HOPE: E-learning for students
  • Welcome to this draft version of the HOPE e-learning! This e-learning is suitable for all students who want to be introduced to climate change, heat waves, its consequences for older people and effective interventions. We have built this e-learning based on the WHO report on climate change and its consequences.
  • The relevant chapters in line with the goal of this e-learning are rebuilt as a module; these chapters are obligated (‘need to know’). The other chapters of the report can be regarded as facultative (or additional information).  Under each module, you will find references and tasks (nb in this draft not yet ready).

    Heat-related (and thus climate-related) health problems can be addressed at several levels. Also, we distinguish between interventions to overcome acute health problems and interventions aimed at the prevention of health problems. This means that addressing the issue of heat-related health problems is for sure a task and knowledge area for health and social professionals. But to be effective and work on real prevention, housing professionals, urban planners, environmental and climate experts have a profound role to play. At all comes down to transdisciplinary cooperation and mutual understanding of the role each of them can and/or have to play.  

    You can use the material in this e-learning in several ways in order to increase your knowledge and understanding of the possible actions you can undertake from you professional perspective. Either start with the modules and try to make one or more present cases. Or start with one of the cases and use the information in the modules, a database of good practices, narratives of older adults and a database of articles to be able to gather the insights you need to work on these cases.

    After you have studied all modules and finished the cases, you will finalize the e-learning with a multiple choice test and an assignment (but this will only be at the final version!!!). For now, dear colleagues of HOPE, please make the test and submit your answers, and get your appreciation right away. A confirmation can be downloaded.

    Before you start: please read the instructions underneath (what is a Course, and the Moodle quick start) carefully!

    Good luck!
