How to Participate in the Academic Commons
AASHE's Academic Commons aggregates educating for sustainability materials from across the sustainability community.
Submitting Your Materials
Anyone can participate by providing course materials related to educating for sustainability in higher education. The course material submission includes an open-ended, rich text field for submitters to provide context, information, usage suggestions, and other tips in as much detail as they prefer and attach it to their submission.
Course material file attachments are supported in the following formats:
- Microsoft Word documents
- Microsoft Excel spreadsheets
- Powerpoint presentations
- text files
- OpenOffice Document formats.
Groups
Academic Commons Groups can be established by anyone with an interest in sharing knowledge or resources on a sustainability topic. Groups feature:
- Discussions, available via email in daily digest format
- Directory of members
- Materials contributed to the group
