oncampus integration (not only) via MOOCs
0 likes871 views
This document discusses efforts to provide integration and access to higher education for refugees in Germany through massive open online courses (MOOCs). It notes that over 1 million refugees registered in Germany in 2015 and about 30% of Syrian refugees had a university entrance qualification. Several initiatives were launched including untutored online courses through integration.oncampus.de and a tutored German pronunciation MOOC for Arabic speakers called #deu4arab that had over 2,000 learners. The document emphasizes the need for accessible platforms on mobile devices, multilingual support including Arabic, and hiring Arabic-speaking assistants to help refugees access educational opportunities.
