This course is intended to introduce the ideas, concepts, theories and practices that constitute the emerging field of ESD pedagogy enabled through ICT. Within this context, participants will examine the fundamentals of ESD pedagogy and the learning processes aligned with ESD. The issue of how ESD fits into the curriculum and how ICT fits into ESD and vice versa will be further explored. Particular focus will be placed on ESD pedagogical approaches enabled through ICTs that seek to promote learning experiences that are transformative, empowering, and emancipatory. Consistent with this philosophy, pedagogical theories associated with ESD to be explored are: deep learning, problem-based learning, transformational learning, experiential learning, active learning, action learning, participatory learning, inquiry-based learning, service and place-based learning. There will be an attempt to bring a balance between the political dimensions of critical ESD pedagogy (that is often highlighted) with the personal/inner self or the pedagogy of the psyche (that is often ignored). The overriding goal of this course is to help participants design and apply innovative approaches to teaching and learning for sustainability enabled through ICTs.
