Currently, the model of teaching / learning is based on the online environment, leveraging the capabilities of the Internet for communication and content distribution. The e-learning increases the chances of spreading knowledge and information for students and has become a way of democratizing knowledge to the layers of the population with access to new technologies, allowing knowledge to be available anytime and anywhere. CESPU provides a moodle portal that aggregates all the services and information relating to e-learning / b-learning and support the online classroom at elearning.cespu.pt. To access to this platform students and teachers must use their personal credentials.
