Abstract
- Due to the lack of European Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in the field of the Toxicology and the major differences in the styles of teaching and learning of this important subject in amongst various European life science-oriented institutions, the European Erasmus+ project “Learning Toxicology through Open Educational Resources (TOX-OER)” was developed and implemented. Considering the complexity and heterogeneity of the toxicology field, the TOX-OER project main objective was to develop and share toxicology-related knowledge and skills among students/ earners from seven countries, which promote the internationalization of Higher Education Institutions in Europe but also in countries from other continents. The project was coordinated by Universidad de Salamanca (Spain), and the partners were: Space Research and Technology Institute (Bulgaria), Univerzita Karlova V Praze (Czech Republic), South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Finland), Università di Bologna (Italy), Universidade do Porto (Portugal) and Universitatea Transilvania din Brasov (Romania). One of the goals/ objectives of the project is the dissemination, popularizing the information and reaching potentially interested people who can benefit from the offered courses. The aim of this paper is to present and analyze part of the TOX-OER’s outcomes developed by the project’s partnership, especially the modules/ topics related to the drugs, gaseous and persistent organic pollutants, as the principal groups of xenobiotics.
