| About The Provider |
Edraak, is a massive open online course (MOOC) platform, that is an initiative of the Queen Rania Foundation (QRF). QRF is determined to ensure that the Arab world is at the forefront of educational innovation. As such, QRF has capitalized on regional Arab talent to leverage technology developed by the Harvard-MIT consortium, edX, to create the first non-profit Arabic MOOC platform. The new MOOC platform will present the Arab world with unique and vital opportunities that can be part of a necessary revolution in education and learning. First, the platform will broadcast the best Arab professors to the region, offering original Arabic courses - developed by QRF - to further enrich Arab education. Through its partnership with edX, the platform will also give Arab learners access in Arabic to courses taught and developed at top tier institutions like HarvardX, MITX, and UC BerkelyX. All courses are delivered at no cost to the learner. Second, QRF envisions the use of the platform to showcase Arab role models by broadcasting short online courses by practitioners and professionals from a variety of fields spanning the arts and sciences. Finally, QRF believes that the platform will enable the Arab world to take advantage of the international interest in regional affairs to tell its own story to the world. Arab university professors and regional experts can use the platform to give courses in English about the region and its history. This will serve to inform a global audience that is interested in the region’s development. |
Under the slogan of ‘the stomach is the ‘house of illness’ and diet is the best medicine’, we launch this course to introduce you to the foundations of food science and help you learn about the serious effects of diet-related health problems.
In our societies, we are accustomed to eating food at any time and in any place, without even realizing its impact on our health. We usually tend to switch to healthy eating or “healthy lifestyle” every now and then, especially when we decide to lose weight. Even during that time, many inaccuracies arise in our diet that lead to health problems. .. We bring to you this course to address the relationship between nutrition and health. We will examine the consequences of dietary imbalances and help you understand the significance of carbohydrates, fat, protein and minerals. We will also familiarize you with common food misconceptions to help you better interpret and weigh health and nutrition information in our fast-paced world.
Topics covered include: - Common food misconceptions - Recommended dietary intakes - Sports and nutrition advice - Interviews with experts will be held on topics such as diseases of the digestive system, cardiovascular disease and obesity in children and adults
