Politehnica University Timișoara, through the Virtual Campus of UPT, continues to provide quality education in the current crisis situation. Both students and teachers have all the resources available to access and provide education at the highest level of quality. The team of the e-Learning Center provides continuous support to teachers through a series of webinars (online seminars) for training in the use of the most modern online teaching resources.

The students of Politehnica University Timișoara, as well as the teachers, have both video tutorials for using the Virtual Campus (CVUPT), other online resources and tools, and open educational resources, to ensure the continuity of the exclusively online teaching process. Now there are over 25,000 users in CVUPT (https://cv.upt.ro/), the amount of information for the more than 2850 Bachelor and Master courses is 45 times higher than it was in the last two weeks, and the activity increased exponentially, reaching 180,000 per day, with over 25,000 emails and notifications per day.

In addition, in order to ensure continuous support in online education, the e- Learning Center's team daily holds webinars (online seminars) dedicated to UPT teachers. In the series of 7 webinars held so far, between 160 and 280 teachers participated daily, but they are online both in CVUPT and on video platforms and on the website elearning.upt.ro. These webinars are available online, freely and are also accessed by teachers from other universities, UPT thus contributing to the support of the Romanian educational environment during this period.            

The online seminars were supported by Diana Andone, PhD, the CeL director, and addressed topics such as the use of UPT Virtual Campus and how to integrate courses with the platform, resources and free online and video conferencing courses via CVUPT and Zoom, practical examples of to teach and examine students online, through CVUPT or ways to integrate MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) courses into daily activities. Each online session was provided with a question and answer section, and on March 23, 2020 the session benefited from the direct interaction with assoc. prof. eng. Florin Drăgan, PhD, Rector of UPT.

A series of tutorials for the use of UPT Virtual Campus (https://elearning.upt.ro/en/campus-virtual/) as well as other online tools, very useful and accessible during this period, have been made in the last year in collaboration with students from the Multimedia Technologies master program. The students are continuously involved in the continuous development and support of the online activity, through a close communication online, but also through the support given to their colleagues from the younger years.
