Valencia – 26.03.20. The Fundación Valenciaport has resumed this afternoon the classes of the XXVIII edition of the Master in Port Management and Intermodal Transport through its platform “Aula Virtual”. Thanks to this tool – and given the current circumstances resulting from the state of alarm – the teaching staff of the master’s programme will be able to give classes via videoconference, allowing students to resolve doubts and share live comments.

The training department of the Fundación Valenciaport, with the aim of keeping up to date with new technologies and offering its students and teachers the latest in educational innovation, has been offering courses and master’s programmes in online and blended learning since 2012, through a prestigious free software platform present in elite universities such as Oxford, UPV and New York University, among others.

As a result of the events arising from the outbreak of COVID19, the department has quickly adapted to the situation and has incorporated its own video-conferencing service into the technology so that any session of the different degrees offered can be given online.

Specifically, this afternoon the students of the Master have attended virtually to the classes of Jorge Selma, Lawyer of Selma & Illueca Abogados, who has taught the subject “The land transport contract”, and Patricia Ramos, Director of the Legal Department of Mediterranean Shipping Company Spain, who has given a class on the liner shipping.

It is expected that the classes of the master will continue in online mode and in their usual schedule until the end of the confinement period.

The Master in Port Management and Intermodal Transport is a program owned by the Port Authority of Valencia (APV), is directed by the Fundación Valenciaport and, since the XXVII edition is a title of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV).
