OceanTeacher Global Academy

El curso desarrolla el contexto de las AMP a nivel global, su importancia, su situación para América Latina en el marco de las Metas de Aichi, CDB, Marco de Biodiversidad Post-2020, Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible 13 y 14, y el Decenio Oceánico de las Naciones Unidas. Abarca temáticas sobre biodiversidad (representatividad, conectividad), planificación, manejo, gobernanza, monitoreo, sostenibilidad financiera, efectividad de manejo, cambio climático y desarrollo de actividades sostenibles en AMP. Bajo este contexto, busca se aborda el uso de datos para el diseño y creación de AMP, el monitoreo, y la aplicación de indicadores para medir su gestión; además de la aplicación de nuevas tecnologías para colección y procesamiento de datos.

En el desarrollo del curso, se busca propiciar espacios de retroalimentación con los estudiantes de acuerdo a sus experiencias y capacitación adquirida en temas de conservación y manejo, para promover el uso de información y el desarrollo de metodologías que orienten el manejo efectivo de las AMP en la Región.

O curso pretende aumentar a capacidade dos professores para tomar decisões, bem como comunicar e ensinar, sobre o oceano. Além disso, pretende potenciar o papel dos professores e educadores como multiplicadores desta capacidade, aumentando a capacidade dos seus alunos e comunidades escolares de transformar o conhecimento em efetivas mudanças de atitude. O curso abordará a Literacia do Oceano sob a abordagem multiperspetiva consagrada pela UNESCO e insere-se nos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável 4 (Educação de Qualidade), 6 (Água potável e Saneamento), 12 (Produção e Consumo Sustentáveis), 13 (Ação Climática) e 14 (Proteger a Vida Marinha) da Agenda 2030. O curso fornecerá conhecimentos e ferramentas para a sala de aula que fomentam o pensamento crítico e compreensão sobre o oceano, aumentam a consciência sobre a nossa relação diária com o oceano e os nossos comportamentos que impactam a sustentabilidade do oceano. Pretende-se que as aprendizagens dos formandos sejam transferidas e adaptadas a contextos educativos formais.

We all depend on the ocean, yet Ocean Literacy needs to be further enhanced worldwide. Ocean Literacy (OL) is ‘the understanding of human influence on the ocean and the ocean’s influence on people’. It is not only about increasing awareness on the state of the ocean, but it is also about providing tools and approaches to transform ocean knowledge into actions that promote ocean sustainability.

This is a self-taught course that includes presentations, references and quizzes designed to help learners assess their own learning at regular intervals. In order to successfully complete the course and receive a Certificate, it is a requirement to complete all quizzes ((unlimited attempts allowed).

To enrol, please register on the OceanExpert website (www.oceanexpert.org). Once your OceanExpert account is Approved, you can self-enrol in the course. If you already have an OceanExpert account, you can self-enrol in the course using your OceanExpert user name and password.

The ocean is intrinsically connected to our lives, our coast, our heritage, architecture, and to how our cities are planned. Ocean Literacy (OL) is the understanding of human influence on the ocean and the ocean’s influence on people. 

This course will provide architects, urban planners, marine planners, and designers with an overview of the importance of the ocean and how to consider it when planning and designing. It will showcase examples of how the ocean can be considered in diverse scales, from the design of a small product that can later connect to the ocean with its materials, the design of buildings and infrastructure that interact with the architecture and infrastructure and the overall planning of our cities, which have a deep interaction with our oceanic common systems. This training aims to provide professionals with diverse tools so they can consider sustainable ways to consider the ocean in their decision-making process.

Este curso tiene la finalidad de introducir a la audiencia hacia los conceptos del “El Niño Oscilación Sur (ENOS)”. Se hará énfasis sobre los efectos en sectores de interés público. 

Since 1993 the IOC has conducted training courses on harmful microalgae. The purpose has been to improve the taxonomic and identification skills of the participants for research purposes and for practical monitoring of harmful algal blooms.

From 2006 the IOC training in HAB identification has been offered within a new framework which gives accreditation. The present course includes now a practical exam at the end of the course with an IOC Certificate of Proficiency in Identification of Harmful Algae issued to participants who pass the exam. We know by experience that many of the more than 500 trainees we have had over the years have wished the courses to give accreditation, and in some countries, the IOC courses have become a reference for laboratories to be approved for carrying out regulatory monitoring for harmful microalgae.

The IOC Science and Communication Centre on Harmful Algae, University of Copenhagen, Denmark is organizing the course.
