Over the last year, Isabel C Barrio and David Hik have been developing a short Massive Open Online Course (aka micro-MOOC) on sheep grazing in Iceland. The course, titled Sheep in the Land of Fire and Ice, consists of a series short videos reviewing the history, socioeconomic factors and environmental conditions that have influenced the management of grazing resources in Iceland.
We use Iceland as a case study, to illustrate how land uses can have dramatic influences on the landscape.
This is a short open online course (estimated completion time is around 2 hours) that has been developed in collaboration with the University of Iceland, the Agricultural University of Iceland, the Soil Conservation Service of Iceland and the United Nations University Land Restoration Training Programme. We hope you like it!
