This course is 100% online and interactions are not live or

WBW's online courses
are self-paced, using videos and texts and graphics, available on your
schedule, 24-7, and discussion forums in which you can use videos and
texts and graphics to discuss and gain feedback, as well as to submit
optional assignments for feedback. There are also a few optional zoom
calls. Those are the only parts of the course that are scheduled.
Everything else is simply available on your schedule.
Everyone registered for the course will receive a PDF of David Swanson's book The Monroe Doctrine at 200 and What to Replace it With,
which will provide additional reading to those who want to go beyond
the written, video, and graphic materials provided in the course.
The purpose of the course is to inform the participant and enable
them to inform others of the history and current reality of the Monroe
Doctrine, which turns 200 on December 2, 2023, and of strategies to
replace it with something far preferable.

This course is 100% online and interactions are not live or
scheduled, so you can take part whenever works for you. Weekly
content
includes a mix of text, images, video, and audio. Instructors and
students utilize online discussion forums to go over each week's
content, as well as to provide feedback on optional assignment
submissions.
The course also
includes three 1-hour optional Zoom calls which are designed to
facilitate a more interactive and real-time learning experience.
World BEYOND War Education Director Phill Gittins and other World BEYOND War staff, board members, and partners will be online throughout the six weeks helping to facilitate, including Executive Director David Swanson and Latin America Organizer Gabriel Aguirre.
Time commitment/expectations: How much time you
spend and how deeply you engage is up to you. At a minimum, you can
expect to spend between 1-2 hours a week if you only review the weekly
content (text and videos). We hope, however, you’ll want to engage in
the online dialogue with peers and experts. This is where the real
richness of the learning occurs, where we have the opportunity to
explore new ideas, strategies, and visions for building a more peaceful
world. Depending on your level of engagement with the online discussion
you can expect to add another 1-3 hours a week. Finally, all
participants are encouraged to complete optional assignments (required
to earn a certificate). This is an opportunity to deepen and apply the
ideas explored each week to practical possibilities. Expect another 2
hours a week if you pursue these options.
Accessing the course. Prior to the start date, you will be sent instructions for how to access the course.
Earn a certificate. To earn a certificate,
participants must also complete optional weekly written assignments.
Instructors will return the assignment to the student with detailed
feedback. Submissions and feedback can be shared with everyone taking
the course or kept private between a student and the instructor, at the
student’s choice. Submissions must be completed by the conclusion of the
course.
