NEW LEARNING USING INTERACTIVE PLATFORMS CREATED BY STUDENTS. CASE STUDIES PRODUCED AS FINAL DEGREE PROJECTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIC- CENTRAL UNIVERSITY OF CATALONIA

The University of Vic-Central University of Catalonia (UVic-UCC) is a young university, officially recognised by the Parliament of Catalonia in May 1997. Since the University of Vic first offered Communication Studies in 2005, it has focused on new media practices and interactive projects. Before the implementation of the Bologna Process the 4th year students of the Audiovisual Communication Degree had to develop a Final Degree Project. Students had an entire year, and four related subjects, to create interactive platforms in which the different parts were combined to become a single audiovisual and multimedia online project. In this article we analyse three specific projects developed in different contexts and colleges: Projecte Lumieres (2010), I tu qui ets? (2011) and Proyecto Icaria (2012). Projecte Lumieres is the first Catalan database related to cinema history, and its origin is the subject "Cinema History", taught at the Business and Communication College. The idea behind Proyecto Icaria, an interactive movie, arose in the same College, but this time related to the videogames and fiction subjects. I tu qui ets? was born in the Education, Humanities and Translation College from a subject called "Gender equality". Today these projects are used by both teachers and students from these subjects and colleges in order to experiment with new learning methodologies and teaching models in Spain.
