MOOCs

This MOOC explores reputation management by examining and learning from one of the most high-profile data privacy cases of recent years. It is based on an academic case study that examines the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica relationship. Participants explore and analyse the 2018 reputation crisis: how it was handled by Facebook, and the ongoing public and internal debate about Facebook’s stance. It also prompts participants to identify potential future routes for Facebook by applying frameworks and theoretical knowledge.

Participants explore the case from different angles of reputation and its key drivers, such as governance, leadership, corporate culture, whistleblowing, and citizenship, as well as reputation as a whole. The online course delivers learning materials in the form of videos, exercises, and assignments, and participants’ work will be graded. 

In this MOOC you will learn about the colorful and diverse international security landscape, and gain insights into challenging topics including open source intelligence, serious organised crime and illicit trade. This seven-week course was developed as part of an Erasmus+ EU funded project in which multiple European partner organisations participated (more information about this project can be found here). We recorded the videos for this MOOC at different locations in Europe in order to provide you with an insight into the original environment of these contributing partners.

Land degradation caused by human activities is undermining the well-being of two-fifths of humanity, driving species extinctions and intensifying climate change. But there’s a huge potential for restoring landscapes: around two billion hectares of land – about two times the size of China – can be restored. This eight-week programme covers the process, from ideation to the successful implementation of a new sustainable business model with four returns: return of natural capital, return of social capital, return of inspiration and return of financial capital.

Is sustainable development relevant for every business? For example, can every kind of business or organisation do something to counter climate change, or help to create a global culture for sustainable business? The answer to both questions is ‘yes’.

The financial sector has the ability to shift its approach, so we can benefit from a healthy planet and a sustainable economy – now and in the future. But how can we build an economy that works for all? How do we transition to sustainable business models without the loss of financial return?  And why is it necessary?

Finance has long been seen as an obstacle in tackling the world’s challenges. But in this MOOC, you will learn how finance can be used to better the world. The future is not about money, it is about value creation.
