Explores how personal environmental identities, values, beliefs, feelings and attitudes are formed. Considers how environmental education and communication programs approach building a sense of place and wonder; offer direct experience in the environment; help develop responsible environmental behaviours; and build the capacity to implement meaningful environmental actions that resolve environmental problems and issues. Students examine the historic evolution of environmental education and communications, and various theories of environmental learning and literacy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Explores the intersection of communication and the environment in various mediated and unmediated forms. Introduces a range of significant interpersonal, group\/organizational and mass communication theories to environmental communication. Examines those theories from the context of their practical contributions to environmental communications and our understanding of how we form notions about the environment. Highlights the essential role communication has played in getting us to our current environmental situation and the role communication might play in helping us to change course.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Cultivates increasingly sophisticated understanding of learning processes. The search for meaning through the active elaboration of our meaning system \u2013 one possible definition of learning \u2013 seems to be at the core of being human. As a result of this course, educators will be better able to design effective programs and products. Instructional design will be seen as an intentional process to create learning environments that support effective and efficient learning and instruction appropriate to particular bodies of skill and content and in specific contexts. With support and critique from classmates, students will design or re-design an instructional module they use or plan to use in their environmental education work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
