Project Summary

Wider objective of the BECK project – to upgrade the curricula with 16 new harmonized multidisciplinary adaptive MOOC modules on environmental protection technology in the Russian, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh universities in order to increase their capacity to continually modernise, enhance the quality and relevance of education of students to the global market needs and to ensure international cooperation. Project aims to:1. Upgrade curricula of BSc/specialists, MSc and PhD programmes in Russian, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh universities by adding 16 new multidisciplinary adaptive, recognised and certificated MOOC modules on consumer behavior related to energy efficiency and climate change;2. Transfer European practices in education (learning and teaching tools, methodologies and pedagogical approaches including learning outcomes and ICT-based practices) from participating EU universities to PC universities;3. Assist competence development of teachers within PC universities;4. Develop the Simulated Big Data Interuniversity Networked Affective Educational Centre to encourage use of ICT-based methodologies in education and research;5. Strengthen educational and scientific networking among EU and PC universities in the BECK field. The PC and EU students will profit from high quality international and multidisciplinary modules with real world positioning indicating how to employ theory in the real world. BECK project will offer adaptive certified MOOCs aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the Centre in response to the lack of knowledge in climate change and energy savings across PC countries.Seminars, round tables and national and international conferences will reach PC learners and stakeholders to notify them about the accessibility of BECK modules and the Centre. Associations will participate in this project by transferring their contemporary labor market experiences and assisting with applicable BECK case studies.
