A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the course inventory:
In January 2015 the Sustainability Office completed a thorough analysis of all courses and how much of the course content was related to sustainability. The Office can now conclude which programs already provide a framework for sustainable learning in which the primary and explicit focus is on sustainability and/or on understanding or solving one or more major sustainability challenges. The analysis was also able to identify which courses incorporate a unit or module on sustainability or a sustainability challenge, includes one or more sustainability-focused activities, or integrates sustainability issues throughout the course.
Methodology:
1. Develop a living document in which researchers could integrate findings of sustainability relation or focus.
2. Elaborated the explanation to all researchers on what is the AASHE definition of Sustainability Related or Sustainability Focused.
2a. A sustainability course is a course in which the primary and explicit focus is on sustainability and/or on understanding or solving one or more major sustainability challenges.
2b. A course that includes sustainability is primarily focused on a topic other than sustainability, but incorporates a unit or module on sustainability or a sustainability challenge, includes one or more sustainability-focused activities, or integrates sustainability issues throughout the course.
3. Data collection, input and review for identified sustainable programs-courses.
