The courses were already created, but students were not aware of their existence. So the first step was already taken, now we want students to acknowledge the opportunities that are available to them. UCU currently sends emails in order to notify students that there is a workshop or a course, however due to the amount of activities there are, and the channel that is currently being implemented, it is not effective, and frequently sent automatically to spam.

The space in question is approximately 70% of the login page to the university's servers. So the idea is ~~the~~ to employ that area that is necessarily seen by students, to communicate the different activities. It will be organized in three different segments. Adjacent to the login interface, there will be an advertisement of the course of event of the week. Just below that, the name of the activity and a short description of what is about, will be placed. An Oxford research, shows that students are more prone to paying attention when they have a video summarizing the content of such activity. So this video, that will last 30 seconds, are going to be produced by the students of Centro Ignis(a center of UCU that specializes in providing and producing audiovisual content). The third region is going to have a calendar, that enumerates the upcoming events, being a constant reminder of new activities. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We, fellow candidate will be responsible for designing the website, keeping it updated, encouraging ~~alumni~~ students to pay attention to it, and make the link between the students that produce the clip and the referent of that activity.
