Cycle 12 of the annual Elfin Permaculture Design 
Course Online begins October 14, 2007. The course 
runs about six months and includes reading 
assignments from books, papers and the course CD, 
4 reports from each student including a full 
permaculture design report, regular class 
assignments, and class discussion via email.

Instructors are course designer, Dan Hemenway, 
principal discussion leader Dr. Willem Smuts, and 
special instructor Cynthia Hemenway, CNM, who 
leads the Design for Health module.  Bob Waldrop 
is a teaching assistant.

Enrollment of certificate students is limited. Up 
to 20 non-certificate students (no design report) 
and unlimited monitors (no participation) may join 
in.

The course CD, which includes more than 300 items 
including papers, course assignments, instructor's 
lectures, background information, reference 
databases, and sample designs, is available 
separately in a special, non-certificate edition.

The current course protocol and related 
information including instructor CVs may be 
downloaded from 
http://www.barkingfrogspermaculture.org/Protocol3_4_07.pdf.
Additional information, including an outline of 
the course content, is available at 
http://www.barkingfrogspermaculture.org/onlinepdc.htm 
.

There are several levels of participation, thus 
allowing you to tailor the course for your needs. 
For only $250, you can monitor the course -- which 
means that you receive all messages/discussion 
related to course content, plus you get the course 
CD with hundreds of pages of permaculture material 
that is not available elsewhere.  You can 
participate in study group discussions.  You can't 
post to the whole group, however, nor do you 
submit assignments.

If you are primarily interested in gaining a basic 
knowledge of permaculture, and are not looking to 
earn a permaculture design certificate, then 
monitoring the 12th cycle of the Online 
Permaculture Design Course would be a great way to 
go.  The class CD that comes with the course is a 
great resource.
