Abstract

The CABARET (Capacity Building in Asia for Resilience EducaTion) Project is funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ program, to foster regional cooperation for more effective multihazard early warnings and increased disaster resilience among coastal communities. The goal of the Project is to strengthen the evidence-base in support of the implementation of the new framework. The participants constructed of a consortium of 14 European and Asian higher education institutions from nine countries - four from Europe and five from Asia. The Project covers three years period and intend many meetings among participants for data and knowledge exchange. The MGU (Mining and Geology University, Sofia, Bulgaria) and MNU (Maldives National University, Male, Maldives) participations are active as co-chairs of the WP7 – “Learning and teaching tools methodologies and approaches to the MHEW (Multihazards Early Warning Systems)” and sustainable development of the resilience. The progress and achievements of the WP7 co-chaired by MGU and MNU are presented and the developments of MOOC’s (Major Online Open Courses) are under discussion. The new concept about the Educational Platform targeted to the wider audience is proposed. In conclusion several topics are underlined:  The international bilateral cooperation between MGU and MNU is established in the frame of the co-chairmanship of the WP7 – CABARET Project.  Project is displayed including educational platform development and MOOC’s skeleton and schedule.  First results of MOOC’s are available. Educational platform includes curriculum of Philippines for De La Sale University (DLSU) and Ateneo De Manila University (ADMU).  New concept for further development of the structure of the Educational Platform of the CABARET Projects is proposed. Intended international cooperation among participants of the Project is an essential topic for the coastal resilience educational platform development. Keywords: Educational Platform, new concept, hazards, warnings.

Highlights

  • One of the most important packages due to the deliverables listed in the Project targeted to all participants is the WP7 entitled “Learning and teaching tools methodologies and approaches” for the multihazards early warning systems and their applications [1]

  • The intended Educational Platform (EP), MOOCs (Major Online Open Courses), technical manuals and brochures, together with the use of the Internet abilities for distant education are the modern tools for Higher Educational Institutions (HEI’s) and their high effective performance of the knowledge for real practical purposes could be the most useful outputs [2]

  • There some links to other materials could be incorporated for students who like to extend their knowledge about different topics of this issue, because the Platform is targeted to the students of Maldivian National University (MNU)

Summary

INTRODUCTION

One of the most important packages due to the deliverables listed in the Project targeted to all participants is the WP7 entitled “Learning and teaching tools methodologies and approaches” for the multihazards early warning systems and their applications [1]. The intended Educational Platform (EP), MOOCs (Major Online Open Courses), technical manuals and brochures, together with the use of the Internet abilities for distant education are the modern tools for Higher Educational Institutions (HEI’s) and their high effective performance of the knowledge for real practical purposes could be the most useful outputs [2]. Have been performed and executed following the research program and the practical applications [3, 4, 5]. The part of MOOC’s is good to follow the Curriculum of Maldives education course (undergraduate level). There some links to other materials (such like larger and deeper content about Multihazards, MHEWS, case studies etc.) could be incorporated for students who like to extend their knowledge about different topics of this issue, because the Platform is targeted to the students of MNU
