Capacity building for MOOCs in Trinidad and Tobago

COL is supporting the University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT) to strengthen its institutional capacity to design, develop and deliver massive open online courses (MOOCs), particularly in areas that contribute to national development. The three-day workshop Supporting MOOC Development at UTT, held in April 2023, brought 38 of UTT’s faculty and staff together to begin building a series of MOOCs. The first, entitled Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management for Law Enforcement, will be offered in August 2023. Dr Ruby Alleyne, UTT Vice-President for Quality Assurance and Institutional Effectiveness, commented, “Thanks to the lively and engaging workshop sessions, we now have a cadre of faculty and staff who are better placed for a digital future.”
