2. Have a Virtual Learning Classroom (AVA) and require support to update it during semester 2025-2 and implement it either in that same semester or, if it is an annual academic activity, in semester 2026-1.

Once the most appropriate scenario has been identified, professors wishing to apply must contact a student who meets the requirements to be hired under a student assistantship, and must collect the following documents:

Assignment of

Student Assistantships

.

To allocate the number of hours for each student assistantship, the primary selection criterion in this call is the order of the lists established during application registration for each scenario, based on available resources.

Within the time allocated for the assistantship, the student must dedicate ten (10) hours to training in the role of course editor on the institutional Moodle platform. This training will be guided and certified by CEDEDUIS.

The minimum number of hours allocated per assistantship in the semester will be 100 for the first scenario and 85 for the second. In both cases, these hours must be carried out during semester 2025-2. It should be noted that, for annual academic activities, assistantship hours will only be allocated during semester 2025-2.

 The results of this call will be sent via email to each of the registered professors and students.
