OCAREER Modules

For each letter of OCAREER, there is a module associated with that topic, culminating with the resource module that contains references, resources, and referrals. Before we begin the mnemonic modules, there is an introductory module to provide the science of climate change, for a total of eight modules. In addition to the slide deck, there will be one publication to read for each module and a related You-Tube video. At the end of four of the modules, a knowledge check will assess your strengths in these modules. These checks will cover both the slide deck and the publication. For those completing the certificate the final assignment will be to develop an infographic and to test it with at least three people of the intended audience.  You have three months to complete the modules, the knowledge checks, and the assignment.
