Comment

I worked at UOC for five years as a part-time research chair in e-learning and know the faculty well. If you are looking for a strong supervisory team and wish to conduct original research in e-learning, I strongly recommend this program. And Barcelona is no hardship posting, although you don’t need to be based there full time.
