At the end of this course, you will be able to:
Taxonomy is a fundamental and elementary science. Arthropods and nematodes constitute the majority of species on earth. Being able identify them is thus critical for biodiversity conservation and management.
To respond to these challenges, a high quality training course on methods to identify these organisms is essential, particularly in a context where the teaching of taxonomy in Europe is increasingly limited, endangering the future of taxonomical research and the development of biological control and biodiversity management strategies.
This MOOC (in French and English) will deliver 5 weeks of course material and other pedagogical activities covering the following topics:
This MOOC aims to build knowledge and promote exchanges within an international student community. Through innovative pedagogy, you will valorise your practical and scientific experience with the help of experts, professors and researchers, of Montpellier SupAgro and Agreenium partners.
For the third edition, the MOOC NECTAR invites to a new way to learn. We propose to identify what you want and need to learn and position your knowledge in relation to those that will be brought to you throughout the MOOC.
This reverse pedagogy will allow you to think about your own practices through both theoretical inputs and knowledge co-construction, where any participant can, from his observations, enrich the community.
During these 5 weeks, you will (i) question how your knowledge can apply to your present, future or past job, (ii) evaluate your progress and (iii) interact with other students on the mobilization of acquired knowledge.
This MOOC is entended for a passionate public, curious about biodiversity, interested in discovering the world of arthropods/nematodes and the bases of their identification, and willing to share knowledge and learn from others.
All professionals seeking to acquire knowledge and skills essential for the development of agroecosystem management strategies addressing current societal challenges such as biodiversity conservation and pesticide-free crop protection.
All students willing to learn the scientific foundations of how to operationalize crop management strategies using less pesticides.
Watch out ! Pre-requisites in biology are required.
The evaluations consist of:
- Self-training quizzes at the beginning of each week that are not graded.
- Quizz exercises at the end of each course and evaluation at the end of the week; if 50% of the questions are answered correctly, a certificate of attendance may be obtained.
- Self-evaluation of your progress, practices, exchanges with others (not graded)
