On an Online Course in Development: Intended for individuals concerned with the transformation of society

Thank you, Praveen, for this information. -gw

LazosLearning has partnered with the Foundation for the Application and Teaching of the Sciences (FUNDAEC) in Colombia to offer two of its courses online.

A Discourse on Social Action is a 12-week course that explores a few fundamental concepts that help create a discourse on social action such as the purpose of existence, human nature, and the relationship between the individual and social institutions. The course also emphasizes the importance of language as a tool that permits reflecting on experience in an orderly manner, and seeks to strengthen powers of written and spoken expression.

Constructing a Conceptual Framework for Social Action is a 17-week graduate-level course from FUNDAEC’s Education for Development program. The course explores a framework within which an individual concerned with the transformation of society acts and reflects on action, and is directed to students of social processes, people engaged in social action, and those whose careers are oriented toward service.

In its efforts to promote learning through the diffusion of proven materials, LazosLearning is also concerned with developing approaches and methods related to the deployment of such content to global participants on a large scale, especially using electronic media. Specifically, the Association is striving to learn how to assist groups of individuals in different locations and with different backgrounds and experiences to study together online, while maintaining critical elements of reflection, discussion, and thought about application of concepts in action that characterize the in-person study of the same materials.
