Evaluation: Online course on climate change

November 2015 marked the launch of a new interdisciplinary MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) with the topic “climate change and its consequences”. This free E-learning-offer was provided in the run up to the Paris Climate Change Conference by the WWF Germany and the Deutsches Klima Konsortium (DKK). German climatology experts inform participants of the MOOC about the current status of climate sciences. The project aimed to inform students, teachers and others wishing to learn information necessary to understand the negotiations that took place in Paris. The centerpiece of the evaluation were surveys directed at participants that could then rate the online course, interviews with experts as well as discussions in smaller groups to focus on selected questions. The MOOC was funded by the Robert Bosch Stiftung.
