Abstract(s)
The Bee health field tool (related with the most important and actual technical constraint in beekeeping are
the technical features related with bee diseases and nutrition) was developed in a format that can be easily
used in the field by all beekeepers, independent of their background, using an innovative learning strategy -
gamification – that provides an effective, informal learning environment, and helps learners practice real-life
situations and challenges in a safe environment.
The Bee health field is part of the contents of the MOOC course curriculum allowing to achieve a training skill
and specialization in bee health and nutrition. The expected impact is related with the possibility of enabling
beekeepers to acquire the best and innovative beekeeping techniques and skills in this area of the production
itinerary. This knowledge and skills are essential for the professionalization of beekeepers as the survival of the
bees is compromised by the pressures related with these issues. Furthermore, the Bee health is the main factor for improving the beekeeping performance and for increasing the production and quality of the bee products in order to achieve adequate economic profits. It is also expected to have an impact in the active learning sector, by the development and use of gamifications as training tool.
