FREDERICK LAW OLMSTEAD: LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, SOCIAL REFORMER: Olmstead invented the profession of landscape architecture as well as the concepts of parkways and integrated park systems. He led the first campaign in the US to preserve natural scenery, and almost singlehandedly made city parks an essential part of American life. Click here to see the full syllabus.
HOW THINGS ARE MADE: From our computers to our chairs, our morning cereal and our daily pills, nearly everything we use – and countless other things that we never think much about – all were manufactured. How do products get from design to creation to delivery? This course explored how products or categories of products are manufactured. Click here to see the full syllabus.

“LLC offers unparalleled training in course design, syllabus preparation, and unique collaborative learning methods, as well as technical support. As a retired professor with thirty + years of teaching experience, I wish I had been so lucky as to have been offered the kind of course preparation workshops that LLC provides throughout the year. This is not only a great support system for coordinators, but it ensures that the quality of the course experience for LLC’s members remains consistently high.”
