Content is too theoretical and conceptual for me. I would have appreciated more practical examples, testimonials and tips & trics of how to mediate. For example, when workplace and international conflicts and mediation were discussed, this would have been highly beneficial. Secondly, I found the pedagogical approach of this e-learning outdated. What is the benefit of looking at a video of a professor reading text, over reading the text yourself? I would have appreciated much more dynamic ways to bring the content: examples, testimonials, casestudies and tips with different mediators, more visual videos, etc.

Mediation and Conflict Resolution in international relations is a very vital undertaking because of its supportive nature of economic and social development internally and in regional blocks in the area where the conflict is. It helps curb rampant migration of refugees from war torn countries, restrain coup d’état, promote Democracy through dialogue, builds faction and human better relations, and improves live-hood of people in war torn countries after the war. Therefore, mediation in itself is of an economic value.

The MOOC has taught me new professional skills on how to become a qualified Mediator. I  went through the definition of mediation, the roles and styles of the mediator, the advantages of mediation for the parties involved. I learnt how to get ready as a mediator or as a party, and how to conduct the mediation cycle. AS a mediator, I need to know how to avoid traps because if not avoided; it can jeopardize the whole conflict resolution agenda.

 Then, I had to investigate the usefulness of mediation at workplaces and international conflicts, concrete cases discussed; from Lebanon to Ukraine. All this newly acquired knowledge will help me become better observers of conflict situations and mediation or dialogue processes. And then beyond analysis, this will help me as a mediator help others settle their own dispute.

I give the class 5 stars. Great in-depth discussion on mediation and conflict resolution. I immediately begin using some of the things I learned in small conflicts that I have been dealing with just to put in practice what I learned. Loved it.

Would say, the process of getting reviews in a timely way may need to be readdressed. I have completed all coursework, yet cannot receive a completion or certificate because still waiting for others to review. So perhaps revisiting that part of the class may be needed; requiring a lesser number of review, for example.

This course along with all the others of the specialization has been a very good experience. It's given me some important skills and I also wanted to learn about new ways to apply my cross-cultural competencies, knowledge, and skills. This specialization has been phenomenal for me.

The videos are not long and drawn out, it is perfect timing. It required you to pay attention to what is being conveyed because all the answer for the quizzes are said by the lecturers in their presentation.
