Format
1. Water is a six-week online graduate course with an additional week for assignment completion.
Enrollment is restricted to current or future educators. No prior course in environmental science is
required.
2. Weekly activities involve case studies, scientific essays and textbook readings. These materials are
augmented by data visualizations, interactive simulations, images, videos and links to material on other
websites.
3. Online discussions encourage reflection on course content, support and model the inquiry process,
and sustain interaction between the offering scientists, seminar instructors, and course members.
4. Final projects support the creation on inquiry-based lesson plans focused on a key course
concept that you might incorporate into your teaching practice.
