Course Inventory
Institution’s inventory of its continuing education sustainability course offerings and descriptions:
See file attached above - Process:
All Continuing Education credit courses that were associated with diplomas were illiminated from the list of courses. Only non-credit courses that were open to community members were considered for the 2022-2023 year (Fall 2022, Winter, Spring & Summer 2023 Con't Ed. course offerings)
Language courses dominate this list and a representative from the Continuing Education dept. with a sustainability background screened the language course outlines for sustainability content. Non-credit courses with 3 or more SDGs represented in the course were considered sustainability related and any course with 1-2 learning modules representing 3-6 hours of content were considered sustainability inclusive courses. Only course that were offered and that were implemented were considered. One-on-one tutoring was not considered in the list of courses.
Both French, English and Japonese advanced language courses had sustainability content like climate action, water, the environment, environmental problems, and animals as topics within their course structure.
Do the figures reported above cover one, two, or three academic years?:
