Among the different strategies adopted by educational institutions, remote learning was one of the most chosen options to replace physical presence.

In fact, one of the highest priorities at a national level, within the higher education context, was the adoption of non-face-to-face methodologies without hindering the students’ learning activities. This context set the grounds for the “Exploring online methodologies in the development of skills in the audiovisual field” project, which, involves three Portuguese and one Spanish higher education institution, which share the same values, principles and mission and are motivated to promote innovative proposals, both in research and education. In addition, the network it presents training diversity within undergraduate degrees, masters and technological specialization programs, which enables privileged contact with students and facilitates the establishment of priorities and needs. The project aims to implement an online course dedicated to audiovisual content production, from the idea to the final product, in order to respond to the need for online training in this particular area.
