Summary:

The clear goal is to develop seven new MOOCs that progress from SD methodology to sustainability oriented applications. As a preparation for the project, two additional Canvas MOOCs are already finished. One of them serves as a template for the new MOOCs. The template saves much effort regarding choices of MOOC technologies and pedagogy. It demonstrates feasibility, and it ensures a familiar environment for recurring students. Teams are established for production and quality control for each MOOC. The MOOCs benefit from team member research regarding pedagogy, systems methodologies, SDGs, and interactions with decision-makers.
