Frequently Asked Questions

Is this sustainable development course free?

Yes. The course itself is free and open access: all course units, teaching cases, student cases, and course games are available at no cost under a Creative Commons license. For the linked readings, we have done our best to lean on open-access material and provide links to everything, but some readings—certain books and, more rarely, journal articles—are behind publisher paywalls and would need to be purchased or accessed through a library.

Do I need to enroll or create an account?

No. There is no enrollment, registration, or account creation. All course materials are immediately accessible to everyone as a self-guided, open educational resource.

Can I use these materials to teach my own course?

Yes. Instructors are welcome to adapt the course units, teaching cases, student cases, and course games for their own classrooms under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license, free of charge.
