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>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-ctf-list\" data-cvc=\"1\"><div class=\"col-md-12 pt-cv-ctf-column\"><div class=\"pt-cv-custom-fields pt-cv-ctf-co_requisites\"><span class=\"pt-cv-ctf-name\"> Co-Requisites: <\/span><div class=\"pt-cv-ctf-value\"><ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.royalroads.ca\/mais\/eeco500-developing-environmental-understandings\/\">EECO500: Developing Environmental Understandings<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div> \n\n<div class='pt-cv-wrapper'> <div class=\"pt-cv-view pt-cv-collapsible iscvblock iscvreal collapsible layout1\" id=\"pt-cv-view-cq7wjli1\"><div data-id=\"pt-cv-page-1\" class=\"pt-cv-page\" data-cvc=\"3\"><div class=\"panel-group\" id=\"1764683x2d\"><div class=\"panel panel-default pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-1-col\"  data-pid=\"2389\">\r\n<div class=\"panel-heading pt-cv-title\">\r\n    <a class=\"panel-title\" data-toggle=\"cvcollapse\" data-parent=\"#1764683x2d\" data-target=\"#614a8cfkgo\" href='https:\/\/commons.royalroads.ca\/mais\/eeco504-systems-perspectives\/' onclick='event.preventDefault()'>\r\n\t\tEECO504: Systems Perspectives\t<\/a>\r\n\t<span class=\"pull-right clickable panel-collapsed\"><i class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"614a8cfkgo\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \">\r\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"pt-cv-taxoterm above_title\"><a href='https:\/\/commons.royalroads.ca\/mais\/category\/course-level\/advanced\/' title='Advanced' class='pt-cv-tax-advanced'>Advanced<\/a><a href='https:\/\/commons.royalroads.ca\/mais\/category\/area-of-study\/environment-sustainability\/' title='Environment &amp; Sustainability' class='pt-cv-tax-environment-sustainability'>Environment &amp; Sustainability<\/a><a href='https:\/\/commons.royalroads.ca\/mais\/category\/program\/ma-in-environmental-education-and-communication\/' title='MA in Environmental Education and Communication' class='pt-cv-tax-ma-in-environmental-education-and-communication'>MA in Environmental Education and Communication<\/a><a href='https:\/\/commons.royalroads.ca\/mais\/category\/delivery-mode\/online\/' title='Online' class='pt-cv-tax-online'>Online<\/a><a href='https:\/\/commons.royalroads.ca\/mais\/category\/requisites\/stand-alone-course\/' title='Stand-Alone Course' class='pt-cv-tax-stand-alone-course'>Stand-Alone Course<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-content\">\n<p>Explores the value and implications of engaging in systems thinking for environmental education and communication.
