| About The Provider |
Alison is one of the world’s largest free
learning platforms for education and skills training. It is a for-profit social
enterprise dedicated to making it possible for anyone, to study anything,
anywhere, at any time, for free online, at any subject level. Through our
mission we are a catalyst for positive social change, creating opportunity,
prosperity, and equality for everyone. Alison was founded in Galway, Ireland, in 2007
and has grown organically to become a major force in free online education and
skills training. Today, with more than 13 million learners in 195 countries,
Alison is changing how the world learns and up-skills. They are committed to equality and access to
education and skills training irrespective of gender, geography, economic
status or any other barriers that can so often stunt potential. So they offer a
range of free courses that meet the many diverse needs of our learners. The UN
declared in Article 26 of the 1946 Declaration of Human Rights that “Education
shall be free…”. This statement will always inspire us. Alison was founded by Alison CEO, Mike Feerick. Mike is a businessman, but one with a
difference. He believes in social impact, and that you can build a financially
successful business focused on meeting a huge global social need, making
education and skills training more accessible for everyone. He invites anyone
who believes that too, to support the Alison mission.
Alison is free of charge to you. But it’s still
a business – albeit a socially-focused one. We are a social enterprise making
our money through advertising, merchandise, and the sale of Certificates and
Diplomas, should a graduate choose to buy one. |
The way we view the environment has significant implications for how we interact with our landscape and treat it. This course will first discuss the different ways of viewing the environment. You will look into the indigenous people who don't see a separation between themselves and the land. You will then study the three different categories that most perceptions of land fit into. These include worth-ship, worship, and kinship. You will also study the concept of land as a commodity.
Conservation is the management of the biosphere so that it can yield the greatest sustainable benefit to present generations while maintaining its potential to meet the needs of future generations. This course will discuss world conservation, the importance of the environment, and the conflict between land development and conservation. It will also look into the Aboriginal peoples of Australia and their customs, traditions, way of life, and connection to their land.
This second installment of the Outdoor Education series of courses examines the environmental impact of human activity and conservation, environmental management, and sustainable living in the context of aboriginal Australia. Upon the completion of this course you will have gained a much stronger understanding of land management, of the main ways in which land is treated, and of outdoor recreation.
