Contenuto Image Online, free higher education open to all The University of Trieste expands its digital teaching provision with four MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), university-level courses designed for a broader audience.The University’s MOOCs are part of the ALMA – Digital Education Hub catalogue, which brings together online courses developed by 13 Italian public universities and one AFAM institution (higher education in art, music and dance), with the aim of integrating and enhancing traditional study programmes through flexible and innovative learning methods.The ALMA – Digital Education Hub catalogue enables users to access courses offered by UniTS and all other partner institutions. The courses in the catalogue are:onlinefree of chargeopen to all: students, graduates, professionals and anyone interested in updating or expanding their skills Visit the ALMA – Digital Education Hub catalogue UniTS MOOCsThe links to the courses will be available shortly Doing justice: an introduction to the "restorative" perspective Category: PhilosophyDuration: 15 hoursLanguage: ItalianThe course introduces students and interested members of the public to an understanding of the meaning of “doing justice”. The main social approaches are examined, including commutative justice, distributive justice and retributive justice, as well as the specific features of the “restorative” justice paradigm. The course also explores the principal practices for resolving conflicts and harms associated with restorative justice, with particular reference to the criminal justice context.Author: Giovanni Grandi The meaning of data Category: Data science, statisticsDuration: 18 hoursLanguage: ItalianThe course offers an introductory and interdisciplinary overview of digital data. It addresses the main issues concerning their nature, collection, organisation, analysis and representation, beginning with a reflection on different types of data and measurement processes. The course also introduces the fundamental concepts related to data management through databases and visualisation tools, with particular attention to ethical aspects, personal data protection and the current regulatory framework (GDPR). The aim is to provide participants with conceptual and practical tools to understand and use data correctly, critically and responsibly, also through examples and exercises accessible to a non-specialist audience.Authors: Luca Bortolussi, Adriano Peron, Alejandro Rodriguez Garcia, Alessandro Fabris, Teresa Scantamburlo Introduction to computed tomography Category: PhysicsDuration: 12 hoursLanguage: EnglishThis course provides a comprehensive overview of X-ray computed tomography (CT). It covers the historical development of the technique and its main applications in medicine, research, and industry, introducing the fundamental principles of X-ray interaction with matter, including attenuation and beam hardening. The course describes different CT system configurations—medical CT, microCT, and synchrotron-based systems—and presents the mathematical foundations of image formation through the Radon transform. Both analytical reconstruction methods, such as filtered back-projection, and iterative approaches (e.g. SART, SIRT) are explained. Finally, techniques for interpreting and visualising volumetric data, including tomographic slicing, segmentation, and isosurface rendering, are discussed.Author: Pierre Thibault Oral health, language mediation and migration processes in healthcare Category: Health and medicine, anthropology, translationDuration: 10 hoursLanguage: ItalianThe course addresses the issue of contemporary migration, driven by war, poverty and critical health and political conditions. Particular attention is devoted to the management of healthcare aspects, which cannot be separated from linguistic, cultural and religious dimensions. In this context, the course emphasises the importance of adequate training for healthcare professionals, enabling them to interact appropriately with both the interpreter and the patient, thereby promoting effective and culturally informed communication.Authors: Federico Berton, Caterina Falbo, Roberta Altin, Giuseppe Grimaldi Why choose our MOOCs UniTS MOOCs allow you to:study with maximum flexibility, whenever and wherever you wishaccess a wide range of free learning opportunitiesacquire up-to-date interdisciplinary skillsenhance your personal and professional development DEH ALMA project Image The MOOCs of the University of Trieste are available thanks to the activities developed within the DEH ALMA project (Advanced Learning Multimedia Alliance for Inclusive Academic Innovation), established as part of the Digital Education Hubs funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). The project aims to innovate university teaching through the use of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, and to offer accessible, flexible and engaging digital learning pathways.The DEH ALMA network brings together 13 universities and one AFAM institution (higher education in art, music and dance), with contributions from public administrations, foundations, publishing houses and companies. Together, these partners are building a national ecosystem dedicated to:producing high-quality digital coursestraining lecturers and multimedia laboratory technicianspromoting micro-credentials as a tool for recognising soft skillsintegrating AI into teaching and learning processesWithin the project, the University of Trieste has established a video production centre dedicated to digital teaching, strengthened its internal expertise in instructional design, and developed its first four MOOCs.
