E-Engaged Learning for Climate Solutions: Linking Undergraduates and international Cornell Climate Change Online Fellows
Abstract: In this presentation, Dr. Krasny will present the framework for the Fellowship and discuss the opportunities and the drawbacks of E-Engaged Learning models. During the Fall Semester, 2019, Dr. Marianne Krasny ran the Cornell Climate Change Online Fellowship concurrently with a hybrid online/in-person undergraduate course called "Climate Solutions." The 35 Fellows hail from over 20 different countries and connect weekly over Zoom and WhatsApp and through small discussion groups. In tandem with the Fellowship, Dr. Krasny and post-doctoral researcher Dr. Xoco Shinbrot ran a three-credit hybrid online/in-person course that engages students in critically assessing the potential effectiveness of a broad spectrum of actions and policies to limit and adapt to climate change. Through engaging in discussion boards and small-group discussions with the Fellows, Cornell students will gain insight into issues of cultural context and scalability in addressing this global problem.
Bio: Marianne Krasny is a Professor and Director of the Civic Ecology Lab in the Department of Natural Resources at Cornell University, specializing in community environmental stewardship and environmental education in urban and other settings in the US and internationally.
