The web page aims to make the CLIK’s and UPF’s innovation actions visible to an international audience, as well as to promote numerous initiative supports and grants to the university community. The site, developed jointly between “Serveis Web” and the CLIK staff, brings together all kinds of activities for UPF teaching and research staff in three languages, and in a clear and modern way.

"With this new website it is now easier to access information and consult the UPF’s progress in terms of educational and social innovation, multilingualism and teaching training," explains Professor Manel Jiménez Morales, director of the CLIK. "If teachers wish to look for scholarships, grants or new courses for their professional development, for example, it will be quick for them to find a clear explanation on how to apply for them." Indeed, grants such as the "PlaCLIK" (innovation), "Erasmus +" (mobility), teacher training programs, or support actions in the creation of digital learning materials are now much easier to spot.

"The work of CQUID was excellent and the CLIK wants to upgrade it: we would like to be more accessible both to our faculty and other universities, spread the word of new initiatives, and show the UPF’s teaching to the world," claims Professor Jiménez. “This required some changes in the way we communicate. We have extracted important information from the Intranet and provided it greater online visibility. With the new website, our free continuing education programme, the latest digital resources in education and upcoming conferences, are now closer to the user.

The web also refers to technological innovation in the form of MOOC production support: "Many teachers still do not know that they can complement or transform their courses in a MOOC, something that we promote jointly between the CLIK and the Factoria+ by offering pedagogical and technical advice to teachers", adds Jiménez, who is also a professor at the UCA of Communication. "This is a way to position UPF as an innovative university that follows the current educational trends."

The new website also includes a selection of studies and publications that the center has developed in recent years. "We elaborate studies with very valuable data regarding the functioning of our university. In the new website we highlight the new European paradigms on language policy, the latest research in educational trends and the impact of university projects among students."

One of the CLIK’s new initiatives is "Teaching Counseling", free pedagogical and linguistic aid sessions offered by the CLIK team to teachers who wish to enhance their teaching methods. "Through personal interviews and class observation we try to make it easier for lecturers to teach for the first time or "update" their teaching methodologies."

The CLIK is structured in three areas: "Training, Knowledge and Learning "; "Teaching Innovation" and "Multilingualism". For now, only the first two are represented within the new website. "The Multilingualism Area has a web of its own. That’s why it is only partially integrated in the CLIK’s new website. The idea is to include it in a second phase, as will happen with the Tutorial Action Plan (ACTE)."
