Transformative education for sustainability, health and well being: A model of online delivery

Abstract

This chapter offers an account of the development and early days of delivery of an innovative online master's programme in sustainability, health and wellbeing. In particular, the chapter discusses how e-learning programmes may increase access and through the use of a humanistic, transformative learning approach offer profound learning experiences; while having a lesser environmental impact than traditional attendance courses. The chapter describes the design of the programme to facilitate transformative learning; and incorporates reflections from students on how their learning impacts on their perceptions and understanding of sustainability, health and wellbeing and how they foresee this influencing their future practices.
