Open Carbon (http://www.opencarbon.com/)
Slogan is, “Open Lectures from Industry Experts. Free of Carbon-Free of Charge.”
Here is the biography of one of the Industry Experts.
Mary Ellen Mika, LEED-AP, C.P.M., is Manager of Environment & Energy within the Steelcase Supply Chain Management department. She leads global sustainability efforts for the department, including “green supplier” programs, assisting with materials chemistry and life cycle analysis efforts, and is responsible for fuel and electricity purchases for Steelcase North America, including renewable energy pursuits. She assists suppliers to Steelcase throughout the world to support efforts to lead the office furniture industry in providing the most sustainable products. She gives presentations on supply chain sustainability issues throughout the world and is currently co-chairing the West Michigan Sustainable Purchasing Consortium. She has a B.S. in Biochemistry, an M.A. in Counseling Psychology and over 20 years of experience in the environmental field.
One of the challenges with the new online Servant Leadership & Global Sustainability course is to demonstrate the advantages of moving beyond Blackboard. The college has little experience in online other than the CMS, Blackboard. The discussion of the integration of a personal leaning environment begins this January with a course launch date in March 2010. An orientation day (hopefully two days) will be held in early January. Part of the orientation will be the demonstration of the integration of CMS and PLE. Viterbo will be contacting members of the Open Carbon team asking them to partner with us with the objective of having them be our Industry Experts for a one-hour lecture/dialogue using Elluminate. Viterbo will also integrate many of the free webinars located on the site. I am uploading one example for your review.
