Häufig gestellte Fragen
Was ist ein MOOC?
A MOOC is a so-called “Massive Open Online Course”, which is aimed at many participants and is open to all. It is primarily based on videos that are structured and distributed to all interested parties, regardless of time and place. Ideally, such a course brings people together to share ideas and learn together with and from each other.
Was ist der Hintergrund des MOOCs?
Europe is getting older and older. Many baby boomers are retiring soon – and there are many changes ahead. Who will do all the work during the transition period? Women, we hear, are suddenly a ray of hope in the job market. At the same time, they have been neglected all these years. From the age of 45, they were hardly on the shortlist. Many have resigned. That should change now, because there are many opportunities in the technology industry. But new skills need to be developed – and the first step is to build a mindset that sees an opportunity in the digital world of work. This is where we want to start and encourage women to participate in the digital transformation. Constructive, energetic, optimistic. Let’s talk about how we can gain more influence and take the reins ourselves.
Muss ich mich anmelden, um daran teilzunehmen?
Yes, please sign up above. Once registered on our platform, you will quickly have access to more content.
Muss ich für den Kurs etwas zahlen?
No, the MOOC is accessible free of charge.
Wie lange steht der Kurs zur Verfügung?
Our MOOC will be available for at least 2 years starting in May 2023. We will be back with a live performance from the May 2 through June 1, 2023. And provide the offer in German, English and Greek.
Wie geht Ihr mit der europäischen Multisprachlichkeit um?
We use a variety of technological options to break down language barriers. Ultimately, in the MOOC we also sound out which tools are already available to us for this purpose. For example, videoconferencing and LinkedIn offer good technological options for displaying other languages in your own. At least widely used languages are already implemented. Let’s try it out.
Wie entstanden die Bilder?
For this course, we used diverse AI tools to experiment with as well. Most static images are generated using Generative AI. It remains to be seen how the U.S. courts will rule in the pending proceedings with respect to the previous copyrights.
Kann ich nach dem Kurs ein Zertifikat erhalten?
This MOOC is designed without a certificate as it would not be very meaningful. We encourage you to document your own learning somewhere publicly so others can see how you personally reflect on the content. This is much more meaningful than a certificate.
Ich habe nicht viel Zeit. Macht es dennoch Sinn, anzufangen?
We think that the recorded videos alone are inspiring and contribute to general education.
Wie lautet der Hashtag für den MOOC?
Let’s use #witmooc23 on social media. See you there 🙂
