MOOC program with Institut Pasteur

Fondation Ipsen and Institut Pasteur are partners for the development of a training program, through MOOCs, on infectious diseases. A certificate will given to participants after the validation of the final examination.

Fondation Ipsen and the Institut Pasteur give access to high-level scientific online courses to a large audience, throughout the world. To do so, the Institut Pasteur is involved in the development of Massive Open Online courses (MOOCs), on various scientific topics (emerging virus, AIDS, vaccine development, etc.). Our MOOCs are scientific and focus on major biological and public health questions. They are aimed at an audience with a broad scientific background: a bachelor of science is generally recommended to follow our online courses. 

These MOOCs have a very wide and diverse audience, with learners coming from as many as 150 different countries.

 

 

The Institut Pasteur Online Diploma of Infectious Diseases (DNM2IP)

Institut Pasteur creates an Online Diploma of Infectious Diseases (DNM2IP) based on MOOCs.

The goal of this Institut Pasteur Diploma is to enable students, medical doctors, health workers, researchers, and staff of state agencies or NGOs to acquire skills in the field of infectious diseases. The diploma is given to students who have successfully passed the final examination of each of 5 MOOCs of the DNM2IP. MOOCs are rebroadcast every 2 years, each for a period of 6 weeks.

Each of the MOOCs, broadcasted on FUN platform, followed by the candidates includes a Qualifying Path which consists of:

  • video sessions with respective quizzes
  • a final video session that summarizes the entire course
  • slideshows
  • a web forum
  • a weekly quiz
  • some hangouts (live session for answering questions to candidates)

This Qualifying Path is confirmed by an individual online exam, which is graded. If successful on the exam, the candidate receives a certificate issued by the FUN platform.

The DNM2IP MOOCs (video sessions, slideshows, quiz, hangouts and final examination) are most often in English, with English and French subtitles.

For applying to the DNM2IP, candidates have to choose 5 MOOCs in the program out of 15 MOOCs. It is mandatory to choose at least 1 star MOOCs from this program. Broadcasting of each MOOC is done during about 2 months. Each MOOC is rebroadcasted every 2 years.
