The BUP Course Platform now offers a new free massive open online course (MOOC). The course 'Introduction to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)' is now open for enrolment.
All courses on the BUP Course Platform can be accessed independent of time and place, as full distance courses. Anyone is able to take a course whenever, as a self-paced learning course. For the new course, contributions have been made by colleagues from Åbo Akademi University, Uppsala University, Wageningen University, University of Helsinki, and Kaunas University of Technology.
All courses on the BUP Course Platform are developed by colleagues who work in the BUP working model, which means to work in inter disciplinary and intercultural teams of co-operation. Colleagues contribute with their knowledge and experiences in developing the course materials. This way of working offers opportunities to learn from each other and different perspectives as well as different academic cultures.
The course Introduction to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) consists of four parts:
- Introduction and background
- Transformative learning and learning for change
- ESD and sustainability competencies
- ESD in practice
Each of the chapters ends with a quiz.
