On Oct. 15, MSU will offer several new courses on the EdCast platform.
Food Fraud Preview
A self-paced learning opportunity that teaches students how to prevent food fraud.

A resource, “hot topic” 12-week course that covers the complex challenges of producing safer food throughout the supply chain on a global basis.
Food Safety
Another resource “hot topic” course that examines what should be taken to handle and preserve food quality.
Urban Agriculture
An 8-week self-paced learning experience increases awareness of metropolitan agriculture and is designed to build a network of collaborators. The course is open to anyone and participants will earn a certificate of completion.
The first course offerings do not have a charge. As things progress, there will be some fees required. “Perhaps certificates or badges,” said Geith. “We may do some exclusive professional development types of programs on the platform. It will be a mix of free and fee experiences.”
