Study Online
The project called Online Development Studies and Research Community (ODSRC) advances the teaching exchange between partner institutes in the Global North and South and integrates alumni into the teaching program.
ZEF/ BIGS-DR and the International Program for Agricultural Development Studies (IPADS) at the University of Tokyo conduct joint online lectures as part of their curricula. Additionally, alumni share their experience with current students in Online-workshops: Overview
The ODSRC- project was funded by DAAD IVAC.
Online Study Modules
The 13 online study modules produced in 2021 are the outcome of joint BIGS-DR and IPADS online lectures. They are interactive asynchronous courses created with iSpring. Future partners will be invited to contribute lectures to the study modules creating a vivid exchange from North to South and South to North. Universities and research institutes interested in cooperation are welcome to contact us. Online modules and workshops are only available for cooperation partners.
The following 3 modules will be available by the end of 2021:
Module 1: Introduction to Development Research
Module 2: Social, Economic and Ecological systems
Module 3: Development research put into practice
Prof. Mathias Becker: "Ecological interactions at field level"
Dr. Juliana Jaramillo: "Entomology and Integrated Pest Management"
Dr. Luna Bharati: "River Basin/Watershed Planning and Management"
Workshops
Alumni and advanced doctoral students offer workshops to support students in their research and in their future career on a peer-to-peer level. The workshops are open to students from all participating partner institutes. They complete the ODSRC online study modules.
The workshops are open for our students and alumni. You can contact us in case you are affiliated with ZEF or its partner institutes and want to participate.
An interview with our alumna and ODSRC workshop lecturer Dr. Bibiana Betancur Corredor can be found in our alumni newsletter from 2021.
