Welcome to the MOOC Introduction to Citizen Science

Section outline

    • Dear participants,

      Welcome to the MOOC Introduction to Citizen Science.

      This course aims to provide introductory knowledge and skills on a broad range of perspectives on Citizen Science.
      Unistra (OPUS department), KIT (ITAS department), and UHA jointly offer this course.

      Learning outcomes : This MOOC is primarily designed to give PhD students a foundational understanding of Citizen Science. By the end of the course, learners will not only be able to explain the concept of Citizen Science, but will also have practical tools to design a basic Citizen Science project.

      Additional information: Before starting the first module, you will be invited to answer a short quiz to test your prior knowledge of Citizen Science. At the end of the MOOC, there will be a final assessment. You will have up to three attempts to complete it. Achieving at least 80% correct answers will grant a certificate indicating a basic understanding of the Citizen Science conceptual framework and project design. This course is graded on a pass/fail basis.
