Course Name:<\/b> Understanding Earth Shaping (ETHS101)\n<\/p>\n

Understanding Earth Shaping<\/b> is one micro-course (short course) from a suite of Micro Courses<\/a> developed by the University of Tasmania<\/a>. This micro course, in particular, is part of the The Diploma of Sustainable Living<\/a>. Which is a complete degree you could enrol in if you find yourself wanting to learn more about EarthShaping, Sustainability or the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals<\/a>?\n<\/p>\n

These micro-courses are 1\/3 of an award course (full course) that a traditional student would enrol in at the University of Tasmania. These courses have been designed to allow learners to engage and sample learning from a higher education institution before deciding on their next step. Remembering all learning on OERu is free and assessments are always optional.\n<\/p>\n

In this course, you will explore some of the dilemmas of Earth Shaping through the prisms of science, philosophy and governance.\n<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

What is the course about<\/span><\/h2>\n

More than ever before humans are a force of nature that can reprogram the planet. Understanding our abilities means that we are probably the first-ever species to consider limiting our activities. Overviews in science, philosophy and policies will equip participants to better understand our unique position and impacts as human-Earth shapers.\n<\/p>\n

In this module we question:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  • How will the way humans formulate and apply international and national policies continue to drive change?\n<\/li>\n
  • What are our own values regarding change?\n<\/li>\n
  • How does that colour our perceptions of Earth Shaping? As our planet continues to face rapid changes?\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \nAs Earth Shapers you might enjoy this video as a thought-provoking introduction to our planet and some of the issues we are facing:\n<\/p>\n
