The program included thematic sessions on key tools such as the NAU platform, designed for creating and making open-access MOOCs available, as well as Arquivo.pt, where the inner workings of web content preservation for research purposes were demonstrated. Strategic services such as Educast, and Ciência ID were also presented, underscoring the FCCN’s role in supporting higher education institutions.
