PR2 involves the design and development of the NEFELE Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), addressing the needs and challenges identified in PR1. NEFELE’s MOOC, “Promoting students’ career development at school” aims to train teachers in their crucial role of supporting students’ career development. The MOOC Learning contents consist of a) a set of Training Modules based on the theoretical frameworks of career development theories and positive psychology, with practical examples for teachers to foster students career planning in classrooms; b) a Training Module based on NEFELE BOX, which consists of a toolkit based on the Tangible User Interface that the teacher can use with students helping in shaping their future. The MOOC is organized into 5 Modules. The MOOC platform was designed and developed in English, Italian, Greek, Spanish and Dutch. The learning content of the MOOC in English (e.g. open educational resources (OERs), lectures, video scripts, presentations) was collected and developed and the MOOC videos were produced. The learning material consists of modules, which have been translated into all partner languages.
