Education on international development

Should we try to maintain an exhaustive list, on an Appropedia page, or is that already done elsewhere? It would be a huge task.

Face-to-face courses include:

RedR^W's training programs.
International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) (Village Earth) at Colorado State University.[1] Courses include $345 courses with 20 face-to-face hours, and 2 week courses for $1450.
Educational Materials/Programs at NCAT's Smart Communities Network lists courses and materials in Sustainable Development.

Many universities have relevant programs. Notable examples include

Michigan Technological University - Peace Corps Master's International Program in Forestry

Open Educational Resources

Open Educational Resources (OER) is the standard term for educational materials that can be freely accessed and used, either for personal learning or for classes.

For a listing of some relevant material on sustainability and international development, see the Open Educational Resources page.
