Students will engage in learning experiences via ECU’s LMS as well as additional ECU learning technologies
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 LMS 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.

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry.

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
