Online learning for sustainability in a post-pandemic world

Die Nachhaltigkeitstage der Uni Graz

What knowledge, competences and skills are required to address current and future challenges? Education is considered to play a key role for achieving sustainable development. But how do we educate young people in order to become more sustainable and can the existing educational system deliver that or does it need transformation? The Covid-19 pandemic has forced teachers and learners around the world to develop new approaches and adapt different habits. Over night, digitalization has entered classrooms and made them, at least temporarily, obsolete. Now it is time to ask, whether we shall go back to traditional routines or accept virtual learning environments as the "new normal". In this online-workshop, we aim to discuss pros and cons to online learning and explore how it can contribute to sustainable development.
