Who makes the courses?
World learning NGOs, companies and institutions make the courses. We do not have courses made by universities.

Why do tags have colors?
The colors indicate how many times you have completed that type of tag. The colors move from red (infrequently) towards green (frequently).
What is an exercise?
Just like in a classroom, we do not learn just from reading or listening to a speaker do a short or a long lecture. We store information and make sure the information we learn sticks through exercises. They can be a written assignment, peer feedback, a journal and much more. When you complete an exercise you don’t only learn new information about sustainability or entrepreneurship, you also get to practice a skill or competence. And that’s what 21st Century learning is all about.
