En la actualidad, la crisis ambiental ha adquirido notoria visibilidad y cada vez son más los conflictos sociales y ecológicos a nivel global y local. Este contexto nos demanda problematizar la realidad socio ambiental, repensar formas para reconectarnos con la naturaleza y crear conciencia de la interdependencia y la corresponsabilidad a través de la educación ambiental. Este curso tiene como propósito brindar perspectivas, conocimientos y estrategias en torno a la educación ambiental desde una mirada integral, haciendo foco en la biodiversidad. En un tiempo en el que la trama de la vida se encuentra amenazada, reconocemos la importancia de atender a las metas de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ONU, 2015) y proponemos pensar la educación ambiental para la biodiversidad como herramienta de cambio biocultural promoviendo la conservación, la restauración, el uso sustentable y la regeneración de la naturaleza. A su vez, este curso ofrece distintos lineamientos y estrategias pedagógicas para llevar adelante acciones ambientales participativas en diferentes ámbitos y contextos; tejiendo redes, activando alianzas y teniendo como premisa la participación social y la ciudadanía ambiental. Esta propuesta es accesible a todas las personas con inquietudes ambientales, sociales y educativas. Al ser un curso introductorio, no es necesario contar con conocimientos científicos ni saberes específicos avanzados. Por el contrario, se espera contar con una participación amplia y diversa en términos de formación, trayectorias y expectativas de intervención.

Have you ever wondered how playing games can help us to train people, deal with societal challenges or raise awareness of contemporary social issues? In this MOOC you will learn the ins and outs of games that are designed with exactly those purposes in mind: serious games. We will define serious games and discuss the different types that have been developed. We will explain why people like to play them and what impact they may have. State of the art theories from game studies, philosophy and media psychology will be used to help you understand how serious games work and how they appeal to players. The potential impact of gaming is addressed in detail by discussing persuasive games, which aim at changing the player's attitude. Throughout the MOOC, theoretical insights will be illustrated with playful animations and case studies of serious games that are developed by world-class companies in the city of Rotterdam. This MOOC is particularly interesting for you when you are a student considering to study digital media such as serious games, a professional interested in the opportunities these games may create for your organization, or a game developer who wants to know more about the impact serious games can have. Note that this MOOC will not teach you how to design a serious game.

We are presently facing a potential extinction crisis for the order Primates (and many other life forms). In this course we will learn about threats to primate conservation globally. We will be using the, “Primates in Peril: The World’s 25 Most Endangered Primates 2018-2020” by Schwitzer et al. (2019) as a basis for the discussion of global primate populations. We will investigate conservation status, threats to conservations, success and failures within protecting our closest evolutionary cousins.

Developed by the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, Managing Emotions in Times of Uncertainty & Stress will provide participants with the knowledge, skills, and strategies to understand and manage their emotions and those of their students. The 10-hour online course is designed for school staff, including teachers, paraprofessionals, counselors, principals, and non-teaching staff in preK-12 schools.

Are you an educator? Have you ever wanted to understand more about how to design your class to make better use of educational technology – whether fully online or in blended contexts? Would you like to learn from those who have extensive practical experience with online technologies? The Learning to Teach Online (LTTO) MOOC will help you develop a working understanding of successful online teaching strategies that you can apply in your own practice. The course is based upon the multi award winning open educational resource developed by Dr Simon McIntyre and Karin Watson. Integrating online technologies into your teaching can be a challenging prospect, and it can be difficult to know how to approach it effectively for the benefit of both students and yourself. No one knows your own content and teaching strengths better than you, and the “one size fits all” formula doesn’t always suit everyone. No matter what type of technology you are interested in exploring or your level of experience, this course will help you draw on your teaching strengths and find the approach that is right for you, your students and your educational context. This course will guide you through your journey of understanding how online technologies can enhance your course design. You will have the opportunity to develop your understanding of effective online teaching practices and their relationship to the use of different technologies. You will also be encouraged to progressively design and reflect upon your own online learning activity, assessment or resource for use in your own class if you choose to undertake the course assignments.

In the education of children with visual impairment, there is at present a global movement away from segregated special schooling, and towards inclusive neighbourhood schools. Inclusion provides an opportunity for everyone, teachers as well as learners, to become more acquainted about life with visual impairment and to overcome some of the barriers of difference which have existed in the past. But if it is to be successful, teachers and others require key skills and insights in order to create classroom environments which fully accommodate the learning needs of children with visual impairment. In this course, you will discover the visually impaired child by recognizing that there are many different eye conditions and that each affects learning and behavior differently. During the course, we will explore the Expanded Core Curriculum, which is a collection of content areas that teachers integrate into the core curriculum to give visually impaired learners access to knowledge that sighted learners gain through observation. You will also learn how to make your classroom, the content, your teaching, and the assessments accessible through curriculum differentiation strategies. By the end of the course you will have the necessary tools to create empowering classrooms where you can teach children with visual impairment in an inclusive, accessible, and attuned space. You will be able to purchase a Verified Certificate if you wish to show evidence of your achievements, but this is optional, and you may apply for Financial Aid if you are unable to pay the certificate fee.

How do gamers cause things to happen when they hit buttons on their controller? How does the computer keep track of gamer's scores? This class teaches the concepts of nested loops, events, and variables. For each concept, we'll start by helping you connect real-world experiences you are already familiar with to the programming concept you are about to learn. Next, through a cognitively scaffolded process we'll engage you in developing your fluency with problem solving with nested loops, events, and variables in a way that keeps frustration at a minimum. Along the way you will learn about the common challenges or "bugs" students have with these concepts as well as ways to help them find and fix those concepts. You'll also be guided in running classroom discussions to help students develop deeper understanding of these concepts. Finally, you'll learn how to develop low-frustration learning experiences for learning programming via Parsons' Problems., Additionally, you will create an email to either a counselor, administrator or parent organization to help them understand the value of all students taking computer science.

Frontières en tous genres. Un MOOC de géographie politique et culturelle. Ce cours porte sur les frontières qui, à toutes les échelles, séparent ou plutôt produisent des collectifs sociaux. Il s'agira aussi bien des frontières inter-étatiques qui différencient les nations que de la limite entre l'espace domestique et l'espace public, qui met à part les femmes et les hommes. Le cours commence par un module qui pose le cadre théorique; il est assuré par l'ensemble de l'équipe pédagogique. Les modules suivants, chacun assuré par un enseignant différent, portent sur des cas et des thèmes spécifiques. Ils sont riches en exemples et se fondent beaucoup sur le commentaire de documents visuels, de toutes sortes. L'évaluation finale porte sur l'analyse d'un extrait de film. Après avoir suivi ce MOOC, les étudiant.e.s maitriseront les principales théories et concepts de l'approche constructiviste en sciences sociales, et seront à même d'analyser comment, dans diverses situations, l'espace est partie prenante dans la fabrication du même et de l'autre. On leur aura aussi appris par l'exemple différentes méthodes et enjeux de l'analyse de document iconographique en sciences sociales.
