Basic outlines and activities

• Most of the students are adults (over 20) with other

occupations and responsabilities

• A small number are teenagers in special conditions

(sportmen, musicians, phisically handicapped people,

students living abroad, situations of social deprivation…)

• The IOC has the 3% of students from Catalonia

• In vocational training the number is higher (7%)

Basic outlines and activities

• The IOC is a new and singular e-learning project approach available for supporting the improvement of teaching and learning and also for increasing the access to high-quality, equal education in all forms and at all educational levels.

• So the IOC’s aim is the personal education project of the student. All the organizational process works in order to gain this complete process. The cycle of value of the student is the essential process in the IOC.
