Online courses provide an exciting way to reach new audiences because of their global reach and accessible, inclusive learning design and we are working with several colleagues on developing courses to support potential future REF Impact Case Studies.
Longest standing partnerships was with EIT Food, which enabled us to work with UoR experts in Agriculture and Food and Nutritional Sciences to develop a series of courses aimed at consumers which have attracted over 85,000 enrolments . The Online Courses Team led in the design and delivery of these courses, sharing best practice and guidance with UoR colleagues and partners from multiple European Universities and other organisations.
“The University of Reading’s online course team played a pivotal role in shaping the EIT Food MOOC portfolio. With their team of experts, they actively participated in crafting 16 top-tier courses, offering valuable guidance and knowledge throughout the process. Their significant contributions have been instrumental in driving the success of EIT Food’s e-learning initiatives.”
