There are 4 modules in this course

Learning is most powerful when learners actively shape the experiences designed for them. Building on the foundations of learner-centered teaching, this course explores approaches that position learners as collaborators, researchers, designers, and changemakers in the educational process.

You will examine participatory action research, youth participatory action research (YPAR), human-centered design, and environmental and holistic educational approaches. Through case studies and practitioner perspectives, you'll learn how educators can partner with learners to co-create meaningful learning experiences that honor learners' voices, experiences, and expertise. By the end of the course, you'll be able to identify strategies for designing educational experiences that are collaborative, responsive, and centered on the needs of learners and communities.

Frequently asked questions

Yes! Although completion of the Coursera course alone is not credit-bearing, it is a required component of a graduate-level Canvas course that can be "stacked" toward advanced credentials such as an academic (transcriptable) graduate certificate or a degree. If you decide to pursue further education, the credits you earn from this course can be applied toward a formal academic program, provided that you meet all the requirements of admission to the certificate or degree.

To access course materials, assignments, and earn a Certificate, you'll need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. Eligible learners may also have the option to start with a Free Trial. Some courses may also offer a Full Course, No Certificate option. This lets you access course materials, submit required assessments, and receive a final grade, but you won't be able to earn or purchase a Certificate.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
