The Universitat de València is an on-site university and a modern university that has long adapted its procedures to agile teaching and management based on efficient virtual procedures and tools.
However, the demand, caused by the current situation, to carry out teaching and assessment of all subjects in a non-attendance way, has forced the articulation of mechanisms to actively manage this non-attendance and because teachers and students have information about the tools available to them and how they can use them more effectively.
To meet this assessment, the Universitat de València (UV) currently has a Moodle-based LMS, called 'Virtual Classroom', which allows for proper monitoring of the teaching-learning process at all degree levels in which it is used: Degree, Master's Degree and Doctorate.
All UV students have access to this platform from the moment they register. On the other hand, the UV has a contract with Microsoft for the use, by all members of the university community, of the tools contained in Office365, and for access to the Teams platform. Virtual Classroom and Teams allow the evaluation of students through the delivery of tasks and questionnaires, after validation on these platforms. The UV also has the video conferencing service Blackboard Collaborate (BbC) accessible from Virtual Classroom, and the video conferencing system integrated into the Teams platform.
The Universitat de València has proposed an evaluation focused mainly on the work of the student in the final test, diversifying the evaluation activities among those that can be carried out with the tools that the Universitat de València has and can guarantee adequate security and sufficient response capacity to intensive use.
In section 6 of the document approved by the Governing Council of the UV, the guidelines and tools for teaching and non-attendance assessment can be consulted. Members of the university community can access the complete document at this URL: http://links.uv.es/y90s5Yk

The Final Degree Project and the Master's Degree Final Project is one of the most unique, and we could say complete, subjects of a degree since, with their completion and defence, students demonstrate their competence to apply, in a practical way, the specific, but also transversal, knowledge and skills acquired throughout their training.
It is therefore a very important subject for student training, which has also been affected, like the rest of university teaching activity, by the lack of attendance caused by the current emergency situation.
In order to guarantee that the training of our students can be completed adequately and, whenever possible, within the time frame of the current academic year, the following instruction has been prepared which establishes the criteria to be applied to the tutoring, deposit and defence of the TFG and TFM during this exceptional period.
The guidelines and tools for teaching and non-attendance evaluation can be found in section 5 of the document approved by the Governing Council of the UV. Members of the university community can access the complete document at this URL: http://links.uv.es/y90s5Yk
The following is an extract of the most relevant information from the instruction.
The teaching staff assigned to tutor a TFG or TFM will continue to carry out the tasks of guidance and monitoring of the work, and when the work is ready to be submitted, they will issue the corresponding report of the tutored work electronically.
The student will make the deposit of the TFG or TFM by the usual procedure, through the Electronic Headquarters of the Universitat de València (through Entreu) and will process by this way the request of defence and evaluation of the work, issuing an electronic version of the final work.
The defence of the TFG or TFM will be made on the date fixed by each degree or master's degree for each call, following the following indications:
Update date: 14/05/20 11:20:16
Generally, it will be facilitated that the student body can carry out and defend the TFG and TFM within the established deadlines and always within the calls and the academic calendar set for the 2019-2020 academic year.
In those cases, in which the TFG or TFM require experimental data, the work will be done with the data that the student had at the time the alarm situation was caused.
If the student does not have his own data, or they are not enough to be able to make the presentation and discussion of the results and conclusions required by the TFG or TFM, the tutor will be able to provide the student with the necessary data because he can make the proposed work. In this case, it will be necessary to delimit and sign in a document the authorship or, if applicable, co-authorship of the work, delimiting it and clarifying it according to the typologies foreseen in article 7 of the Revised Text of the Law on Intellectual Property.
Only in cases where it was impossible to adequately perform the TFG or TFM assigned, and it is also impossible to reconsider it, one of the following alternatives may be arbitrated:
In these cases, the Final Degree Project Committee, or the CCA (Academic Committee) in the case of master's degrees, will have to justify the impossibility of completing the TFG or TFM within the previously established deadlines, for which it may require a brief report from the tutor of the work.
The choice of one or the other of these alternatives will be made considering the opinion of the student and the tutor.
When the application of this instruction to a degree is considered necessary to adapt and/or modify the performance, defence and/or assessment criteria set out in the Verification Report, an addendum to the TFG or TFM course guide will be made. This addendum will directly modify these aspects for this exceptional and temporary situation.
Likewise, students who may be affected by any decision or modification will be adequately informed sufficiently in advance.
