Gala

The Gala initiative makes learning grounded, dynamic, and collaborative. We built the Gala learning environment to make the first collaborative teaching cases in sustainability science available to all. We emphasize openness, iterative design, and responsive assessment for learning communities across the world. We still support environmental and sustainability content, but Gala has grown since its inception— thanks entirely to our makers and users— to host scores of cases and learning modules on a diverse range of topics. Individuals or groups of users can create, revise, and publish materials together to facilitate learning. Many modules use real data to bridge the gap between the field and the classroom, fostering lifelong learning in networks and organizations. Gala is designed and re-designed by the people who use the platform, and built to integrate seamlessly with other open platforms. When you craft a course or other learning experience with Gala, you’re taking advantage of a plethora of content with no paywall, which can be arranged, sorted, and adapted to your requirements. The content you choose can also be expanded with modules of your own, and shared widely across open ecosystems and even other commercial platforms.
