At the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS), innovation and the use of new methods and technologies is an integral part of what we do. The SEAS Digital Learning Hub compiles initiatives and offerings that can be utilized by students, faculty, alumni, executives, and, in some cases, the general public.
The SEAS Digital Learning Hub is gathered into four categories, which aim to empower the learner’s experience and engagement by offering easy-to-access content, materials, and courses to facilitate a personalized path that can range from competency-based learning to experimentation with new technologies.
- Online Learning: learn at your own pace from courses, teach-outs, and lectures.
- Collaborative Learning: an open, collaborative platform for creating, revising, teaching, and sharing media-rich learning modules.
- Learning Innovation: innovative web-based tools and technologies that are developed or used by SEAS faculty, researchers and students.
- Lifelong Learning: learning opportunities that are available to all, including alumni and friends not currently enrolled at U-M.
Online Learning

Collaborative Learning
Gala is an open platform for collaboratively creating, revising, teaching and sharing media-rich learning modules. It is used across U-M units and other universities and organizations and emphasizes inclusive, iterative and dynamic content production.
Learning Innovation
SEAS faculty and students apply innovative methods and educational technologies to enhance the learning experience. This ranges from faculty-created research platforms and simulation tools to student-created games and 3D visualization.
Lifelong Learning
Many of the SEAS digital learning opportunities outlined above are available to all, but we also offer lifelong learning options that are of particular interest to alumni and friends of SEAS, allowing the opportunity for personal or team growth.
