Welcome to Journalism Courses, the trilingual distance learning program of the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas at the University of Texas at Austin Moody College of Communication School of Journalism. Here you will find a variety of training opportunities, from online courses to e-books and guides to help journalists improve their abilities and adapt to the new media ecosystem created by the digital revolution. The Knight Center is the world leader in massive online courses in English, Portuguese and Spanish. We have reached more than 210,000 students with our MOOCs (massive open online courses) from October 2012 to June 2020, but our pioneer distance learning program started in 2003. Read more on our about page.
The Knight Center’s Journalism Courses program offers two kinds of training: Instructor-directed courses that are available during a specific time-frame (usually four to six weeks) and self-directed courses. For the instructor-led courses, students need to register themselves in the courses and then they gain access to the learning materials and can interact with other students and the instructor(s) while the course is taking place.
El nuevo MOOC del Centro Knight, en alianza con la UNESCO, sobre el fenómeno migratorio y la situación de personas refugiadas, migrantes y desplazadas en América Latina y el Caribe, es ofrecido en cuatro módulos semanales desde el 31 de agosto al 27 de septiembre.
