There are already several MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) available online dealing with the subject of (drinking) water treatment. The PURE-H2O project will create it’s own MOOC which will be available from the project website. MOOCs can be engaged with in several ways (individual modus or group modus, synchronous or asynchronous). Most of them can be done at one’s own pace and in one’s own time.
