D5.3 On-line learning material

Open access remanufacturing company focussed learning and skills development materials will be facilitated by the use of a so called Small Private Online Course (SPOC) which will be developed by TUD, with the assistance of UoS, for the project. Given TUD’s current online course experience it could be expected that a total of 1,500 individuals from target remanufacturing companies would register for the series of SPOC courses in the first 18 months of operation. It is anticipated that the SPOC programme will be developed into a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) after the end of the action, giving access to the training for a much wider European and global audience. This MOOC would run beyond the end of the life of this project and would be open and free to all. The use of a SPOC in this project supports the networking, targeted nature of the links with the remanufacturing companies and provides preparation for more effective remanufacturing engagement. The development of the SPOC will be delivered by M18.
