Transgender Stigma - Evaluation of Online Course

The course was offered free of charge on Coursera and contained 19 teaching videos (3-7 minutes each), intermittent practice quizzes, and discussion prompts. Employing real voice recordings of transgender children and their caregivers, the videos were designed to elicit empathy and transmit knowledge. Most videos were animated and used a narrative format. 447 participants distributed around the globe completed a survey both prior to and after finishing the course. The survey contained five questions that captured subjects’ levels of transgender stigma. Results of the pre- and post-surveys were then compared.
