A MOOC on straw construction

A Massive Open Online Course is an online learning programme, also known as a MOOC. The UP STRAW partners have written a brand new MOOC, to help you learn more about straw and natural building: "Building for Change - Naturally".

The objective of this MOOC is to increase the skills of professionals in the building sector, within the themes of natural and sustainable building. This free training course enables anyone, familiar with the world of construction, to discover or improve their knowledge of straw building techniques. By registering for the MOOC 'Building for change - Naturally' you will find 6 sequences, each comprising 3 to 4 modules.

At the end of the MOOC, a general test validates the knowledge acquired and provides the learner with a certificate of achievement.

This MOOC is bilingual English/French and the audience for this course is extended to all the partner countries of the UP STRAW project.

The first session of this bilingual French/English MOOC held in October 2020 recorded nearly 4000 registrations, with an overall satisfaction rate of 89%. Design professionals (architects, engineers, etc.) were the most represented professional category (49%), followed by students (15%).

A second session was organised in January 2021 enriched by the remarks and suggestions of the users.
