1 Citizen science

Having considered some aspects of teaching across disciplines and some examples of curricular infusion, this section has a narrower focus, but one which can still be valuable across sectors. You’ll explore how citizen science, or community science, can contribute to addressing climate change through public participation and collaboration in scientific research. You’ll also explore how citizen science can be used within the context of online, blended and technology-enhanced teaching and learning addressing the climate emergency.

Learning about citizen science will help you envisage ways in which the climate emergency can be addressed collaboratively, and may be particularly helpful when designing your learning plan at the end of the course.
