The CCRI is delighted to be hosting Victor Ortiz-Rivera, who arrives from Mexico on 3 November to spend 2 weeks in the Institute.
Victor is currently undertaking an internship in Political Science and Public Administration at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. He also works as a Research Assistant at the Social Research Institute of the same University, where he is involved in helping to organize and deliver the Spanish version of a series of online short courses focusing on different aspects of commons: their management, governance and sustainability. The courses are being delivered jointly by the CCRI and the National Autonomous University of Mexico in both English and Spanish, under the auspices of the International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC).
The courses, which were launched earlier this year, are delivered by allowing students access to a Moodle site, which holds a range of materials (readings, video and audio pods, exercises) and provide discussion-forum space for online learning. Whilst he is here, Victor will be undertaking some Moodle training and distance learning delivery training in connection with these short courses.
