| Summary: | Data are available at: https://arcticdata.io/data/10.18739/A2K06X26P. This dataset provides the complete course curriculum for asynchronous/synchronous 8-week online course on the visualization of climate change in Arctic locations, namely Nunavut. The program was designed by collaboratively designed by Helen Roos from the ilinniapaa Skills Development Center (Iqaluit, Nunavut), Dr. Olaf Kuhlke of the University of Minnesota Duluth, and Dr. Alec C. Johnson from the University of St. Thomas, as well as local partner organizations including the West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative/Dorset Fine Arts. The program engaged high-school students and young adults in learning about two interrelated components: a) climate change evidence and visualization, utilizing and contributing to the Climate Visuals framework (https://climatevisuals.org/), and b) professional photography/videography. Students learned about existing evidence for climate change in different biomes across the globe, utilized the key principles of visualizing climate change, and practiced how to use photography and documentary filmmaking to collect evidence of climate change in their communities, ultimately creating professional photography and a documentary film that was included as part of the cultural program at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Glasgow in November 2021, curated by the Center for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow, Scotland. This data set includes the curriculum content for Modules 4-7 of the course, which focuses on climate change visualization, photography skills development, and the production of documentary film. The files included are complete downloadable/uploadable Desire2Learn (D2L) Brightspace Learning Management System (LMS) archive, with instructions and assignments. The zipped file included here can be uploaded to Canvas and D2L Brightspace Learning Management Systems, for use in coursework by interested instructors. Separate datasets will include the documentary film produced as a result of this course, and the photography by students.
