Creating sustainable futures/CSF102/2016 Session1
Dear CSF102 participants
Welcome to Session 1 on Understanding the Challenge.
These instructions are for: Monday 22 and Tuesday 23 August 2016.
If you have just joined us, you will find copies of the instructions for the introductory Session on the course site.
Recap
We hope that you found the instructions useful for setting up your learning journal.
By now you should :
- be familiar with the layout of the course site,
- have established your learning journal (and registered the URL if using a blog) and tested a microblog post using WENotes. We harvest these contributions for the Course Feed.
- Completed the optional new OERu participant survey.
This session: Understanding the Challenge
In this session we will explore the impact humans are having on the earth. There is no doubt that social and ecological systems are being damaged by an increasing human population and consumptive behaviours. Let's explore what we are challenged by so we know where we are beginning from to enable positive change.
- Work through the learning materials
- Complete the activities
Need help?
Post your questions using WENotes or the General CSF102 forum. Remember to include the url of the page where you are having problems.
Let's leverage the power of peer-learning by helping each other. If you know the answer to a question, help a friend by responding. Bear in mind that as an international course, your facilitators may be in a different time zone and could be sleeping when you post a question.
Most of all have fun!
Your facilitators
Steve, Simon and Alexa
