We convened this 7th MOOC course with the background of the previous 6 courses and with very good evaluations by the 2,000 students who have participated in them. The previous two editions of the course, the 5th and 6th, have received a rating of 9.2 and 8.6 out of 10, respectively.
As on previous occasions, the objective of this course is to disseminate the basic principles of sustainable mobility, a management approach to mobility that is so necessary in our cities that are still dominated by the car.
The course is aimed at: Professionals, workers in the mobility sector and citizens with an interest in knowing the principles of how a city should manage its mobility in a sustainable way, that is, in a way compatible with the preservation of health, with social equity, in an economic way and that fight effectively against pollution and climate change.
Methodology. On-line through our e-learning platform (moodle). It includes a series of videoconferences that are detailed later.
The evaluation will be carried out by tests on each topic and there will be a final evaluation consisting of the presentation of a 10-page work on a topic that will be reported at the beginning of the course. It will be mandatory to attend a minimum number of videoconferences or view them later. The videoconferences will be recorded and the students will be able to access them as many times as they wish.
Languages: although the notes will be in Catalan and Spanish, the language of conferences and debates will be Spanish.
Duration: 36 hours.
Calendar: From April 7 to June 22, 2021

Modality 2. In addition to viewing the lessons, it allows the active participation of the student in the videoconferences and the course forum, which gives the right to the evaluation of the student and to receive a diploma of achievement. This method involves a single and modest payment of 40 EUR.
