Professors will be able to create and manage educational contents autonomously. Potential different solutions are allowed as long as they are compliant with the minimum safety measures required by Sapienza.

The suggested proposals – based on educational aims and targets - are also available in the "Handbook" on this page and they have been already mailed to all the professors. In short:

1. How to create a virtual class, share teaching material and directly communicate with students (chat/forum):

   • Classroom: free online app, available on Suite Google Educational. Access through the university email address.

   • Moodle. Professors can access through the dedicated platform (https://elearning.uniroma1.it/). Prior knowledge of Moodle is warmly suggested.

2. How to create and deliver online lessons/webinar:

   • Meet: free online app available on Suite Google Educational. Access through the university email address.

3. How to create audio/video classes:

   • PowerPoint: a digital tool for off-line audio lessons and online sharing.

   • Open Broadcaster Software: this digital tool helps create videos and videos on streaming defining one or more input source (https://obsproject.com). Prior knowledge of OBS is warmly suggested.

Each solution comes with its instructions. In addition, the InfoSapienza ICT Area is going to organise online information sessions to help the users.

Professors who are interested in using off-campus teaching activities must publish a message on their “scheda docente” noticeboard in the Course Catalogue. 

• Read the handbook "Tecnologie di facile utilizzo a supporto della didattica a distanza" (pdf) in Italian

• Prodigit - Manuale per eseguire l'appello studenti in aula (in Italian) 

Please, visit the Italian version of this page for more links, guidelines and tutorials 

Students will find all the instructions provided by each professor on “Scheda docente” in the Course Catalogue, through the online Annuario, entering the professor's name and surname
Annuario 

Please note: all the information about off-site teaching activities will be available on each “scheda docente” once the professor creates the contents and defines the required digital tools.

To use Classroom you just need a workspace with internet access. You need to choose a browser (i.e. Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari). Classroom supports all the leading browsers.

Prior knowledge of Moodle is warmly suggested. To use this platform you just need a workspace with internet access and a relatively recent browser (i.e. Firefox, Chrome, Edge)

Meet is a video-conference-calling platform also designed for online classes and meeting, which links two or more remote colleagues together for real-time interaction. Accessibility tools, such as automatic subtitles, are included. To better face the COVID-19 emergency, until July 1, 2020, Google provides the schools that use G Suite for Education with some advanced features for Meet. Like, for example, videocalls for up to 250 participants and the ability to record meetings and save them to Google Drive (live streaming).

You can take part in the video conferences through a pc or different devices.

With this tool, you can create offline audio classes and, at a later time, share it online. You can synchronize audio, slides and animations/pictures. This system also allows recording of the laser pointer's movements. Once the lesson is ready, we suggest you save it in a video format to give access to as many users as possible. To use PowerPoint you need a Windows pc or Mac, Microsoft Office 2013 for basic features or Office 365/Microsoft Office 2019 for advanced features such as visualising the professor's camera in the slides or using the screen as an interactive whiteboard, microphone or webcam.

Please Note: the whole academic community, through our University “Campus” subscription, can have free access to the Microsoft Office 365 suite, updated version. Students and professors can download it into their personal devices

Notes for online written exams with Exam.net and Safe Exam Browser:

When using Exam.net and Safe Exam Browser (SEB) for online written examinations, please check that all the tools work correctly, before the examination session.

For installation, please pay attention to the incompatibilities declared by the product developers, in particular to any antivirus on your device, as indicated at https://safeexambrowser.org/faq/faq_en.html.

In general, if the antivirus detects SEB as a non-permissible program, it is usually sufficient to include it among the authorised exceptions (see your antivirus tutorial or manual).

At any time you can try a mock exam prepared by the InfoSapienza Centre, at https://exam.net/, by entering the exam key hQQSSq, to test the correct functioning of SEB.
