The Center for Global Studies (CEG) at the University of Brasília offered this extension course across 16 lectures delivered by invited specialists, grounded in recently published articles, books, and book chapters. The program ran entirely online via Microsoft Teams, from August 23 to December 13, 2024, totaling 60 hours.
How the course worked
The course was delivered entirely at a distance. Lectures were streamed live via Microsoft Teams, then recorded, edited, and made available on YouTube. Within our virtual learning environment, participants engaged in interactive and evaluative activities designed around the lecture content and the academic works that inspired them. Continuous support was provided through online tutoring and formative feedback throughout the program.
Enrollment was free and open to the general public. Participants had two options:
- Enrolling in the full course gave access to all modules, activities, and assessments on Moodle. Those who completed the course with satisfactory performance received a 60-hour University of Brasília extension certificate.
- Enrolling in individual lectures allowed participants to attend specific sessions of interest. Each completed lecture entitled the participant to a 2-hour participation certificate. Registrations for both the full course and individual lectures were processed through University of Brasília’s SIGAA public portal using Gov.Br credentials.
Participants who did not need certificates could also access the lectures directly via the Teams registration link, which was made available on the course page ahead of each session.
