES AND RATINGS ARE NOT RECOVERED. -
How to upload videos to a course?
It is important to indicate that it is not appropriate to directly upload videos to the Virtual Classroom. It slows down the operation of the courses and it must be taken into account that although the resources are large, they are not unlimited.
It is convenient to follow a two-step procedure that is:
-
Upload video file to Mmedia (To consult how click here)
-
In the Virtual Classroom create a resource (Label, Page, Book, etc.) where we link the video hosted by Mmedia Video can be displayed on the main page of the course using a "tag" resource.
EN MMEDIA:
Find the video in mmedia.
Click on the "HTML5" icon to convert the video to HTML5.
When the video is already converted, right-click and choose "Copy video address".
EN AULA VIRTUAL
Activate editing> Add resource or activity> Label.
In the "Label text" field, click on the button to display all the buttons on the edit bar.
Select the button "Upload multimedia files".
Save and return to course.
On the main page of the course "Deactivate editing". The video does not appear correctly on the main page of the course until editing is disabled.
You will see the video displayed on the main page of the course.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERLOAD THE MAIN PAGE OF A VIDEO COURSE (even if they are linked) because it would take a long time to load the page.
RECOMMENDATION: If many videos are to be uploaded, you can leave them on the main page of the course as an introduction, and for the others you can use other resources and link the videos, for example, "Page, Book"
