3. Description of the learning outcomes to be achieved during online course

Title of Modules

- “Put yourself in the shoes” of people with dementia

- Prevention

- Communicating in daily and community life with people with dementia

- "Inclusive Community Focused on People Living with Dementia"

Acquired knowledge, skills and competencies acquired during the course

The aim of the MOOC is to help the learner discover what dementia is, through the experience of people living with dementia, better recognise their thought, emotions, and behaviours, and recognise the misunderstanding about differences between ageing and dementia.

More specifically the learners will acquire:

- Knowledge about dementia (such as elements of health education about dementia, inclusive communities towards people with dementia, protective factors for the onset and course of the disease, quality of life of people with dementia in private and public environments and examples of inclusive communities towards dementia) is presented in the ppt materials, videos and cartoons produced by the consortium.

- Transversal skills (such as the ability to recognise signs of dementia; communication and relationship skills to interact with people with dementia such as positive and simple language, calm non-verbal communication, empathy as the ability to understand the point of view of the person with dementia) are presented in the ppts, testimonial videos and cartoons produced by the consortium.

- Competencies for the management of adult education to support health education on dementia are mostly declined in the activity materials in which tools for individual and group learning of adults are presented (exercises, games, role-playing, videos produced by the consortium).

4. Assessment and documentation

Person(s) responsible for assessing the learner’s performance

The Move Your Hands for Dementia partnership, as responsible for the creation of the contents of the MOOC, is recognised as the responsible for the assessing of the learner’s performance.

How and when will the assessment be recorded?

The assessment takes place through 2 steps during the course:

· Step 1: after each Module, the learner is asked to take a self-evaluation test on the contents covered in the Module

· Step 2: At the end of the course, the learner has to take an evaluation test on the contents covered throughout the whole MOOC

When the final test is passed, the learner receives a certificate of completion of the Course, recognising the knowledge, skills and competences acquired.
