How to use the MOOC

  1. Skim the learning goals. They tell you what to focus on.
  2. Engage with the content. Read the text, watch the video(s), and follow prompts.
  3. Pause for reflection. Take quick notes (one sentence is often enough).
  4. Do the quiz. Aim for 80% correct. Retake if you want to improve.
  5. Save useful resources. Download checklists or templates you want to reuse in class.
Who it’s for

Who is this MOOC for?

  • Primary and secondary school teachers
  • STEM / STEAM educators
  • Teachers interested in sustainability education
  • Anyone curious about 360° video and VR as classroom tools

Recommended path: Take the modules in order (1 → 5), especially if you are new to 360° media or project‑based learning. If you already know the basics, you can jump to the module you need — just keep Module 5 in mind for design guidelines and examples.

Tip for building momentum

Keep a running “Eco360 notes” document. After each module, write:

  • One idea to try
  • One question you still have
  • One resource you want to reuse in class

How to view 360° content

In Eco360, most immersive content is delivered as 360° videos. You can view them on a computer, phone/tablet, or in a VR headset. The main difference from “flat” video is that you can look around while the video plays.

On a computer (laptop/desktop)

  • Open the video and press Play.
  • Click and drag inside the video to look around (left/right/up/down).
  • For best quality, switch to full screen and choose a higher resolution (if available).

On a phone or tablet

  • Open the video and press Play.
  • Swipe your finger across the screen to change the viewpoint.
  • If supported, you can also move your device (gyroscope) to look around.

In a VR headset (optional)

  • Use the headset’s browser or video app to open the 360° video link.
  • Start seated the first time and keep the first viewing short.
  • Take breaks between clips.

Comfort & safety basics (especially with headsets)

  • Keep sessions short at first (a few minutes), then gradually increase.
  • Prefer steady, mostly stationary videos for beginners.
  • Start seated, take breaks, and stop immediately if anyone feels dizzy or unwell.
  • In a classroom, create a clear “safe zone” so learners don’t bump into each other or furniture.
