New MOOC project: MOONLITE
MOONLITE is a new MOOC project coordinated by UNED in Spain which focusses on the use of MOOCs for refugees and migrants. EADTU will contribute to this EU-funded project (2016-2019).MOONLITE aims to strategically utilise existing learning opportunities from MOOCs to build entrepreneurial and language skills in Europe. It specifically focuses on inclusion involving migrants and refugees to upgrade their skills and enabling them to access Higher Education and the job market. It also aims to promote diversity in formal and non-formal education and training.
To this end the partnership develops different interventions at personal, institution and system level i.e.:
- Providing learning opportunities for those learners and refugees
- Develop scenarios for European HEIs for effective educational policies for that target group
- Creating the necessary scale to generate new solutions which would otherwise be out of reach if addressed within a single country.
