Lectures are used to introduce the central theories and concepts relevant to understand managing for sustainability. The lectures also direct students to relevant literature and discuss its application to working in a sustainable way. On-campus classes provide students the opportunity to discuss critical aspects of the content in greater detail and in doing so, further develop their oral communication skills. Online students cover the same content as on-campus students. This unit uses technology enhanced learning (TEL) to enhance the teaching and learning experiences for students. The unit involves a mix of delivery modes, teaching approaches and learning styles, including learning resources accessible via Blackboard and various online activities. Industry relevant guest speakers also deliver practical cases as part of this unit. Assessment methods provide students the opportunity to demonstrate their content knowledge, critical thinking and develop their written communication skills. The sustainability project enables students to apply sustainability concepts in addressing practical issues through critically reviewing the sustainability strategy and practices of a chosen organisation, and making a series of recommendations to improve its existing sustainability strategy and practices.
