    About the Course

    Mountains 101­­ is a broad and integrated overview of the mountain world. This 12-lesson course covers an interdisciplinary field of study
    focusing on the physical, biological, and human dimensions of mountain places in Alberta, Canada, and around the world. Specifically, we'll
    study the geological origins of mountains, how they’re built-up and worn-down over time; we’ll learn about their importance for biodiversity and
    water cycles, globally and locally; we’ll explore their cultural significance to societies around the globe, and how that relationship has evolved
    over time; and we’ll learn how mountains are used, how they’re protected, and how today they’re experiencing rapid change...

    Some interesting info and the photos were wonderful.

    There was a problem with Lesson 5 - the first time I completed it it didn't register so I had to do it twice to 'complete' the course.

    Very interesting course! I love the field aspect of the course more maybe because I'm a field geologist . The course gave me more understanding about what mountains are in real life.

    A fun beginners course to the mountains. I enjoyed it thoroughly & found it thought provoking.

    The only part of Videos I did not enjoy was the cameo appearance of Justin....Yuck.

    What a great course. On top of learning a lot about mountains, there are suggestions for extra resources (articles, books, videos) at the end of every week's worth of material.
