Time: 15:10 - 15:30

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and variations of them have changed education both in the corporate and in the academic world. Springer Nature aims to innovate also taking advantage of MOOCs both for internal education and for external training as well, using a large variety of platforms, and offering content at different levels (from students to researchers to professionals) in different forms. Examples of some interesting initiatives will be mentioned.  

During this session we will also focus on the presentation of a unique publishing project, born in cooperation with Federica Web Learning, one of the largest European provider of open access multimedia courses developed by the outstanding Italian University of Naples Federico II. This project consists of an editorial cooperation concerning the MOOCs in the English language developed by Federica Weblearning, that will promote international authorship, topical coverage, and dissemination to a global readership of scholars, students, researchers, professionals and policymakers.
