A MOOC to consolidate knowledge
On 22 November 2021, a new online course made by Inria Learning Lab and dedicated to the ecological footprint of digital technology will open on the Fun MOOC platform.
Class'Codeand Inria have been working together for several years now, co-creating free and open educational resources dedicated to promoting learning about code and computer science. More than 80,000 educators (teachers, facilitators and even parents!) have already benefited from the fruits of this collaboration.
Offered by Inria and Class'Code, under the impetus and with co-financing from the Direction du numérique pour l'éducation (DNE), this MOOC, for which registrations are already open, is aimed at all those who wonder about the environmental impacts of digital technology and who wish to understand the issues and learn to measure, decipher and act, in order to find their place as citizens in a digital world.
Divided into four parts, it will include activities, videos and additional resources designed to make everyone aware of the materiality of virtual worlds and the challenges associated with the rapid development of digital technology.
