Abstract | This paper presents a practical way of incorporating awareness about the greenhouse gas emissions into tertiary courses. A tertiary course on Supply Chain Management was selected for this purpose. A specially designed case study was provided to the students. The main aim of this case study was to encourage students to trace back the main processes involved in making a product with the purpose of identifying and reducing the energy consumptions in different stages. The case study was undertaken with guidance and feedback. Students were asked to engage in a threaded online discussion on the course discussion group. The suggested solutions were complemented with the necessary feeback and comments and then they were made available to all students to view. |
