The launch of the open short courses platform is part of the commemorations of the 69th anniversary of the Federal University of Espírito Santo (Ufes).
Depending on the university, courses are taught in virtual learning environments (Massive Online Courses - MOOC format).
The project coordinator, professor Fabiana Ramos, explains that the tool is yet another way to enhance Ufes' relationship with Brazilian society and with foreigners who are interested in the topics covered by the courses.
“Ufes's free Moocqueca course platform is very beautiful and functional. Anyone from the society can enroll in the courses and, upon completing the proposed activities, receive a certificate. Everything is self-instructional, online and free of charge”, highlights the teacher.
Do not stop now... There's more after the publicity ;)
