From 21 to 23 October 2026, school teachers, DIET and SCERT faculty,
university professors, and partners from industry and civil society worked
together, both offline and online. Their aim was to build the next set of free
online courses for teachers and students of Uttarakhand on the e-Srijan
platform.
MOOC 4.0 builds on the success of the earlier AI-ICT MOOCs. Those courses
won the SKOCH Award 2026 (Gold, Education) and were featured as a case study in
a UNESCO IITE guide for educators.
Three days, three milestones
- Day 1 – Framework design. We oriented subject
matter experts (SMEs) and reviewers, then designed the common MOOC 4.0
course framework: modules, learning outcomes, activities, assessments and
certification.
- Day 2 – Course distribution and team building.
Experts were matched to courses based on the areas they chose. Every
course got its own team of SMEs and a reviewer.
- Day 3 – Curriculum and final draft. Each team
shared and refined its curriculum. By the closing session, the final draft
of every course was almost complete.
New partners join hands
For the first time, organizations from industry and civil society are
co-creating online courses with SCERT Uttarakhand for the state's teachers and
students.
- Kotak Education Foundation, represented by
Deepak Pathak (Sr. Manager)
- Shine Avi Publication / Myra Care Foundation,
represented by Anita Sharma (Director)
- Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India,
represented by Dhruv Goswami (External Affairs Manager)
Their field experience in teacher development, inclusive education, and road
safety will help keep the courses practical and close to real classrooms.
Eight courses, eight teams
MOOC 4.0 has eight courses. Each has a team of six or seven experts, and every expert works on a course they chose.
Forty-experts and the course coordinator took part in the workshop,
offline at SCERT Uttarakhand and online.
