Course Overview
Course organization
The MOOC Nature for City LIFE is divided into four themes. Access to the themes will be progressive over the duration of the MOOC with the opening of one new theme per week. Count between 01h30 and 02h of personal work per week. Although it is possible to start the MOOC at any time during the four weeks it is online, it is advisable to respect the planned rhythm of one theme per week in order to avoid a weekly overload of work !
Each theme is divided into 4 training modules. A set of courses will be proposed to you in the form of videos accompanied by comprehension and evaluation quizzes. A set of complementary resources will also be at your disposal to go further on the themes addressed at the conclusion of each module.
All MOOC videos are translated into French, English, Spanish, Italian and German, to activate the subtitles when you watch a video, click on the "CC" button in the toolbar at the bottom of the player.
This initial MOOC Nature for City LIFE course will be deepened by an improvement course that you will be able to follow from 2020.

This multi-partner project, led by the South Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region, aims to develop and enhance the value of nature in cities to strengthen the attractiveness of territories and adapt to climate change by relying on two operational objectives :
