I-SET Robotics MOOCs (M1, M2, M3, M4) (Educators of Grade 4-12) Each I-SET Robotics MOOC has 4 units. The units are presented as part of the I-SET Robotics Live Online Learning Sessions, thus M1 is presented in the Basics Session, M2 is presented in the Next Session, M3 is presented in the Strategy session, and M4 is presented in the Advanced session. The FREE MOOCs start annually and remain open until 30 November. The MOOCs focus on the practical implementation of robotics. See joinable sites on MOOC portal: https://mooc.unisa.ac.za/portal I-SET Robotics Short Learning Programmes (Educators of Grade 4-12) I-SET Robotics also presents Short Learning Programmes (SLPs). Registrations open in December for semester 1 (starts January) and June for Semester 2 (starts July). SLPs include a registration fee, assignments, and an examination. The registration form is online.
There are currently 4 SLPs available:
