Abstract

Urgency to embed awareness of sustainability principles and practice across society, and need for digital literacy and advocacy for sustainability are
reshaping ESD. These, together with developments in learning and teaching, demand new tools to support implementation of project-based learning and more
interactive approaches. This investigation explores the evolution of susthingsout. com, an online magazine for students, academics and expert practitioners, developed by the University of Worcester. This comprises two parts; the first, a private site specifically for students involved in sustainability learning on-campus; the second, an open-access site developed to deliver sustainability information and good practice across campus, community and not-for-profit and commercial organisations. This paper involves only the private site i.e. the equivalent of an in-house VLE specifically designed to support the teaching of sustainability to multi-disciplinary first and second year undergraduate students.
