USRN Webinar Series #1: USR in Action: Lessons Learned from the MOOC “Introduction to USR”

In February 2021 the University Social Responsibility Network launched a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) about theory and practice in University Social Responsibility. In this webinar, the speakers reflected on some of the lessons learned from the experience of creating this joint MOOC, and look into selected theoretical and practical aspects of the course content – effective institutional policies and practices. The future directions for online training in USR have also been discussed in the session.
