Atlantic Technological University has launched a new short online course on Ocean Pollution, which seeks to educate and highlight the importance of oceans and the damage that can be caused by the decisions we make. The new MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) explores ocean pollution and through incorporating the seven ocean literacy principles, sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, the course covers several topical areas, such as marine litter. Aiming to provide students with the knowledge and tools to understand the underlying concepts surrounding the different types of ocean pollution, senior lecturer and project lead Róisín Nash says they endeavoured to make the course as engaging as possible, using interactive content, such as quizzes, striking yet informative images, and inviting a variety of guest speakers to talk on different topics. "When we looked at ocean pollution, we found that people are often focused on one element, like plastic pollution, and they invariably forget those 'invisible' pollutants like noise pollution," says Dr Nash. "And it's the combination of all these pollutants that have the ocean in its current state." Alluding to the numerous causes of pollution, from chemical to heavy metal pollution and nutrient to noise pollution, Dr Nash continues: "We start the course by exploring the importance of the ocean and then introduce the learner to the different types of pollution and follow their pathways to the ocean where we illustrated the impacts they were having on the marine environment and its inhabitants." The ocean pollution MOOC aims to educate learners through action-oriented learning, enabling them to apply their knowledge in their own local context, regardless of their professional background or geographical location. Throughout the course, learners are presented with real-life examples and case studies to illustrate the key concepts and principles. While Dr Nash was the project lead, she credits a great deal of the content creation of the MOOC to Dr Haleigh Joyce, a Postdoctoral Researcher in aquatic science and Mal Deegan from MD Productions. In addition, the feedback from Dr João Frias, a senior Researcher, who also involved in the delivery of a guest talk, was invaluable. "Most ocean pollution begins on land and there is where we should look to change our habits in order to mitigate and reduce pollution," says Dr Nash. "Marine pollution is a combination of, for example, chemicals, nutrients and rubbish, which are washed or blown into the ocean most often via our rivers." "We are often focused on one problem, like when we talk about ocean acidification (a reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period of time, caused primarily by uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere), or overfishing when actually we should be focusing on the whole picture, the cumulation of all the different problems associated with the ocean. "Because what's going to happen is we're going to reach a tipping point where an increase in one of the many issues or the addition of a new issue will disrupt the balance in the ocean and result in a major catastrophic event which may not be reversible." Although acknowledging that there are "so many areas to cover under the topic of ocean pollution", Dr Nash believes the MOOC "gives you a flavour of everything" and may encourage learners to delve further into the subject matter to become better informed by reading research papers and reports. "We have provided some additional reading at the end of each week (of the MOOC) if people want to dip into them," she adds. When it came to sourcing case studies and other material, Dr Nash says "it wasn't very hard to look for real life examples, unfortunately", as all too often oil spills, sunken shipping containers, and discarded fishing nets result in untold damage. "While we may only hear of the major events worldwide, it's not an isolated occurrence....

Dans cet épisode, nous recevons Vincent Fargues, l'un des fondateurs de E-théo, un MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) conçu spécialement pour les catholiques. Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas encore E-théo, Vincent en donne une explication détaillée. Ce MOOC pas comme les autres a pour vocation d'annoncer l'Évangile, de proposer des formations courtes et de qualité en ligne. Au niveau des retours, Vincent explique que la qualité professionnelle des vidéos et des contenus fait d'E-théo un outil indispensable pour ceux qui cherchent à approfondir leur foi. Le projet propose une série de parcours diversifiés, abordant des sujets tels que la dignité de la personne, la préférence pour le pauvre, le droit canon, la philosophie, les écritures saintes, la liturgie et la théologie. Vincent parle également de la manière dont les communautés paroissiales peuvent s'impliquer dans ou bénéficier d'E-théo. Que vous soyez un prêtre en paroisse ou dans une fraternité, E-théo offre une riche matière à réflexion et à discussion en groupe. En termes de défis, Vincent mentionne que le plus grand a été de décider de lancer le projet. Cela a inclus la recherche d'investisseurs, de formateurs, et la validation par les évêques. Avant de conclure, Vincent recommande quelques lectures, y compris la Bible et des œuvres de Sylvain Tesson qui s'approchent de la spiritualité. Selon lui, les qualités essentielles pour un leader dans l'enseignement catholique incluent la passion pour l'enseignement, une vocation claire et une vie de prière intérieure. Pour les chefs d'établissement qui souhaitent intégrer E-théo dans leur programme, Vincent conseille simplement d'aller sur la plateforme, de commencer par la formation "comprendre et d'aimer l'Église".

The ultimate goal of MakingComics.com and our website is to provide an extensive educational resource for those that want to, simply put, make comics. These individuals range not just in age, from pre-teens to adults, but also in experience, from those who are just starting out to those that are looking to learn something new to help push their artistic process and ventures to new levels. We even have the testimonials to prove how useful and effective the articles on our site have been to artists. Still, we strive to do more for the artistic community than just post articles online. It's why we have the Underdog community and these Gutter Talk podcasts. Now we have, in conjunction with Coursera and also the High Tech High Graduate School of Education, a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) that is video based in nature. You can find that course by clicking here. In this Gutter Talk episode, Adam sits down with the MakingComics.com enigmatic, benevolent, and oft-times well-dressed leader to discuss the How To Make a Comics MOOC more in depth.
