MWEE 101 is an online, asynchronous course for the Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE). The course is not a requirement of a MWEE training.

This course is made up of three lessons: Why MWEEs?, What Makes a MWEE?, and Planning and Evaluating MWEEs. Each of the three lessons are followed by a reflection lesson. You will contribute to a single reflection document throughout the course and upload this document at the completion of the course if you want a Certificate of Completion. Most participants report spending 5-10 hours taking this course.

CCIU will be managing your Act 48 credit for this course.
