00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Hello 👋 ! Dear friends, this is Amélie.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000
You may be wondering, quite rightly,

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
how your distance learning course is going to work

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
And I'm going to tell you.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
If I were to promise you right now,

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
that this MOOC would require exactly 20 hours of work,

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
I'd be lying to you.

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Because,

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
between someone who works every day on databases,

11
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,000
and someone

12
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
who discovers what a database is during this MOOC

13
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,000
well,

14
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
the starting point will obviously not be the same.

15
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
If you're already familiar with some of the concepts taught here,

16
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,000
such as data,

17
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
databases and queries,

18
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
you'll get through 

19
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
the first few chapters very quickly.

20
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Or if you already contribute 

21
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000
to Wikipedia with an account, 

22
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
you don't need to create a new one either.

23
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,000
The course is 

24
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
scheduled to last around 3 to 4 weeks,

25
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
with 3 to 5 hours 

26
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
of learning per week.

27
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Each chapter is devoted to a particular theme.

28
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
This MOOC is punctuated by

29
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
tests and exercises that will enable you to be assessed.

30
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
And, at the end, to validate what you have learned.

31
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
You will receive a final certificate and,

32
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000
of course, 

33
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,000
our congratulations.

34
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Throughout the course, 

35
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
exercises will help you put your new knowledge into practice.

36
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
And,

37
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
By completing these exercises and 

38
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
passing the MOOC assessments, 

39
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,000
you'll earn badges.

40
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Now that the introductions have been made, 

41
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
you can begin your learning journey.

42
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
The written support 

43
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
that accompanies this video will give you 

44
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
all the details you need 

45
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
to know about how to communicate with the MOOC team.

46
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
It's time to 

47
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
discover the infinite riches of Wikidata!

48
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Good luck!

49
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000
And,

50
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
don't forget that we're here to help you. 🤗
