Permaculture Design Course CD Released
        The Permaculture Design Course CD was released by Elfin
Permaculture on Aug.
1. The CD incorporates the postings and assignments of our annual
Permaculture
Design Course Online, which begins its seventh cycle on Sept. 15,
2002. It
includes hundreds of weekly posts from the instructors, the full
Permaculture
Design Course Pamphlet series, TRIP directory of nearly 2000 groups
related to
permaculture, sample designs and a number of articles and papers.  
        We offer the Permaculture Design Course CD in two versions,
one for
certificate students pregistered in the online course and one for
online course
monitors and self-study students. The CD will be free to certificate
students
and monitors in preregistered Cycle 7 of the course.  Anyone may buy
the CD at
the monitor fee, which we will hold at $100 until Cycle 7 starts on
September
15.  On or after Oct. 15, the price of the CD will go up to $250.  It
will be
included in the price of monitoring the course and in the price of the
reading
package for full students.

7th Annual Online Permaculture Design Course Begins Sept. 15
        There is still room for a few more students in the cycle 7 of
Elfin
Permaculture’s Permaculture Design Course Online.  The course runs six
months
and includes structured reading assignments in texts, four reports per
student
including a full permaculture design report, and discussion via email.
This
year for the first time most of the weekly instructional posts will be
provided
on the new course CD, providing more flexibility for students who want
to read
ahead and freeing instructors’ time for more discussion and personal
attention to students. Instructors include the course and CD designer,
Dan
Hemenway, Cynthia Baxter Hemenway, CNM, teaching the Design for Health
module,
and Willem Smuts providing depth to class discussions. Tim Packer,
webmaster of
the Barking Frogs Permaculture Center site, will again serve as the
course
“computer guy.” Willem will lead also discussions in Cycle 8 of the
course
beginning March 16. This will be the first time that Elfin
Permaculture has
given the course twice in one year. Maximum enrollment is 10
certificate
students and 20 new students total.  There is always carryover of
several
students from the previous course cycle, also, at no additional
tuition charge.

Tuition Increase Delayed
        Tuition for the Elfin Permaculture Design Course Online will
increase around
Oct. 15.  This allows time for everyone who planned to take course
cycle 7,
beginning Sept. 15, to sign on at the old rates.  This will be the 7th
year
without a tuition increase.
