Thank you to Dr. Tanya Halsall, The Royal Ottawa, for providing this post.

Researchers at Carleton University are looking for volunteers for an outdoor learning study.

The project aims to examine the experiences of educators and students who are teaching and learning outdoors and decision-makers shaping outdoor learning policies to explore the factors that influence success and identify ways to help others become involved in outdoor learning. The interviews will be audio/video recorded through Zoom.
