Cibelle Avelino
MOOC Production Coordinator, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland
Cibelle has a background in audiovisual, with several years developing instructional video content for the online university course providers Edx and Coursera. She combines learning strategies with multimedia options and works at the intersection of organizations, teachers, learners and video producers.
She's currently coordinating a Mooc (Massive Online Open Course) which is the result of a partnership between both Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology (ETH Zurich and EPFL) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to develop innovative solutions for a greater impact of humanitarian action called Engineering Humanitarian Action (EHA).
This Mooc is being developed with the aim of helping humanitarian organizations to equip their workforce with a holistic understanding of ICT. Acquiring these skills will allow humanitarians to adapt to new needs, better assess risks and opportunities and to make informed decisions.
