Srijana Bajracharya from the Department of Health Promotion and Physical Education presented a paper titled, “Sustainability Education: A Liberal Arts Course Based on Burns Model of Sustainability Pedagogy.” The presentation summarized the development and delivery of the course on sustainability focused on public health perspectives. The course has closely followed Burns model of sustainability education which suggests using not only the Content on sustainability but also using multiple Perspectives and Power relationships through various in-class or outside experiential learning. Included in the discussion was an online version of learning using Voicethread (VT) system in order to humanize the course. A poll on the use of VT forum was taken at the end of the semester from students. The overall response was positive and the results were shared with the participants at the session.
