Back-to-school time can be seen by students as an opportunity to make significant changes to their routines. We've highlighted some goals for this school year that can be more easily met by students using our digital services.
All these solutions from the Foundation for Science and Technology are developed by its digital services unit FCCN and are just a click away .
#1 Consolidate your knowledge
Attending university is an opportunity to grow on many levels and it may not just be about the new knowledge and skills you acquire in class.
One of the goals you can set yourself is to consolidate your tastes and interests in various areas and fields of knowledge. To do this, you can always count on the NAU Platform, which gives you access to open, massive online courses in various areas of knowledge (Environment, Communication, Health, Cybersecurity, among many others).
The Educast portal also gives you access to a wide range of academic and scientific knowledge shared on video, often by other higher education students.
#2 Enrich your academic work
One of the ways to guarantee better results in academic work is to strengthen and complement your bibliographies.
FCCN has services that can help you in this mission. With the Online Knowledge Library (B-on), you have unlimited and permanent access to thousands of journals and e-books published by some of the main international publishers. On the other hand, in(RCAAP) you will find a single point of search and access to thousands of scientific and academic documents, in a way that promotes open access to knowledge.
Finally, if you want to go back in time to collect information, go to Arquivo.pt. This service aggregates pages published online since 1996, and this information is important for completing academic work.
#3 Take your events further
One of the ways you can enrich your curriculum is by organizing academic events such as lectures , workshops or simple classroom presentations. To do this, you can get together with a group of colleagues and ask one or more teachers to create a unique initiative.
This is a way of staying active, while creating contacts that could be very relevant in your professional future. To give scale to your events, you can also count on our Videocast service, which allows you to broadcast the moment on video to the whole world, securely, via a web page, with the possibility of integration into social networks.
#4 Take your work to a professional level
Communication is now a fundamental aspect of academic and scientific life. Why not share your main conclusions at the end of your work in a professional video?
For this task, you can once again count on Educast and once you've uploaded it, your video will be available to everyone! But this process begins before publication: use material from a professional studio to record an interview, a presentation of a work or podcast or any other format, using the Studio FCCNcompletely free of charge and with the technical support of our team.
