Course Summary
This MOOC aims to provide students with a critical knowledge concerning the phenomenon of youth bullying. The course focuses on both traditional bullying that usually takes place on school premises and cyberbullying, which occurs via information and communication technologies. With a social-ecological perspective, the first part of the MOOC explores the boundaries of these phenomena, and analyzes the characteristics of youth involved and the social-psychological processes that underlie the different roles youth play in bully-victim-bystander dynamics. The second part of this MOOC covers the prevention and intervention strategies available at the international level.
What will I learn?
Our MOOC will help you answer the following questions:
1. What is bullying? How can I recognize it?
2. How do new information and communication technologies modify traditional bullying behavior? Is ‘virtual’ bullying less ‘real’ than face-to-face bullying?
3. What are the risk factors for (cyber)bullying? And its consequences for youth?
4. What role do the family, school and peers play?
5. How can bullying and cyberbullying be prevented? What can schools, parents, and the society do about them? What really works?
Who is this course for?
The MOOC can be of high interest for people from all over the world and with different backgrounds (e.g. psychology, sociology, educational studies, public health, pediatrics) who wish to expand their knowledge and understanding of bullying among children and youth in a social-ecological perspective.
Given the twofold focus on both research and intervention, the course is also particularly suggested to people actively engaged in children’s and adolescents’ education and well-being (such as, teachers, school counsellors, school nurses, policy makers, etc.).
What do I need to know?
No prior knowledge of psychological concepts is needed, but can be helpful.
Interest in children’s and adolescents’ development, education and well-being is welcome and encouraged.
Course Schedule

Accounting can be considered the language of business. If you are learning accounting for the first time, embracing its foundational concepts may be a challenging process. Mastery of accounting primarily rests in your ability to critically think through and synthesize the information as it applies to a given situation. You should approach the learning of accounting the same way you would approach learning a foreign language; It will take time and practice to ensure you remember the concepts. There are a number of sub-disciplines that fall under the umbrella of “accounting,” but in this course, we will be focused on financial accounting. Accounting as a business discipline can be viewed as a system of compiled data. The word data should not be confused with “information.” In terms of accounting, “data” should be viewed as the raw transactions or business activity that happens within any business entity. For example: Someone uses $30,000 of their savings to start a business. The use of these f…
