MOOCs against chronic procrastination

One of the earlier MOOCs was "MOOCs against chronic procrastination". Developed at the Chair of Applied Psychology and in cooperation with the ZML, this course aimed to support participants in overcoming their procrastination behavior. Over the course of ten weeks, this video-based course provided scientific background and practical exercises to help participants reflect on and change their own behavior. KIT's first MOOC was launched on the iversity platform in fall 2014 and was awarded the German Educational Media Prize digita in 2015. The course was also available on OpenCourses KIT and received a great response throughout Germany.

MOOC for WBS teachers

From the 2017/18 school year, the subject "Economics, career and study orientation" was introduced at secondary and comprehensive schools, starting with year 7, in which the perspective of students choosing a career is central. The Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs has offered modular online training so that teachers who teach this subject outside of the classroom or who want to learn the economic basics of the subject have the opportunity to train flexibly in terms of time and location. The ZML developed so-called bMoocs for this purpose. In bMOOCs, the online content was closely coordinated with regional training courses offered in person.

After an introductory week, a guiding perspective is presented each week using videos, quizzes and tasks. Participants can discuss the content in moderated forums.
