2. Description of services
2.1. Programs
Founderz, through the registration to the Program(s), makes available to the Users a training Platform that offers the User access to the selected Program consisting of different learning modules (“Modules”). The programmes in question are offered in microlearning format and in online mode from pre-recorded lectures (“Lectures”) on the specific subject matter of the respective Program, as well as access to a virtual campus (“Virtual Campus”) with a variety of additional content of the selected Program including the interactions of the online community (“Services”).
Founderz is a private entity and its Programs in no case may be considered university or officially recognized education. Furthermore, Founderz is not affiliated with any public or private university.
2.2. Virtual Campus
By registering for a Programme, the User will have access to the Founderz Virtual Campus, through which it will be able to access the virtual rooms of the Programmes (Virtual Room/s”) in which it has registered. Within these Virtual Rooms, the User will be able to contact other Users enrolled in the same Programme, as well as access an interactive space where it can talk to Users who are currently in the Programme’s Virtual Room. These Virtual Rooms are a tool that the User has at its disposal to increase its training experience in the Programme, thus allowing the User to share its doubts, knowledge, curiosities, etc. with the rest of its colleagues, which guarantees a greater collective learning of the Users.
For more information about the processing of the User’s personal data in the Virtual Rooms, please consult our Privacy Policy.
2.3 Module Activities
Depending on the Programme to which the User has enrolled, at the end of each of the Modules, the User must carry out an activity based on the recording of a video in which the User’s screen, voice and/or image appears. This activity will be shared with the teachers for its evaluation, although it may also be shared with the rest of the User’s colleagues in the Programme.
The activities of the Modules are essential for the correct learning of the User, as well as for the passing of each of the Modules of the Programme. Likewise, in order for the User to obtain a greater training experience, these activities will be shared with all the Users enrolled in the Programme with the aim of sharing and receiving opinions, comments or improvements on the activities that will enable the knowledge acquired by the User in the Programme to be improved.
However, to ensure that Users learn more, we recommend that the activities recorded by the Users themselves are shared with the rest of the partners in the Programme. Although Founderz ensures the privacy of users and makes available to the user the option not to share such activities with users, which can not be enabled from the panel “More settings” in the “Privacy” section.
2.4. Live Sessions
