Sustainability Communication

Course: Sustainability Communication | OnCourse UB

• Welcome
  • Welcome to the course "Sustainability Communication"!

  • Before starting with the actual course, we'd like to take you on a tour of the course structure and user interface. 

    A word on terminology

    In the videos, you may encounter the terms "lectures" and "episodes". In this course, however, we will refer to them as "chapters" and "lessons". In other words, when you hear "lecture", it means "chapter", and when you hear "episode", it means "lesson" 😉.
    
    Lecture = Chapter
    Episode = Lesson
