Abstract
The situation caused by the evolution of the coronavirus, COVID-19, during March 2020 has led the Spanish government, Spain’s various autonomous governments and Spain’s universities to adopt extraordinary containment measures relating to the suspension of face-to-face academic activities in all higher education institutions and the continuation of these activities remotely.
In response to this situation, the Spanish Ministry of Universities (Ministerio de Universidades), the various regional ministries (consejerías) concerned, Crue Universidades Españolas and other Spanish universities have developed an extensive set of measures to address this contingency scenario, and enable the satisfactory delivery of university teaching activities. The groups main objective of preparing this document - a report on remote assessment procedure options, was to considers every facet of the process: methodological, regulatory (including data protection) and technological. Their holistic approach, which considers not only the remote assessment options but also the impact of adopting them on our universities’ departments in terms of each different fact, will be useful when designing action plans.
