A place-based and experiential approach to environmental education is taken in this unit. This will be done in the general context of the Australian environment, significantly utilising the local marine and coastal environment as a basis for teaching and learning. The unit will utilise an experiential education approach (through a school-based learning approach), including extensive fieldwork both on campus and off campus in an exploration of and experience in the local environment. The initial focus will be a personal one moving on to a broader social and ecological focus. -- Course Website
