| 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. |
As everyone moves to online teaching, there is a lot of wondering over what can be done online and how we can do it! Therefore, this course was created as a quick response to the current situation to support teachers in different sectors on how to design the educational process online.
The course consists of only two weeks. In the first week, we are thinking about the tools available to both the teacher and students. Then we talk about what position we are in now. What challenges do teachers and students face when learning online? We also talk about the challenges that learners might face. Finally, we talk about the types of learning that help us design learning experiences that stimulate learning. In the second week, we talk about each type of learning, and how we can design different activities online. The course’s activities will be supported by a live lecture to interact with the course’s team and answer the participants’ questions.
The main objective of this course is to create a community of practitioners so that we support each other in the process of transitioning to teaching online. There are many interactive activities available in the course, so you are expected to do some of them.
