There is
strong support regarding environmental issues such as land
use, although it may be the lack of knowledge on these issues
that are holding people back from being able to take effective
actions towards sustainable land use. The development of
an on-line course in land use environmental education will
introduce and familiarize current and aspiring educators with
the concepts, issues, ideas, and available resources relating
to the topic of land use and have them be able to use, adapt
and create activities/lessons for specific land use topics and
materials. This online course can help educators see the
interdisciplinary nature of land use environmental education
and show them how to infuse land use into school programs.
Providing educators this opportunity to receive training
through distance learning will increase the ability of the
university to reach a larger audience and therefore could
improve the number of educators learning and providing land
use lessons. Also, the development of the CLUSTER Course
will provide educators and students the flexibility to do the
course at their own time, pace and place. This on-line course
will provide complete lessons that will allow the educators to
learn the lessons in depth with built in notes, tips, quick
references, links, and simulations with exercises and practice
files that will increase the retention, the level of
involvement and keep the materials fresh. The Center for Land
Use Education will strive to make distance education relevant
and interactive, so that educators want to continue learning.
Also, the program will be designed to make the learning
convenient and fun. This course will be offered through
the University of Stevens Point for graduate or continuing
education credits. |
