This "Summer MOOCs" subsite is not operational

**Welcome to our central "switchboard" - the information page for the Summer MOOCs programme and associated systems and activities**

It was the central switchboard/entrance hall for all aspects of the Summer MOOCs programme.

Main courses

In summer 2021 we offered five MOOC courses, any or all of which students could take in self-study mode.

All were available online during the period 12 June - 30 July 2021 and all the content pages were openly viewable but to get full access to the interactive and collaborative features students needed a Canvas login.

As an exceptional situation we maintained free access for all registered users for another few weeks, until 28 August - in particular so that we could collect student feedback and keep students posted on developments with Certificates and the next versions of courses.

Some access was available to a few courses till mid or late September 2021 , depending on the plans of the content developers.

None of the courses are available to students from 1 October 2021.

However, this Information Page remains available

The courses were:

UWI Developing Business Strategy
UWI Leading Virtual Teams: open version
UWI Strategic Cybersecurity: an international open approach
UWI Canvas Course Design and Development 2021
UWI Canvas Course Management & Facilitation 2021

All these courses were available to existing staff and adjuncts on the UWI Open Campus Canvas system as well as t o hundreds of students.

Support courses

In addition to the five courses above, there were currently two support courses:

UWI Canvas for Students. This was a brief introduction to the Canvas LMS from the student point of view.
UWI Passport to Canvas. This was adapted from a new course by Instructure giving a really thorough overview of Canvas from the student point of view.

Discussions

There were many discussions but none are available now - all were limited to registered Canvas users.

What's happening after Summer MOOCs closes?

Unfortunately it was not possible to offer these course again on a UWI Canvas site in 2022. Revised versions of some of the courses are likely to appear on Canvas or Moodle sites in 2023.
