DELOS DAMAGES MOOC

Do you want to learn or refresh on the basics of damages and valuation, in your own time?
Are you looking for an advanced understanding of damages issues or valuation approaches?
Would you like to test your understanding of these issues, and demonstrate your knowledge with a certificate?

.

If so, then these courses are for you, whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a budding junior, an experienced in-house counsel or a sophisticated arbitrator. The Damages MOOC comprises 5 introductory topics (open to all Delos members – you can sign up for free here), 6 advanced topics (reserved for Delos annual members), and a side topic on working with Excel for lawyers (reserved for Delos monthly and annual members).

The massive open online course (MOOC) model means you can sign up and learn in your own time, self-test with specially designed multiple-choice questions at the end of each topic, and repeat topics as many times as you would like, at any time. Each topic combines substantive content with exercises, case studies and/or a work-through of examples. There is also a glossary, with harmonised definitions across all topics.

You can also get your learning recognised by taking a quiz to test your understanding of the introductory level course (here), and of the advanced level course (here). If you achieve 60% correct answers or more, you will obtain a certificate of completion; otherwise, you can retake the quiz after two weeks, and refresh your understanding in the meantime. There is no limit to how many times you can retake a quiz.

Finally, if you would prefer a more structured environment for your learning, you can apply to participate in the Facilitated Damages MOOC, where seasoned experts will guide you through the courses on the Damages MOOC.

Each topic is taught by leaders in the field, and the faculty is chaired by Roula Harfouche (Independent Expert, London) and James Nicholson (FTI Consulting, Singapore). They further introduce the Damages MOOC in the first topic below.

In time, we will be adding more topics, notably on the legal principles applicable to damages and valuation issues.

We hope you will enjoy this offering and get a lot out of it. If you have questions or feedback, you can reach us at damages-mooc@delosdr.org.
