BeeP is the portal for network activities designed for interactions between students and professors. Login with your PoliMi credentials (person code and password) and enjoy it! You can share documents, links and images, interact with virtual classrooms, follow revision lessons and ask professors questions, discuss topics on the forum and organize appointments.

POK (PoliMi Open Knowledge) is the first MOOCs portal (Massive Online Open Courses) providing online courses free and open to everybody.The main objective of the portal is to support the students, not only from PoliMi, in crucial stages of their educational and professional career. Courses are open to everybody: it is sufficient to register to the portal to access videos, contents, activities and self-assessment tests. At the end of the course, if a minimum score is met, a participation certificate will be issued (not tied to university credits or entrance test to PoliMi).

This course will guide you into the discovery of Italian language and culture. The main characters of the course are Anna and Alex. They are two Erasmus students: they are welcomed by Lorenzo and Lucia and are helped in their learning process by Elena and Giovanni. You will follow Anna and Alex in their adventures and discover the Italian language and culture with them. The course is organised in 8 main units, plus an introductory unit and a final assessment unit. You can access the course absolutely free of charge and completely online.
