Designing and Developing an Online Micro-Module on Sustainability for City University
Dec 05, 2014
The Project brief was to develop an online micro-module on sustainable development for all City University London students with content provided by The Centre for Food Policy. The primary learning outcome was to help improve student and staff understanding of the core elements of sustainability, its broad principles and key frameworks. A web based module was developed by the Centre for Human Computer Interaction Design and piloted in November 2009 with 200 undergraduate students at City University London.
