CORRALES, David Camilo y FIGUEROA, Apolinar. A MOOC for Farmers: Agroclimatic Tools for Crop Protection. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.38, pp.133-146. Epub 27-Nov-2021. ISSN 1692-3324. https://doi.org/10.22395/rium.v20n38a8.
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are a key strategy for digital education. The MOOCs contribute significantly to people’s knowledge about a wide range of topics. Nowadays, several web platforms as Coursera and edX offer MOOCs in different domains, however the platforms mentioned do not offer MOOCs focused on crop management through monitoring of climate elements and factors. In this paper, we present an overview of the MOOC titled: “agroclimatic tools for crop protection” for agricultural-sector Spanish speakers. We show a first MOOC evaluation based on a survey applied to 13 people of rural areas located in Cauca (Colombia) for one video of the “Temperature” MOOC unit. The results indicated that 100 % of the respondents understood clearly the video content and 53, 84 % of the surveyed learners understood all the words used in the video.
