Welcome to the Open Science MOOC! Here you can find out a little more about us, what we are doing, and why. MOOC traditionally stands for 'Massively Open Online Course'. However, we feel that we are more like a community than a course, so consider the C to stand for that for us. You can learn more about this in an article we published in the [Journal of Collaborative Librarianship](https://digitalcommons.du.edu/collaborativelibrarianship/vol11/iss2/2/).

The content of this MOOC will be distilled into 10 core modules. Each module will comprise a complete range of resources including videos, research articles, dummy datasets and code, as well as tasks to complete as individuals or groups. Certificates are awarded upon completuon of each module. The MOOC is hosted primarily in the Open Source provider [Eliademy](https://eliademy.com/opensciencemooc).

**_Disclaimer_**: We, the contributors, are fully aware that there is no magic one size fits all solution when it comes to implementing Open Science philosophies and best practices, especially when covering all research disciplines. However, we also believe that we should not limit ourselves from the onset, just because pragmatic solutions may not exist today for certain disciplines. We aim to set a highly inclusive standard, fully accepting the risk that for some disciplines this strategy may not be fully appropriate. Through that failure, we hope that you, the course users, will join us as course contributors and help us co-create bespoke solutions to your discipline based on principles of transparency, provenance, reproducibility and reuse of knowledge.
