 MOOCs, or massive open online courses, are gaining attention around the world, partly because they're free and available to large amounts of people, but also because of the innovative learning opportunities they provide in the online space. Here at Curtin, we're proud to be at the forefront of the innovations with our new Business of Mining MOOC. Welcome to the Business of Mining. The project itself is actually a four-week online course which students can come and enroll in for free. You'll find there are four modules which explain the life cycle of a mine and the business processes involved behind it. Within each particular module there's a whole range of different activities that you can do. There are videos from content experts, both from Curtin and external industry experts who've got jobs in the field at the moment, so you can see what it's really like from them. As well as the videos throughout, we've got lots of assessment points, so there's little quizzes to test your knowledge that you're paying attention to what's been said. As well as assessments, there are interactives, which are basically multimedia activities which you can complete, to test what you're learning about. So, you know, you get to decide, okay, you've got your particular company, where do you want to drill? Where do you want to do your core sampling results? Where do you want to, which piece of equipment do you want to use? What transport or infrastructure are you going to set up to make your mine successful? So there's lots of decisions that you have to make to basically run a successful mine. And you'll also find that as you work through the interactives, if you complete them all, they will unlock the scenario. So you can then continue on your game throughout each of the modules. And as you complete each module, you'll actually get a batch. So you're kind of gathering your range of badges throughout the module. And if you complete the entire thing, you'll get your business of mining move batch. The MOOC's aimed at people interested in finding out a bit more about the minerals industry. So perhaps students who are interested in looking for a career at Curtin want to know what to study in geology applied geology applied physics, metals and metallurgy. It might be actual professionals who are already in the minerals industry, but interested in finding out a bit more about the business side of things. It might be people who have got relatives in the industry.
