LUT MOOC free online courses, 2 ECTS
Each Massive Open Online Course, or MOOC, is designed to bring you the latest information on how you can realize your own climate actions, both now and in the future.
Turn climate anxiety into effective climate action.
Learn about the power of our individual choices in building a more sustainable world.
Each course is worth 2 ECTS credits.
The MOOC platform works anytime on mobile and desktop devices.
There is no charge for participating in LUT MOOC courses.
Our first MOOC focusses on solutions in the transport sector with the goals of mitigating climate change, making a transition towards sustainable energy systems, and achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Our second MOOC investigates Power to X processes, which will assist in developing energy systems that meet the needs of future generations, providing sustainable fuels and industrial materials, and ensuring that a growing global population has sufficient food and water.
Our third MOOC addresses issues related to the sustainable design and production of a wide range of goods and services that we need for a safe and comfortable existence. The things we buy have a story to tell us, one that we can control from beginning to end.
I was really excited to continue and go from one topic to another. You can make decisions for climate neutrality with your own actions and you need to think in advance of the outcomes of what you do.
LUT MOOC “Climate Action – Solutions for Carbon Neutral Transport” is now open and running. Enrol yourself to the course on https://mooc.lut.fi/ and start the journey!
No, you don’t have to. You can start the courses any time you want.
The courses will be in English.
Each of the courses can be viewed on a variety of devices, but smaller screens in a vertical orientation will sometimes encounter problems with text and image margins. When this happens, just flip to a horizontal orientation and the issue will be solved.
The MOOC system supports only Latin alphabet, so please write your name using Latin characters. You can update your name information from the Profile menu from the top right of the main page.
The courses won't support the Moodle App, but instead you can use your normal mobile browser.

On the course you need to complete the given course specific criteria to achieve the credits.

The LUT MOOC is a new online learning environment for LUT University’s MOOCs. MOOC stands for massive open online course and refers to courses which can be accessed online by anyone from anywhere in the world.
The first LUT MOOC “Climate Action – Solutions for Carbon Neutral Transport” will be published on 3 August 2020. The course is aimed especially for high school level students, but it is open to anyone. The solution-focused course deals with
the pursuit of carbon neutral transport and is worth 2 ECTS credits. The topic will be approached through three themes: climate change, United Nations sustainable development goals and energy systems.
The course will be in English, and it can be completed independently any time according to your own schedule. The ECTS credits from the course can be included in LUT degrees.
The LUT community shares a certain attitude and state of mind. We do things differently. We look at things from unexpected perspectives, we question, and we search for solutions. We fight for a better world – for all that is good.
We are a community where curious people inspire curious people. The curious dive deep into their passion, and develop their thinking daily. Without curiosity, we cannot change the world. A curious person experiments, fails, and succeeds faster than
others.
We address issues that matter to the world and that others may consider impossible to solve. Our campuses are located in Lappeenranta and Lahti, but our state of mind can be achieved anywhere.
