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

Chapter 1: Introducing peer bullying In this chapter, you will learn what bullying is and how it differs from other types of aggression. Moreover, you will get an overview of the different forms that bullying can take in face-to-face and online interactions.

Chapter 2: A global health perspective Bullying is recognized as a serious problem worldwide. Gain an overview of what International organizations say about it. You will also learn about how it changes during children’s development and about its consequences on youth’s life.

Chapter 3: Individual risk and protective factors Complexity of bullying behavior requires a multidimensional explanation of why it occurs. Gain an overview of the cognitive, emotional, motivational, and moral factors that contribute to explain why some kids bully other kids.

Chapter 4: Bullying as a group phenomenon Bullying dynamics are not limited to the bully-victim dyad. Learn to change your perspective to recognize the role of the whole peer group. You will gain some insight into the different roles peers can play in bullying situations and how the peer group can influence individual behavior.

Chapter 5: How other contexts influence bullying Go even further and learn how bullying is influenced by other social environmental characteristics that lie in different contexts, including classrooms, schools, family, and culture.

Chapters 6 and 7: Preventing and tackling bullying In these two final chapters you will learn what can be done to prevent and tackle bullying. You will learn what an evidence-based intervention is and you will gain an overview of the intervention strategies that can be implemented at different levels, from the broad community to the single individual student. Moreover, some experts from around the world will offer you concrete examples of programs to address bullying and cyberbullying.

Design 1o1 “Redux”

Are you ready?

The Design 1o1 saga is finally back with its special “redux” edition!

A special edition in which we go one step beyond! In fact, in this journey, Stefano Mirti and Anne-Sophie Gauvin are handing over more responsibilities to their students. Our former teachers will keep on producing the course contents (and correct the exams together with the course instructors), while the rest (the scary part) will be run by the Design 1o1 community.

“Design 1o1 Redux” is an introduction to design through 101 exercises. A six-month journey divided into 3 courses “online” here on iversity (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3), one final exhibition / graduation party and an “offline” workshop for which we will go one step beyond.

In short:

Part 1: “Myself” (Nov 2 to Dec 27)

Part 2: “My House” (Jan 04 to Feb 28)

Part 3: “My World” (Feb 29 to Apr 24)

Exhibition / Graduation: In Croatia (Apr 23-24)

Winter camp: In Croatia (Apr 25 to May 1)

Ready for take off?

Here go with the first part of the course: “Myself”.

Design 1o1 Redux Part 1: Myself

Starting from our very own selves, we will collectively observe, translate and communicate many things, in a series of different ways and projects.

As Protagoras once said, “Man is the measure of all things”. It is the main reason we focus on “ourselves” in this first part of Design 1o1 Redux.

To do so, we will work with all kinds of cool apps for phones and tablets (do you have a smartphone or tablet?). We will also share our works with the others on Instagram, using special hashtags.

Indeed, we will explore a new way to learn a new design.

:-)

Course Structure

Our various activities will be divided into 8 weeks:

Week 1: My Body

Week 2: My Mind

Week 3: My Time

Week 4: My Diary

Week 5: My Food

Week 6: My Clothes

Week 7: My Exam

Week 8: My Break

What will I learn?

You will learn to develop some basic design attitudes for better understanding the mechanics of today’s world.

One step at a time, you will learn that “design” is foremost a language.
A language shared, talked and discussed by designers from all over the world.

How does the world look through the special lenses of "design"?

Along the way, you will learn about a considerably high number of things. Starting from your very own selves.

Prior Knowledge

In terms of prior knowledge, there is nothing required.

If you have a lot of prior knowledge, it might make the learning process more difficult, but don’t worry, no one is perfect. If we talk about contemporary “#design”, we are all absolute beginners!

However, in terms of technical equipment, this course is easier to follow via a smartphone or tablet. Of course, you can follow us via a desktop computer... but this is not how we intended the whole thing to be.

:-)

Workload

Between 4 and 7 hours a week.

Everyday, from Monday to Friday, for a total of 6 weeks, you will receive a package via email. Each package will contain a 15-second video to watch (to get you in the proper mood), and a pdf-letter introducing the daily brief (or “homework”) and a series of objects, characters and happenings intertwined with the narrative of the course (to go deeper in the subject at hand).

You will work on your assignment…

Then, once completed, you will upload it to your Instagram account (for the rest of us to see).

Easy as a kiss.

Design 1o1 Redux Part 2: My House

Spaces, furniture, objects, memories... Our houses are composed of fascinating elements. In this part of the Design 1o1 Redux, we will rethink these components in order to design our own “homes”, the places where we live (or, “where the heart is” as Pliny the Elder would say).

Can we trap time into space? How to frame the ordinary? These are some of the many things we will explore!

To do so, we will work with all kinds of cool apps for phones and tablets (do you have a smartphone or tablet?). We will also share our works with the others on Instagram, using special hashtags.

Design 1o1 Redux Part 3: My World

Johan Cruyff, a very famous footballer (and fantastic designer), once said:

“I never practice tricks. I play very simply.
That's what it's all about. Playing simple football is the hardest thing.”

If we think about it, design is everything.
It can be football, but it can also be an object, a building, a game… our lives, our worlds!

In this part of the Design 1o1 Redux, we will go out and “get busy” designing our very own worlds. Something for which we will need to master a high level of simplicity.

We will work with all kinds of cool apps for phones and tablets (do you have a smartphone or tablet?). We will also share our works with the others on Instagram, using special hashtags.

It will benefit disaster managers and practitioners, climate change adaptation professionals, development planners, project implementers and policy makers. The course will be delivered through a series of lectures and case studies, quizzes, peer-reviewed exercises, along with additional study materials provided to the students. Lectures will be available through videos as well as online documents and will be geared for students who may not have access to high speed internet so they can follow the course. Students will be provided the opportunity to enhance their critical thinking through real life and fictitious problem solving exercises. Each week will feature an international expert who will be available to respond to questions and interact with students.

What will I learn?

After completion of the course, the participant will be able to:

• Define basic concepts of disasters, disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and resilience.
• Recognize key linkages between ecosystems, disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.
• Recognize the linkages and overlaps between ecosystem based disaster risk reduction and ecosystem based adaptation.
• Identify various ecosystem based tools in reducing disaster risk and climate change adaptation.

• Apply concepts and tools of ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR) and ecosystem based adaptation (EbA).
• Evaluate costs and benefits of different type of measures for reducing disaster risks.
• Design your own ecosystem-based project for increasing resilience and reducing climate risks.

What do I need to know?

There are no prerequisites, just some willingness to learn about this innovative topic! It is however true that it will help if you have heard about disasters and climate change before starting.

Course Structure

The course is structured in two parts:

The leadership track, which is tailored for busy professionals or students curious about the topic. The leadership track will run three weeks.

The expert track is for professionals and students who seek more in-depth learning and skill development in applying ecosystem-based tools for disaster risk reduction and adaptation. The expert track will run 12 weeks with 3 weeks for the final assignment, peer review process and course wrap-up.

Some FAQs

How much time do I need to put in taking the MOOC?

In total, we estimate that a total of 40-50 hours is needed to complete the MOOC (taking both the Leadership and Expert Tracks), which will also depend on your background and English fluency. The MOOC is roughly equivalent to a 1 –week in-class training course. This estimate is based on completing the video lectures, guest video lectures, reading materials and exercises.
Do I have to be online at specific times?
No. While new modules will be released sequentially on specific dates, you need not come online simultaneously. The lectures are not webcast real-time and you can choose the time you wish to watch them. However, there will be some deadlines for assignments and peer-to-peer reviews.

Will there be exams involved?

The Leadership track has quizzes so you can self-check your knowledge level as you go. This is, however, not a precondition for progressing to the next module. And you may, however, choose to revisit a module if you feel you did do not perform satisfactorily in a module. The Expert track has two short peer-reviewed assignments and one final peer-reviewed exercise where you will be designing your own project! The peer reviewed exercises will provide an environment for interaction between course participants. You are welcome to use any other communication tool to facilitate group assignments.

What are the interactive features in this MOOC?

Iversity has a community discussion forum that will be followed by course instructors and a roster of international “Experts of the week”. The Iversity platform offers all participants the chance to give feedback on the MOOC itself but also to start discussions on any topic related to the MOOC. During the enrolment stage of the MOOC, you will be asked to fill out some basic information about yourself and be invited to actively participate in the community discussion forum. You can also post notices on the MOOC “meeting point” or to join discussions that others have started. There will thus be ample opportunity to connect with other participants for information exchanges

Over the past decade, young people around the globe has faced very different but great challenges: unemployment, skills gap, vocational trainings, outdated educational formats, school-to-work transition etc. Consequently, "empowerment" has become the buzzword in business, evaluation and youth development. Because of its wide use, the word "empowerment" has many different meanings to people. “Discover Yourself: Build a Career and Make an Impact” is an interactive MOOC that will empower youth through a holistic approach on four different skills sets and dimensions:

Chapter 1: Personal Development: What do you love doing?

Chapter 2: Professional Development: What do you do well?

Chapter 3: Community Development: What is the community around you?

Chapter 4: Sustainable Development: What the world needs?

Empowerment is defined as a way to provide tips and opportunities for youth to develop the competencies they need to become successful contributing members of their communities.

The MOOC is part of a youth-strategic partnership project titled “Cease Cowering: Youth Empower Action Here!” (CC: YEAH) supported by the programme Erasmus +. The project is based on partnership between the Association for Education Mladiinfo International from Macedonia, Mladiinfo Slovensko (Slovakia), The Global Experience (Germany) and Iversity (Germany). As a part of the project, the course content was developed, the video shooting was organized in Bratislava, Slovakia and a special brochure containing the materials from the course was produced. The expected project results can be summed up as following:
- Development of an innovative approach in the process of self-learning based on Open Education Resources;
- Enlarged awareness on required skills and competences needed for youth career development;
- Increased soft, entrepreneurial and digital skills of youth through non-formal online education opportunities;
- Created a strategic approach and mutual action on youth development among involved partner organizations.

Who is this course for?

Discover Yourself: Build a Career and Make an Impact will be an inclusive, free and open course for all vision-driven, knowledge-hungry and goal-oriented young individuals. We aim to attract young people aged 18 to 30, from all around the globe who are eager to work on themselves and to grow both personally and professionally. The idea is to provide those interested youth with concrete skills and tools to boost their potentials as well as to bring relevant information to them that will encourage them to undertake concrete activities in the communities where they live. In the same time, we are also targeting youngsters who have fewer opportunities and face economic, social, educational or geographical difficulties and through the MOOC we want to bring them closer to the world of opportunities.

What will I learn?

The whole course content will be organized around 4 chapters devoted on: personal, professional, community and sustainable development.

At the end of the course, you will be able to:

Personal development chapter:

- Discover what your interests, values and personal characteristics are;

- Identify exactly what you want and what you do not want to do.

Professional development chapter:

- Understand the drivers behind your career preferences and choices;

This is an introductory course. Previous knowledge is not required. The course is designed for people interested in building up a career and make an impact.

Course Structure

Chapter 1: Personal Development

Our journey to self-discovery will start from the personal development. In the first chapter, we will give you the overview of your personality and how it could influence your career choice. In the three chapter units, you will identify what the personal values you appreciate the most are and how these values are influencing your choices. Also, you will be guided to discover your personality type and will have a chance to test yourself and find out which personality type you belong to and how you can connect it to your potential career.

Chapter 2: Professional Development

Once you have discovered who actually you really are and what you love doing, it is time to see what kind of career will fit your personality and interests. Your professional self is under huge pressure lately, right? So many trends, reports and statistics show new, undiscovered ways of working and imagining your job of the future. But nothing will ever make sense unless you get to know your professional self and make choices based on your skills, needs and capacities. In this chapter you will be able to walk the thin line between self-discovery and self-creation, while articulating your experience and skills into a successful career plan.

Chapter 3: Community Development

In the Community Development chapter, we will help you discover what and how the empowered YOU can do for your community, for your peers, for your neightbours. In this chapter, we will show you the ways how you can make an impact: as an individual, as part of non formal group, and as a member of an organization. At the end of the chapter, you will be able to identify a project idea, draft a basic proposal and find a suitable programme where you can apply for a project grant for your idea. But first and foremost, you will be inspired to take the community in your hands and move the things forward!

Chapter 4: Sustainable Development

In the last chapter we will take a step back. What is the big picture? What are the challenges in the world today? We will speak about Sustainable Development Goals and discover ways how you can expand your circle of influence. We will finish the course with three elements of sustainable development - the economic, social and environmental. We want to motivate you to take personal social responsibility for your surrounding and for the whole world.

At the end of the course, the students will be able to draft a personal development plan that will present their pathway to their personal, professional, community and sustainable development.

Course Summary

Human rights are a complex issue. Their protection and promotion involve a number of actors: from international organisations to local communities, from governments to civil society. Human rights affect all aspects of our life, as individuals (as women, men, children, refugees, workers…) and as members of a community. This MOOC provides students with critical knowledge concerning the norms, institutions and procedures tasked to promote and protect human rights. Students will acquire the knowledge needed to actively join the global debate on fundamental rights and to avail themselves of the existing legal and institutional tools set up for their implementation. The MOOC introduces to the human rights legal framework in a multi-disciplinary and multi-level perspective, helping students to approach real-life scenarios with competence and cultural and ethical awareness.

What do I learn?

Students are expected to acquire a sound knowledge of the international system of human rights protection, and of the opportunities for human rights promotion and protection that are practically available at the national and local levels. The skills acquired can be preparatory for further specialisation on this subject. Finally, students will be able to apply the acquired knowledge and skills to real scenarios, including in relation to their everyday life.

What do I need to know?

The MOOC is mainly addressed to people from all over the world who have a background in political science, international relations and/or international law. The course, however, includes a general introductory chapter explaining the main issues, concepts and scenarios at stake. For this reason the MOOC is also open to people actively engaged on the ground that do not have a specific academic or educational background.

Course Structure

Chapter 1 - The basics
The Chapter aims to introduce the course and starts addressing (and providing some preliminary answers) some basic questions: What are human rights? Who is involved in their protection? Why are human rights a global priority? How can effectively be protected?

Chapter 2 - The UN and human rights
The focus is on the evolution of the UN commitment in human rights protection based on three pillars: positivisation, monitoring and mainstreaming.

Chapter 3 - The UN human rights machinery
The analysis deals with the UN mechanisms for the protection of human rights at the global level. Special attention will be given to the role of the Human Rights Council and the Universal Periodic Review.

Chapter 4 - The European system for the promotion and protection of human rights
The Chapter starts looking into the promotion and protection of human rights at regional (continental or sub-continental) levels. In particular, the European system will be presented highlighting the respective roles of the European Union, the Council of Europe, and the OSCE and their capacity to interplay and possibly complement each other.

Chapter 5 - Regional systems for the promotion and protection of human rights in Africa, Asia and the Americas
The other regional systems investigated in this chapter are those operating in the framework of regional organisations in the Americas (the Organisation of American States), in Africa (the African Union), in the Arab world (the League of Arab States), as well as in South-East Asia (the ASEAN).

Chapter 6 - Human rights in conflict and post-conflict contexts
The focus shifts to the national level, in particular to situations of armed conflict and to post-conflict scenarios. Issues related to the standards and procedures of International Humanitarian Law and International Criminal Law are also tackled.

Chapter 7 - Human rights promotion and protection at the National and sub-national level
This Chapter addresses a number of issues related to the role of National Human Rights Institutions and other actors involved in human rights policies nationwide and at the local/community levels, such as local governments and municipalities.

Chapter 8 - The driving forces of human rights promotion: the role of civil society
The Chapter focuses on civil society organisations and networks. The analysis looks into the multifaceted strategies carried out by non-state actors, especially in relation to the international instances of human rights protection.

Chapter 9 - Conclusions: perspectives on global human rights
A summary and discussion of the multi-level dimensions of human rights protection dealt with in the previous chapters. This final segment provides some closing critical reflections on the questions set forth in Chapter 1.

Mid –term homework
At the end of chapter 4, the instructions for homework will be released: homework must be submitted by the end of chapter 6 (2 weeks). Homework consists of writing a communication or a petition addressed to one of the monitoring bodies studied in the first four chapters. The aim is to familiarise students with the tools of human rights protection mechanisms. The texts will be evaluated using a peer review methodology.

Final homework
At the end of chapter 8, the instructions for homework will be released: homework must be submitted in 2 weeks. Students will be asked to write, using a simplified form, a project addressing a human rights related issue that is challenging their town, territory, home country and likely to be taken up by governmental or non-governmental agencies.

Within each chapter, the MOOC offers tailored case-studies, interviews with field experts, officers and academics.

Workload

Approximately 4 hours per week for watching video lectures, taking quizzes, completing homework and reading the material provided.

Workers’ Rights are Human Rights. International Labour Standards are designed to provide minimum levels of protection every worker should enjoy. They serve as safeguards against exploitative and dangerous working conditions. Reaffirmed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, fundamental rights and dignity at the workplace are a precondition for building inclusive and sustainable societies. However, making respect for workers’ rights a reality remains a daily struggle for far too many.

This short online course offers a mix of video lectures, readings, discussion questions and self-learning options to provide you with knowledge and practical skills for using International Labour Standards to promote and defend worker’s rights worldwide.

What will I learn

At the end of the course you will understand the concept behind International Labour Standards, as well as their standard setting process at the International Labour Organisation (ILO).

You will have a sound overview on the functioning of the ILO supervisory mechanisms and how you can use them to promote and defend workers’ rights in your country or at the international level. You will also have a good understanding of the fundamentals on Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining, as well as the right to strike as a key element for realising workers’ rights.

What do I need to know?

No prior knowledge is required.

Course Structure

Chapter 1: Introduction to International Labour Standards (ILS)

What is the concept behind International Labour Standards? Which types of International Labour Standards exist and how are they set? Which actors are involved and how are they interlinked? This chapter provides an overview on International Labour Standards and lays the foundation for understanding the standard setting mechanisms at the ILO. In particular, we have a close look at the role of trade unions in setting International Labour Standards.

Chapter 2: Supervision of International Labour Standards (ILS)
This chapter aims at enabling you to understand and use the ILO supervisory mechanisms for the protection of workers’ rights. The elaborate process is illustrated in a concise and hands-on way, and we take you through it step by step. Again, we pay particular attention to what trade unions can do to make effective use of the ILO supervisory mechanisms.

Chapter 3: Freedom of Association, Collective Bargaining and the right to strike
Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining are ‘enabling rights’ at the heart of decent work. But what is the legal concept of Freedom of Association under Convention 87 and what makes it fundamental to the implementation of International Labour Standards? This chapter also provides you with an overview on the current debate on the right to strike as a key element of Freedom of Association.

Kursbeschreibung

Die Deadline für einen wichtigen Auftrag rückt immer näher oder es gilt eine schwierige Pflichtklausur im Studium zu meistern. Eigentlich sollten Sie bereits lernen oder arbeiten, doch jeden Tag schaffen Sie es, sich mit anderen „wichtigen“ Aufgaben wie Putzen oder Internetsurfen zu beschäftigen. Doch die Zeit wird knapper und der Druck immer größer…

Prokrastination oder „Aufschieberitis“ ist ein Alltagsphänomen, das den meisten Menschen bekannt sein dürfte: Unangenehme Tätigkeiten werden lieber erst einmal aufgeschoben, anstatt sie sofort zu erledigen. In acht Wochen vermitteln wir in diesem MOOC die wissenschaftlichen Hintergründe und bieten Unterstützung, das eigene Verhalten zu reflektieren und zu ändern!

Für wen ist dieser Kurs gedacht?

Dieser MOOC richtet sich an Personen, die daran interessiert sind ihre Selbstregulationsfähigkeiten zu verbessern, um sich in Zukunft ein effizienteres Vorgehen in Studium und Beruf zu erarbeiten. Der Kurs zielt nicht nur auf Wissensvermittlung ab, sondern möchte Ihnen auch dabei helfen, Ihr Verhalten zu verändern! Am Ende des Kurses sollten Sie in der Lage sein, diejenigen Strategien in Ihrem Alltag anzuwenden, welche sich für Sie als besonders erfolgsversprechend zeigen.

Was lerne ich in diesem Kurs?

Am Ende des Kurse

- kennen Sie die wichtigsten wissenschaftlichen Hintergründe zum Thema Prokrastination (Modelle & Theorien)

- kennen Sie die Konzepte der Selbstkontrolle und Selbstregulation und können diese voneinander abgrenzen

- sind Sie mit verschiedenen Strategien aus den Bereichen Selbstkontrolle (Planungsfähigkeit, Zielkontrolle, Arbeitsplatzgestaltung, Startkontrolle, Impulskontrolle) und Selbstregulation (Emotionsregulation, Selbstmotivierung, Umgang mit Ablenkungen, Selbstberuhigung und -aktivierung) vertraut und können diese einsetzen

Welche Vorkenntnisse benötige ich?

Keine – Sie sollten aber natürlich schon Probleme mit dem Aufschieben haben und daran etwas ändern wollen! Wenn Sie Fallschirmspringen wollen, besuchen Sie ja auch keinen Kochkurs, oder? ;-) Allerdings sollten Sie eine gewisse Bereitschaft zur Reflexion des eigenen Verhaltens mitbringen, denn nur wenn Sie sich damit auseinandersetzen, werden Sie die Aufschieberitis in den Griff bekommen!

Kurs Struktur

Kapitel 1 Willkommen: Schön, dass Sie mit dabei sind! In der ersten Kurswoche möchten wir Sie mit dem Phänomen der Aufschieberitis vertraut machen. Wir erläutern Ihnen die unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen von Aufschiebeverhalten und geben einen ersten Überblick darüber, was Sie in den kommenden Wochen erwartet. Außerdem haben Sie die Möglichkeit Ihr individuelles Prokrastinationsprofil zu ermitteln.

Kapitel 2 Volition & Motivation: Nach einem ersten Überblick steigen wir nun tiefer in die Theorie zur Prokrastination ein. Welche Modelle, Theorien und Erklärungsansätze gibt es? Ist alles nur eine Frage der Motivation? Außerdem erfahren Sie alles zum Unterschied zwischen Selbstregulation und Selbstkontrolle, denn dieser Logik folgt auch der Aufbau des Trainings.

Kapitel 3 Grundlagen der Selbstkontrolle: Genug mit Theorie, nun geht es in die Praxis und wir beginnen mit den Grundlagen der Selbstkontrolle. Hierbei handelt es sich um grundsätzliche Schritte zur Vorbereitung auf die im nächsten Kapitel folgenden Strategien. Konkret geht es bei den Grundlagen zur Selbstkontrolle um Zeitmanagement und den Umgang mit komplexen Zielen und Aufgaben.

Kapitel 4 Strategien der Selbstkontrolle: Diese Woche steht ganz im Zeichen der Selbstkontrolltechniken. Wir behandeln die Themen Planungsfähigkeit (Gesamtplanung, Tagesplanung, Planung einer Arbeitseinheit), Zielkontrolle (wie behalten Sie das Ziel im Auge), Arbeitsplatzgestaltung, das pünktliche Beginnen sowie die Impulskontrolle.

Kapitel 5 Grundlagen der Selbstregulation: Ebenso wie zuvor bei der Selbstkontrolle wenden wir uns nun zuerst wieder den Grundlagen zu, diesmal jenen der Selbstregulation. Das Stichwort lautet hier "Selbstwahrnehmung", denn bevor wir uns aktiv regulieren, müssen wir zunächst einmal feststellen wie unser aktueller Zustand ist. In diesem Kapitel geht es primär um die Wahrnehmung von Emotionen, Zielen, Motiven und Bedürfnissen.

Kapitel 6 Strategien der Selbstregulation I: Da die Strategien zur Selbstregulation recht umfangreich und etwas komplexer sind, erwarten Sie gleich zwei Kapitel zu diesem Thema. Im ersten Teil erläutern wir Ihnen verschiedene Techniken zur Aufmerksamkeitslenkung bzw. dem Umgang mit Ablenkungen. Außerdem stellen wir Ihnen 7 Strategien zur Selbstmotivierung vor.

Kapitel 7 Strategien der Selbstregulation II: Wie angekündigt nun Teil II mit Strategien zur Emotionsregulation sowie Techniken zu Selbstberuhigung und -aktivierung. Sie erfahren wie Sie mit negativen Emotionen umgehen und was Sie aktiv dagegen tun können wenn Sie entweder zu müde oder zu angespannt für Ihre anstehenden Aufgaben sind. Außerdem möchten wir Ihnen ein paar Tipps zum Umgang mit Erfolg und Misserfolg mit auf den Weg geben.

Kapitel 8 Abschluss: Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Sie haben es geschafft! Schade dass wir uns schon von Ihnen verabschieden müssen. Abschließend haben Sie nun die Möglichkeit, erneut Ihr Prokrastinationsprofil zu erstellen. Nun können Sie anhand Ihrer Werte zu Beginn ermitteln, in welchen Punkten Sie sich verbessert haben oder wo evtl. noch Trainingsbedarf besteht.

Wer 80% der Lehrvideos sowie 80% der Quizzes absolviert, erhält eine kostenfreie Teilnahmebestätigung.

Los derechos de los trabajadores y trabajadoras son derechos humanos. Las Normas Internacionales del Trabajo están diseñadas para ofrecer niveles mínimos de protección de los cuales debería gozar todo trabajador/a. Sirven como salvaguarda frente a la explotación y las condiciones de trabajo peligrosas. Los derechos fundamentales y la dignidad en el trabajo, reafirmados por los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de Naciones Unidas, son una precondición para la creación de sociedades inclusivas y sostenibles. Sin embargo, hacer realidad el respeto de los derechos de los trabajadores, sigue siendo la lucha diaria de muchas personas.

Este breve curso online está compuesto por una combinación de clases en vídeo, textos, preguntas para el debate y opciones de autoaprendizaje con el objetivo de brindarte contenidos y competencias prácticas para el uso de las Normas Internacionales del Trabajo en la promoción y defensa de los derechos de los trabajadores y trabajadoras en todo el mundo.

Qué aprenderé

Al finalizar el curso comprenderás el concepto subyacente a las Normas Internacionales del Trabajo, así como el proceso de elaboración de normas de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT).

Contarás con una visión general sólida sobre el funcionamiento de los mecanismos de control de la OIT y sobre cómo pueden utilizarse para promover y defender los derechos de los trabajadores/as en tu país y a escala internacional. Asimismo tendrás una buena comprensión de los fundamentos de la libertad sindical, la negociación colectiva y el derecho de huelga como elemento clave para hacer cumplir los derechos de los trabajadores.

Estructura del curso

Capítulo 1: Introducción a las Normas Internacionales del Trabajo (NIT)
¿Qué concepto subyace a las Normas internacionales del trabajo? ¿Qué tipo de Normas Internacionales del Trabajo existen y cómo se elaboran? ¿Qué actores participan y cómo se vinculan? Este capítulo ofrece una visión general de las Normas Internacionales del Trabajo y sienta las bases para entender el mecanismo de elaboración de normas de la OIT. A su vez, el capítulo explora el papel de los sindicatos en la elaboración de las Normas Internacionales del Trabajo.

Capítulo 2: Mecanismos de control de las Normas Internacionales del Trabajo (NIT)
Este capítulo pretende ayudarte a entender y emplear los mecanismos de control de la OIT para la protección de los derechos de los y las trabajadores/as. Este proceso complejo se ilustra de forma concisa y práctica, paso a paso. Nuevamente, se presta especial atención al papel que pueden desempeñar los sindicatos a la hora de emplear los mecanismos de control de la OIT de forma efectiva.

Capítulo 3: Libertad sindical, negociación colectiva y derecho a huelga
La libertad sindical y la negociación colectiva son derechos necesarios fundamentales para el trabajo decente. Pero, ¿cuál es el concepto legal de la libertad sindical según el Convenio núm. 87 y por qué es fundamental para la aplicación de las Normas Internacionales del Trabajo? Este capítulo también ofrece una visión general del debate actual sobre el derecho de huelga como elemento fundamental de la libertad sindical.

Les droits des travailleurs sont des droits de l'homme. Les normes internationales du travail visent à prévoir des niveaux minima de protection dont devrait bénéficier chaque travailleur.

Elles servent de garanties contre les conditions de travail dangereuses et relevant de l’exploitation. Réaffirmés par les objectifs des Nations Unies pour le développement durable, les droits fondamentaux et la dignité au travail sont une condition préalable à l'édification de sociétés inclusives et durables.

Course Summary

The course addresses the design and development of Serious Games. Serious Games are games that do not have entertainment as the main purpose but rather an educational, awareness raising, training, advertisement or other “serious” purpose that benefits from the engaging context that games provide to motivate the users. Serious Games have been typically used in education, training, health, defense and other sectors.

MOOC students will go through all the steps of the development of a Serious Educational Game from selecting the idea and binding it with learning goals to the development and testing of the game prototype in an environment that does not require programming skills. The programme of study will allow students to understand the process of idealizing, designing, developing, testing and delivering a game. At the same time, students will benefit from a hands-on experience, working in intercultural and interdisciplinary teams, exploiting the expertise of an international team of participating teachers and industry experts.

What do I learn?

The course objective is to allow students understand the process of idealizing, designing, developing, testing and delivering a serious game.

In the end, students will be able to...

• Understand and comment the main concepts of game culture and digital game theory
• Analyze game taxonomies and identify the specific characteristics of each game type
• Carry out analyses and user tests to understand users’ demands and needs and convert them into serious game requisites (including learning objectives for game-based learning)
• Understand and apply serious game methodologies
• Understand the concepts related to game play, game flow, interactive narratives, storytelling and apply them in practice to develop an addictive game
• List the main tools (game editors) available to develop games and to identify the best one for a specific purpose
• Use a specific game editor to develop a serious game
• Idealize, design, develop, test and deliver a serious game

What do I need to know?

Basic computer and internet skills

Workload

Approximately 5 hours per week for watching video lectures, taking quizzes and completing homework assignments.

Social innovations, i.e. new social practices, are everywhere and largely influence our lives: they change the rules of the game in business, civil society and politics. With social innovations, we can design social practices that are more beneficial, sustainable or just.

But what are social innovations? And what effects can they have? This course is an introduction to the topic. You will gain an overview of what social innovations are, how they function and how they can be developed.

What will I learn?

You will learn what social innovations are and understand how they can help solve societal problems. You will get an overview of important literature and debates on social innovation.

You will also learn and apply methods to develop, implement and scale social innovations. Exercises will allow you to apply the methods, develop your own ideas and gather first-hand experiences.

What do I need to know?

This is an introductory course. Previous knowledge is not required. The course is designed for people interested in understanding and/or designing societal change.

Course Structure

This is a self-paced course. This means that once the course initially begins, you can make your way through the course chapters at your own pace, without time pressure or deadlines.

Chapter 1: A New Innovation Paradigm

In this chapter, you will learn what “social innovation” means. You will get an overview of how social innovations can be developed and implemented. Also, we explain the differences between all the “social” something-concepts like social business, social entrepreneurship, and corporate social responsibilities.

Chapter 2: The Spectrum of Social Innovation

There are different forms and formats of social innovation. Gain an overview of the variety of social innovations in this chapter. Specifically, you learn about social innovations that origin in civil society, business, and the social sector. Moreover, you will learn about cross-sector social innovations.

Chapter 3: Broaden your Horizon: Questioning the Existing and Recognising Challenges

Social innovators see opportunities where others see problems. Learn to change your perspective in order to recognise opportunities to solve societal problems with social innovations.

Chapter 4: Designing and Implementing Social Innovations: Tools

Design Thinking and Lean Start-up will help you to design social innovations together with your (future) beneficiaries. Furthermore, you learn how you can convince others by using effective storytelling.

Chapter 5: Designing and Implementing Social Innovations: Learning from Others

You will learn how others developed and implemented social innovations and how they learned to overcome resistance. Also, you learn about typical mechanisms of social value creation.

Chapter 6: Impact and Vision

In this chapter, you learn how to analyse the impact of social innovations and how you can increase the impact of social innovations using specific strategies of scaling and replication. Also, our experts will provide some suggestions and tips for future social innovators.
