This module combines existing materials in a new form, including courses offered at the University of Geneva, training already provided in Georgia, selected teaching materials from Caucasus countries, and excerpts from available MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). Module development was coordinated by the University of Geneva in collaboration with partner institutions in the Caucasus for testing and monitoring.
The module consists of two parts. Part One teaches participants to identify and understand key DRM concepts and definitions and comprehend DRM in national and international institutional contexts. Part Two allows students to apply DRM concepts using GIS tools to produce risk maps. While the intended target audience is advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, the distance-learning module is available to a wider audience, including professionals.
