UNITAR Participates in Development of Quality in Digital Learning MOOC

18 December 2015, Geneva, Switzerland - UNITAR is proud to announce that it will participate in the development and facilitation of the Quality in Digital Learning MOOC (quality4digitallearning.org), that will be held from 15 February to 25 March 2016. The MOOC will touch upon questions such as “How can quality be measured in digital learning?”, “Can the same criteria of traditional e-learning be used to measure the quality of new learning scenarios, such as mobile learning, gamified solutions or MOOCs?”, “What are the added values of an international community working on the topic of quality in digital learning?”.

UNITAR will work alongside experts from the ECBCheck community of international organizations, including UNU, FAO, ITC-ILO, World Bank Institute and GIZ, among others. However, the crucial part of the MOOC is the involvement of participants by providing the opportunity to share their own resources and bring in individual expertise and experience. The mission and overall goal of the course is to promote and stimulate a vibrant community for quality in digital learning that will remain functioning after the MOOC. The MOOC will run online free of charge. Unlike most traditional MOOCs, the focus will be less on individual knowledge acquisition, but on networking and generating new knowledge together, following the motto: Connecting, sharing and co-creating!  

The MOOC will be held in English, and is open to a broad target group: educational specialists, administrators, managers, lecturers or trainers and everyone working in the field of learning with digital media who cares about quality assurance. Participants will automatically receive badges and a certificate upon successful completion, provided he/she hasactively and collaboratively participated in the MOOC. The total course duration is 6 weeks (15 February – 25 March 2016), with a minimum of 3 hours a week for going through course materials and collaborative online work.

Upon registration, a regular newsletter will keep participants up to date on all developments concerning the MOOC.
