Open Educational Resources

NAVIGATING EARTH’S OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
The EARTH Open Educational Resources (OERs) are designed to equip educators and learners with practical tools to explore innovation management and sustainability in logistics. The materials are structured into three progressive modules, each guiding learners from foundational concepts to hands-on application. For more information and details on the structure of the materials, please download the instructions below.

What to expect...

Three-Module Structure 

Module 1: Warm-Up Exercise
Introduces the fundamentals of innovation management with a focus on logistics. Students explore the topic independently, guided by research tasks and instructions to deepen understanding.

Module 2: Innovation Management Digitalisation and Sustainability
Presents how innovation management can be carried digitally and provides a curated list of tools to manage sustainable innovations in logistics. With step-by-step instructions, students critically analyse these tools and their practical applications.

Module 3: Real-Life Challenge
Guides students through the six stages of the Innovation Management Process using a logistics case study. Students utilise digital tools at each stage to manage a sustainable innovation process, demonstrating how the tools support the implementation of sustainability in logistics.

Weekly Learning Materials

Each module runs over several weeks and is supported by three core resources. Begin with the Teacher’s Guide for planning, then use the Slide Deck and Worksheets to deliver and deepen the learning experience.

Teacher’s Guide

A comprehensive step-by-step manual for teachers, with instructions for preparing and facilitating each session. It includes background information, learning outcomes, suggested timings, guiding questions, and tips for moderation.

Slide Deck

Professionally designed PowerPoint slides for in-class use, covering key concepts, case studies, and discussion prompts. Some slides (such as introductory overviews) are intended for teacher preparation only and should be removed before presenting in class.

Worksheets

Interactive worksheets to guide students through activities tailored to the session’s topic. Teachers should adapt these as necessary to fit their class formats and students' needs.

Together, these materials form a flexible, pick-and-choose resource package tailored for higher education and vocational training. Whether used in whole or in part, and whether delivered online, in person, or in a hybrid format, the EARTH OERs allow teachers to customise their approach by selecting, adapting, and combining elements to suit their students’ needs. The EARTH OERs support the development of future-ready, sustainability-focused innovators in diverse educational contexts.
