New SDSNedu's online course on Sustainability
18 November 2014

MOOCOn November 17, the Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC) and Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) launched their MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) titled Planetary Boundaries and Human Opportunities. The MOOC will feature lectures from top sustainability scientists, including Johan Rockström, and will run from November 17, 2014 to January 18, 2015.

The course contains eight different modules (one per week), covering key sustainability science topics, such as: the Anthropocene, social-ecological systems thinking, planetary boundaries, and resilience thinking.
The course is structured around a series of pre-recorded lectures, readings, quizzes, activities and an interactive discussion forum. It is designed to be as interactive as possible through online forum discussions with other students and teaching assistants, and gives the chance to ask the top scientists questions through scheduled video “hangouts.”

Each of the eight course components can be completed at a time that is convenient for the student. The material for each week is made available each Monday, and once the material has been opened, it remains open for the duration of the course.

Planetary Boundaries is the third course offered as part of SDSN’s online education initiative, SDSNedu, which launched in September 2014. All SDSNedu courses are free and open to the public.
