"Earthcasts"

Thanks to Anne Marie Dalton in Religious Studies for sharing this fantastic resource with me:
The new Earthcast series are live interactive web events from sustainability experts. Each month Earthscan offers a free one-hour webcast on a different topic: click here to take a look!

The next event will take place tomorrow: October 21, 2010 on the topic of "Sustainability Literate Leadership". If you miss that one, there are many interesting topics coming up in November and December. As well, the previous topics are all archived, including a wide range of youtube videos. These can be useful for both teaching methodologies (e.g. on November 11 there will be a web event on how to talk about climate change) and for course content.

Greening the curriculum

Greening the curriculum can refer to the content of the course but also the delivery of a course regardless of the subject matter. Have you ever considered using an e-textbook perhaps? Or have a paperless course? We will be having a "reusable bag lunch" on Friday, November 5 in Atrium 212 (11:30-12:30), with more information to come in the weeks ahead.
In the meantime, I found this article about a new way to package an electronic textbook from multiple sources that looks very promising. I will personally be looking into this for future courses that I will be teaching!
