4. Online Conversations
Conversations aimed to arrange moments of dialogue between Kurdish Universities and European Universities, as well as between Kurdish partners themselves. The online conversations focused on specific sub-topics of each Module, with the scope of answering trainees questions, providing clarifications and deepening cases and real-life examples. These Q&A sessions were scheduled in 3 moments: February 7th 2023, February 23rd 2023 March 7th 2023.
To facilitate the process, Kurdish colleagues at the end of each module collected questions, doubts, and issues on which they would need clarifications.
5. Evaluation
Evaluation questionnaires were delivered at the end of each module. In addition, a general evaluation of the course is carried out to investigate the capacity of the MOOC to contribute to the project objectives and the sustainability plans of Kurdish universities for the training.
