Supporting climate action through digital education: new free BOC

The Institute of Educational Technology (IET) at The Open University have recently launched a much-needed free OpenLearn badged open course (BOC) supporting educators across multiple sectors and subjects in addressing the climate emergency in their teaching. The course, 'Supporting climate action through digital education' covers topics including eco-anxiety, climate justice, individual and collaborative climate action, addressing the climate crisis through disciplines such as literature, photography, citizen science and health studies, and ways in which intergenerational dialogue can support radical empathy. 120 students have already enrolled on the course since its launch on 23 January.
