UC3M fosters the continuous professional training and development of its faculty and foments innovation in teaching. In recent years it has set up MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) on outstanding international platforms such as edX and miriadaX. The University also uses this methodology to enhance the quality of its online teaching and learning through its SPOCs (Small Private Online Courses) together with other many innovative initiatives.
